Floor joint sealing in Alfriston
Every floor moves a little, so its edges need a joint that can flex. Skirting-to-floor gaps, tiled floor joints and concrete joints are all sealed with a sealant suited to the movement and traffic. Common call-outs are for perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout and open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards, across concrete floor joints, commercial floors and tiled floors.
Around Alfriston, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Surface by surface
Concrete floor joints
Old filler, dust and debris are cleaned out of the joint. Backing goes in where the depth needs controlling.
Skirting boards
If the skirting is painted, a paintable flexible sealant works well. Where water is involved, silicone is the better choice.
What affects the cost of floor joint sealing
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The size of the job
- The number of rooms or windows
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Any working-time requirements on site
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- How we’d reach the joints
- The type of property
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- The address or postcode of the job

New homes and floors in Alfriston
Floors around East 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 look after a building such as Alfriston School, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic. Community buildings like Church of St. Andrew are part of the picture too: floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Keep dirt out of the joints
- Don’t paint over silicone
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
Keep heavy furniture from dragging across the joints. Sharp edges can cut the sealant before it has fully cured.
Open skirting gaps let in draughts, dust and sometimes insects. Sealing it keeps the room tidier and stops it getting worse.
How the visit works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we have agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint. Somewhere as small as Alfriston, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We clear the edges of the floor so the joints are easy to reach.
- We take out the cracked caulk, grout or old sealant.
- Edges are cleaned and dried.
- We apply a flexible sealant suited to the floor and tooled.
- Finally, we check the work and talk you through aftercare.
Before we arrive
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Common questions in Alfriston
Is Alfriston within the area you cover?
Yes. Alfriston 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 you help a landlord with a rental near Berwick (Sussex) station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Do you seal floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens?
Yes. These joints get wet every time the floor is cleaned, so a flexible silicone is the right choice.
Should I try DIY first?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
My floor grout keeps cracking in a line. Can you help?
Often, yes. Where a floor needs one, we rake out grout along the right line and replace it with flexible sealant in a matching colour. If tiles are loose, that needs fixing first.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Just list everything you need and we’ll quote it together.
