Floor joint sealing in Wivelsfield: local notes
Across West Sussex, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and each moves in its own way. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
If you look after a building such as Wivelsfield Primary School, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic. Rented homes near Wivelsfield station change hands often, and open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.

About our floor joint sealing in Wivelsfield
Thresholds are where two floors, or a floor and a door, meet. We use a flexible product that suits both floors so the joint stays neat. If you have grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant and tiled floors with no room to move, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Wivelsfield, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
Every job is covered by our 12-month guarantee.

How the job changes by surface
Tiled floors
Large or heated tiled floors need room to move. Where needed, a line of grout is replaced with flexible sealant coloured to suit.
Skirting boards
If the skirting is painted, a paintable flexible sealant works well. In wet rooms and kitchens, silicone is generally better.
Wivelsfield questions
Do you cover smaller places like Wivelsfield?
Yes, Wivelsfield is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
I let a flat near Wivelsfield station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme.
Should I try DIY first?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. All our work carries our one-year guarantee.
How do I get a quote for floor joint sealing in Wivelsfield?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote and we will talk you through it.
Why has a gap opened under my skirting?
Movement from drying timber and settling floors. Caulk tends to crack; a flexible sealant doesn’t.
Will I be able to paint over the new joint?
Where you plan to paint, we do. Silicone doesn’t take paint.
When to call us in Wivelsfield
When a tiled floor has no movement joints, the grout takes the strain. Cracks often run straight along a line of joints, showing where a movement joint was needed.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Ote Hall Chapel, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.
What your quote should include
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Who turns up on the day
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Whether VAT is included

Landlords, agents and businesses in Wivelsfield
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. Several properties can be quoted together.
Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
- Do not fill floor joints with caulk where they move or get wet
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
Have a look at the joints once the heating season is over. Small gaps at the ends can be touched up before they spread.
Sealing a gap while it’s small is a quick job. Left alone, they collect dirt and widen.
Why act early in Wivelsfield
Waiting until the next redecoration can mean a winter of draughts and dirt in the gaps. Sealing them now is a short job. Around Wivelsfield, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
