What floor joint sealing looks like in Westbourne
Floors around West Sussex run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they don’t all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
Community buildings like St John the Baptist's Church are part of the picture too: floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. Rented homes near Emsworth station change hands often, and open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty. Schools such as Westbourne Primary School are buildings too, and entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

About our floor joint sealing in Westbourne
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. If you are dealing with gaps at thresholds between rooms and floor edges that trap water and grime, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
For a small place like Westbourne, the journey and access are planned in advance, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

What happens on the day
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The work itself takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors, including the tidy-up. In a small place like Westbourne, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start by checking the floor, the joint and what traffic it takes.
- We remove what’s in the joint now.
- The joint is vacuumed clean and backing fitted where needed.
- The chosen sealant goes in, coloured to suit the floor.
- The joint is tooled neatly and the cure time explained.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

How we quote for floor joint sealing
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- How many areas need sealing
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The amount of work
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
Asking for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- The address or postcode of the job
- The rough size of the job
- Whether it has been sealed before
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or email us if that’s easier. Describe what needs sealing and we will talk you through the work before giving you a price.

How the job changes by surface
Wet room and bathroom floors
Bathroom floor edges get wet at every clean. A neat silicone joint keeps it out.
Tiled floors
When grout cracks along a straight line, the floor is telling you it needs to move. That line is converted to a flexible joint if it’s in the right place.
Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
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.
Your questions about floor joint sealing in Westbourne
I let a flat near Emsworth station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you cover smaller places like Westbourne?
Yes. Westbourne is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can sealant along the skirting be painted?
Where the skirting will be painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. Silicone isn’t made to be painted, so it’s kept for wet areas and unpainted joints.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, it will not last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
Can you seal where the floor meets the bath panel?
Yes. We cut out any old sealant or caulk and reseal with flexible silicone.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Can you add a movement joint to a tiled floor?
Often, yes. We replace the grout along a suitable line with flexible sealant in a matching colour. Loose or cracked tiles need a tiler first.
Leave it or put it right?
An open concrete floor joint gets wider every time something heavy crosses it. Resealing it early protects the edges and keeps the damage down. In a small place like Westbourne, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Doing several joints on one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We will send you a clear quote for the lot.

Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
Do not paint over silicone. If the joint will be painted, tell us beforehand so we use a paintable sealant.
Water getting into floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens can damage what’s underneath. Resealing early keeps it out.
