About our floor joint sealing in Barcombe Mills
Gaps along the bottom of skirting are common in new and older homes alike. Decorators’ caulk generally cracks where there’s movement, so we close it with a flexible sealant instead. We work on thresholds, wet room & bathroom floors and tiled floors, and the jobs we see most are failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels and skirting caulk that keeps splitting.
Around Barcombe Mills, 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.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Should I try it myself first?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
Lift furniture rather than sliding it over sealed joints. Sharp edges can cut the sealant before it has fully cured.
In wet areas, an open floor joint lets water reach the subfloor. Resealing early keeps it out.
Floor joint sealing in Barcombe Mills: local notes
Across East Sussex, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they do not all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
For buildings such as The Parish Church of St Mary, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. Schools such as Barcombe Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic. Letting a property close to Cooksbridge station? Then open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.

Barcombe Mills: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords with property near Cooksbridge station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can be quoted together. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Is Barcombe Mills within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you reseal concrete floor joints in an industrial unit?
Yes, from warehouses and units to offices and shops. Work can be planned around your hours, and out-of-hours work can be arranged.
Why not just use caulk?
Not where the floor moves or gets wet. It splits once the floor shifts. A flexible sealant lasts longer there.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. More than one area can be quoted together.
Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How long does the job take?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours, depending on the length of joint. Bigger jobs take longer.
Why act early in Barcombe Mills
Floor joints left open collect dirt that’s hard to clean out. Sealed joints are easier to keep clean and finishes the floor. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Barcombe Mills, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.

We bring everything the job needs with us. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors.

- First we check the joint and the floor and agree which sealant suits it.
- Old caulk, grout or sealant is removed from the joint.
- The joint is cleaned, vacuumed and backed where depth needs controlling.
- A flexible sealant, or a floor-joint sealant for concrete, is applied in a colour to suit.
- We tool the joint neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
