How we handle floor joint sealing in Walderton
Wet-area floor joints keep water out of the gap behind skirting and plinths. We seal them with a flexible, water-resistant sealant. If you are dealing with dirt and water collecting in open floor joints and cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint, we can put it right.
Older homes in small places like Walderton often have timber floors that move with the seasons, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

- We remove what’s in the joint now.
- The joint is vacuumed clean and backing fitted where needed.

What floor joint sealing looks like in Walderton
Floors around West Sussex run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they do not all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
Community buildings like The Parish Church of St Mary are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

What we’re called out for in Walderton
A new floor or screed shrinks and settles as it dries. Gaps at the edges appear in the first year or so and anything rigid cracks.
Look out for these signs:
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
If you let a flat or house near Nutbourne station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.

Can I do it myself?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Your questions about floor joint sealing in Walderton
I let a flat near Nutbourne station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Walderton?
Yes, Walderton is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
What causes gaps between the floor and skirting?
It’s normally the floor moving: timber drying in winter, floors settling, or caulk that can’t stretch. A flexible sealant stays closed as the floor moves.
Should I try DIY first?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Why not just use caulk?
Caulk cannot cope with movement or water. Skirting joints move with the floor, so a flexible sealant suits them better.
How long does the job take?
Typically it takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes. Bigger jobs take longer.

What affects the quote in Walderton
We don’t publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- The number and length of the joints
- The product the joint needs
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Any mould that needs treating
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.
What we need to know
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- How we’d reach the joints
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- The address or postcode of the job
Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we will come back to you with a quote.
Leave it or put it right?
Regrouting a cracked line in a tiled floor rarely fixes it. The movement is still there, so the grout fails again. Replacing that line with flexible sealant gives it somewhere to go. Around Walderton, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
Why us?
- We never seal over old sealant
- White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows
- We leave the area clean and tidy
