About our floor joint sealing in Bachelor's Bump
Painted skirting can be sealed with a flexible product that can be painted over. For bathrooms and kitchens, silicone is usually the better choice because it handles water. We work on skirting boards, concrete floor joints and commercial floors, and common reasons people get in touch are grout cracking in a straight line across a floor and concrete floor joints that have broken down.
In a village or hamlet like Bachelor's Bump, 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.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
- Don’t slide heavy items over sealed joints
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
- Do not fill floor joints with caulk where they move or get wet
Do not paint over silicone. If the joint will be painted, tell us beforehand so we use a paintable sealant.
Concrete joints damaged by traffic get worse quickly. Sealing them early protects the edges and the floor safer.
How it works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we’re working on, so you can get on with your day. The job usually takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. For a village or hamlet like Bachelor's Bump, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
- Any old caulk, grout or sealant is raked or cut out.
- We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.
- We apply the sealant in a colour that suits the floor.
- We tool it neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Concrete floor joints

Shops, offices, warehouses and units all have floor joints that need sealing. We talk through the traffic and choose a sealant suited to it.
For landlords and businesses
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.

Joints and finishes in Bachelor's Bump homes
Floors around East 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.
Rented homes near Three Oaks station change hands often, and open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty. Community buildings like Christ Apostolic Church Hastings are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. If you look after a building such as The Hastings Academy, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
