Floor joint sealing in West Chiltington, done properly
Gaps along the bottom of skirting are common in new and older homes alike. Decorators’ caulk normally cracks where there’s movement, so we close it with a flexible sealant instead. If you are dealing with failed joint filler in concrete floors and gaps between floors and kitchen plinths, we can help.
Around West Chiltington, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

New homes and floors in West Chiltington
Floors around West Sussex run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and each moves in its own way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
Managing a site like West Chiltington Community Primary School? Then floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early. If you let a flat or house near Pulborough station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.

Signs you need floor joint sealing in West Chiltington
A new floor or screed shrinks and settles as it dries. The edges pull away from the skirting and anything rigid cracks.
Look out for these signs:
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
- Tiled floors with no room to move
For buildings such as St Mary's Church, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.
Questions to ask before you book
- How long to leave it before use
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- Is VAT in the price?
Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
- Use furniture pads near skirting
- Keep dirt out of the joints
Keep heavy traffic off resealed concrete joints for the cure time we give you. Mark the area off so drivers avoid it until it’s ready.
Open skirting gaps let in draughts, dust and sometimes insects. Sealing it early keeps the room cleaner and stops it getting worse.
Can I do it myself?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
West Chiltington: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like West Chiltington?
Yes, West Chiltington is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
I let a flat near Pulborough station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Why has a gap opened under my skirting?
Floors and walls move a little with the seasons, and new floors settle. We close it with a flexible sealant that moves with the floor.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Normally, yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available for many products, and we agree the colour with you before we start.
Can sealant along the skirting be painted?
If you tell us beforehand, yes. Joints that will be painted get a paintable product and wet areas get silicone.
Where do you work from?
Our base is Crawley. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Is it messy?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.

- First we check the joint and the floor and agree which sealant suits it.
- We take out any old caulk, sealant or grout along the line.
- The joint is cleaned, vacuumed and backed where depth needs controlling.

- We tool the joint neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.

Leave it or put it right?
Leaving skirting gaps until the next decorating job lets dirt and draughts in. It’s a quick job to seal them now for most homes. Around West Chiltington, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.
