Floor joint sealing for West Chiltington Common homes and businesses
How the job changes by surface
Tiled floors
Large or heated tiled floors need room to move. Where needed, a line of grout is replaced with flexible sealant in a matching colour.
Concrete floor joints
Concrete floors have sawn or formed joints to control cracking. We reseal them with a floor-joint product suited to the traffic.
About our floor joint sealing in West Chiltington Common
Large tiled floors, and those over underfloor heating, often need movement joints. Where one is needed, we rake out the grout along the right line and replace it with flexible sealant in a matching colour. Common call-outs are for worn sealant at door thresholds and failed joint filler in concrete floors, across skirting boards, concrete floor joints and commercial floors.
Where new homes go up in smaller places like West Chiltington Common, it’s often a small development or a single plot. The sealant around baths, showers, frames and skirtings needs to be right from the start.
All our work is covered by our 12-month guarantee.

When to call us in West Chiltington Common
New floors settle once they’re in use. The edges pull away from the skirting and anything rigid cracks.
The problems people generally mention when they call are:
- Chipped and open joints in warehouse floors
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Mary's Church, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

What affects the quote in West Chiltington Common
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- How easy the joints are to reach
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first.

Questions from West Chiltington Common
Will you come out to West Chiltington Common?
Yes, West Chiltington Common is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Pulborough station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured for every job we do.
Is caulk good enough for skirting?
Caulk is fine for dry joints that don’t move, but it cracks where there’s movement or water. We use a flexible sealant for most skirting and floor joints.
How long will you be here?
That depends on how much there is to do, but as a guide it takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
Can you add a movement joint to a tiled floor?
Often, yes, at the edges and along suitable lines. We remove the grout and seal the line with flexible sealant so the floor can move.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, because it fails. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
How much does floor joint sealing cost in West Chiltington Common?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a short description of the job.
Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
What happens on the day
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you. The visit itself generally takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes, depending on the amount of work. A visit to West Chiltington Common is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- The room is cleared along the joints so we can reach them.
- Old material is removed from the joint.
- Edges are cleaned and dried.
- A flexible sealant suited to the floor is applied.
- We check the joints and explain the aftercare.
How to prepare

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Look at floor joints each spring
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
Don’t paint over silicone. If the joint will be painted, tell us beforehand so we use a paintable sealant.
Sealing a gap while it’s small is a quick job. Left alone, they collect dirt and widen.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can be quoted together.
Joints and finishes in West Chiltington Common homes
