Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in West Dean
Good floor joints come down to the right product and clean, prepared edges. Old caulk, grout or failed sealant comes out first, the joint is cleaned and backed where needed, then the new sealant goes in. If you have skirting that has pulled away from the floor and failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels, we can put it right.
Work in a small place like West Dean just needs the journey and access planning, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in West Dean and across West Sussex.

Do you need floor joint sealing in West Dean?
Wheels crossing an unfilled concrete joint chip its edges. Pallet trucks and trolleys knock the edges away.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
- Chipped and open joints in warehouse floors
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as The Parish Church of St Andrew, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.
Questions to ask before you book
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- What insurance they hold
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
What else we do in West Dean
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 are set on DIY, put the effort into 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.
How we quote for floor joint sealing
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- The product the joint needs
- Access and height
- The number of rooms or windows
- Any mould that needs treating
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Whether it has been sealed before
To get a quote, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the location and a short description of the problem. You will have a clear quote before we start.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Why it’s worth doing now in West Dean
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. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like West Dean, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

West Dean: your questions answered
Do you cover West Dean for floor joint sealing?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and West Dean is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing.
I let a flat near Fishbourne station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, we can. More than one area can go on one quote.
Where are you based?
Our base is in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours for many products, and we’ll agree it with you first.
Why has a gap opened under my skirting?
Floors and walls move a little with the seasons, and new floors settle. A flexible sealant closes the gap without cracking like caulk.
What information do you need?
Tell us what needs doing and where. If we need more, we’ll ask.
What we do, step by step
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes. Somewhere as small as West Dean, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First we check the joint and the floor and agree which sealant suits it.
- Old caulk, grout or sealant is removed from the joint.
- We clean and vacuum the joint and fit backing where the depth needs setting.
- We apply a flexible sealant, or a floor-joint product on concrete, in a suitable colour.
- Finally we tool it smooth and explain when the floor can be used and cleaned.
Preparing for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Move anything stored near the joints

How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Use furniture pads near skirting
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
Do not paint over silicone. If the joint will be painted, tell us beforehand so we use a paintable sealant.
Open skirting gaps let in draughts, dust and sometimes insects. Sealing it early keeps the room cleaner and stops it getting worse.
