Why it’s worth doing now in Withdean
Caulk is quick and cheap, but it cracks where the joint moves or gets wet, so the gap reappears. A flexible sealant stretches instead. Homes in smaller places like Withdean can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

What floor joint sealing looks like in Withdean
Floors around Brighton and Hove 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.
For buildings such as St John the Evangelist's Church, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. Schools such as St Bernadette's Catholic Primary School are buildings too, and floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.

DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
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.
What the job involves on each surface
Skirting boards
Skirting pulls away from the floor as floors shrink and settle. A flexible sealant closes the gap without cracking in a colour to suit.
Thresholds
Thresholds between rooms meet two floors and often a door frame. A flexible sealant suits both floor finishes.

When to call us in Withdean
A floor laid tight to the walls has no room to move. It pushes against the walls and skirting as it expands and joints fail.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
Rented homes near Preston Park station change hands often, and open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.

Withdean questions
Is Withdean within the area you cover?
Yes, Withdean 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.
I let a flat near Preston Park station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Is there any odour?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
What causes gaps between the floor and skirting?
Generally it’s movement: timber drying in winter, floors settling, or caulk that cannot stretch. A flexible sealant stays closed as the floor moves.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
In most cases you can choose. We’ll tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before any work starts.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
The process
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building before we come, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint for a typical job. In a smaller place like Withdean, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- We look at the gap and the floor type and agree the right sealant.
- Whatever is in the joint now, whether caulk, grout or sealant, comes out.
- 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.
- We tool the joint neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
