Questions from West Thorney
Is West Thorney within the area you cover?
Yes, West Thorney is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you cover West Thorney for floor joint sealing?
Yes, West Thorney is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing.
What causes gaps between the floor and skirting?
Timber floors and skirting shrink and swell through the year. We close it with a flexible sealant that moves with the floor.
How long will you be here?
Typically it takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes. Bigger jobs take longer, and we’ll say how long yours will take.
What sealant do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will tell you what we are using.
Does someone need to be in?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Can you match the sealant colour?
In most cases you can choose. We will explain which colours are available.
Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in West Thorney
Concrete floors in warehouses and units have joints that take heavy wear. Each is resealed with a floor-joint product suited to what runs over it. If you have caulk that has cracked where the floor moves and skirting that has pulled away from the floor, we can put it right, on tiled floors, skirting boards and concrete floor joints alike.
In a village or hamlet like West Thorney, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in West Sussex.

Joints and finishes in West Thorney homes
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. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
If you let a flat or house near Southbourne station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Thorney Island Community Primary School, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

Why deal with it now?
Waiting until the next redecoration can mean a winter of draughts and dirt in the gaps. It’s a quick job to seal them now. Older cottages and farmhouses around West Thorney can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
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 fails, we can still redo it.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.

When to call us in West Thorney
Timber floors and skirting shrink and swell through the year. In winter, with the heating on, timber dries and gaps open and they change again in summer.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
Community buildings like The Parish Church of St Nicholas are part of the picture too: floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

How the job changes by surface
Tiled floors
When grout cracks along a straight line, the floor is telling you it needs to move. We rake out that line and seal it.
Wet room and bathroom floors
Bathroom floor edges get wet at every clean. A neat silicone joint keeps it out.
