Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
Mop with a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor. Less water at the edges helps the joints last.
A tiled floor that cracks along a line will keep cracking until it can move. Adding a movement joint early can stop cracks spreading to the tiles.
About our floor joint sealing in West Ashling

We work on thresholds, skirting boards and commercial floors, and common reasons people get in touch are threshold joints that have opened or worn and open joints that fill with dirt.

For buildings such as The Parish Church of St Mary, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. For landlords with property near Bosham station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.

FAQs for West Ashling
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Bosham station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Is West Ashling within the area you cover?
Yes. West Ashling is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
We will suggest a colour to suit the surroundings. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Can you use decorators’ caulk instead?
Because caulk cracks where there’s movement or water. Skirting joints move with the floor, so a flexible sealant suits them better.

Yes. We’re fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
Which products do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.

How we quote for floor joint sealing
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- The number and length of the joints
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The number of rooms or windows
- Which sealant suits the joint
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.
Helping us quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Whether it has been sealed before
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job. When it suits you, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Do you need floor joint sealing in West Ashling?
Caulk is the usual filler for skirting. In a joint that moves or gets wet, it splits so the gap reappears.
Look out for these signs:
- Open joints that fill with dirt
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
- Failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
If you look after a building such as Funtington Primary School, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.
What your quote should include
- What guarantee comes with the work
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
What happens on the day
There’s no need to move everything out, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint in most cases. In a small place like West Ashling, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start by looking at the floor, the gap and the traffic, then choose the product.
- Old caulk, grout or sealant is removed from the joint.
- The joint is cleaned, vacuumed and backed where depth needs controlling.
- We apply a flexible sealant, or a floor-joint product on concrete, in a suitable colour.
- The joint is tooled to a neat finish and we tell you when it can take feet and a mop.

Different surfaces, different methods
Commercial floors
In commercial buildings, we can plan floor joint work around opening hours. We can arrange out-of-hours work if the floor is busy.
Concrete floor joints
We clean concrete joints out thoroughly before sealing, vacuuming them clean. We fit backing where needed.
Leave it or put it right?
Open joints along wet floors let water into the subfloor and behind skirting. Sealing them now keeps the problem at the surface. Around West Ashling, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
