Floor joint sealing in Battle, done properly
Concrete floors in warehouses and units have joints that take heavy wear. We reseal them with a product chosen for the movement and the traffic. We work on tiled floors, commercial floors and skirting boards, and common reasons people get in touch are failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels and concrete floor joints that have broken down.
In smaller places like Battle, new homes tend to come as small developments or single plots. The sealant around baths, showers, frames and skirtings needs to be right from the start.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in East Sussex.

Joints and finishes in Battle 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. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Battle and Langton Church of England Primary School, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early. Rented homes near Battle station change hands often, and gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.

How the visit works
At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The work normally takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors, depending on the size of the job. For a job in Battle, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- We look at the gap and the floor type and agree the right sealant.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Advice
How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
Keep off the joint for the time we give you. Light foot traffic is normally fine sooner than wet cleaning or wheels so we will give you each time.
Sealing a gap while it’s small is a quick job. Ignored, they fill with dirt and open further and are harder to clean out.
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.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
What happens if it’s left?
Water that gets past a floor joint can damage the floor beneath. Sealing them now keeps the problem at the surface. Homes in smaller places like Battle 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.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Common problems we fix in Battle
Caulk is the usual filler for skirting. In a joint that moves or gets wet, it splits so the gap reappears.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
For buildings such as The Parish Church of St Mary, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

Will you come out to Battle?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Where are you based?
Our base is in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Can sealant along the skirting be painted?
Where the skirting will be painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. Silicone will not take paint, so it’s kept for wet areas and unpainted joints.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
Timber floors and skirting shrink and swell through the year. We close it with a flexible sealant that moves with the floor.
Do you work on commercial floors?
Yes. Old filler is cleaned out and the joint resealed with a floor-joint product. Tell us what runs over the floor and we’ll quote.
How long does floor joint sealing take?
Most jobs take a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors, including the preparation. We will confirm how long when we quote.
