How the visit works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint, including the tidy-up. For a job in Blacklands, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- We clear the edges of the floor so the joints are easy to reach.
- Old material is removed from the joint.
- Edges are cleaned and dried.
- A flexible sealant suited to the floor is applied and tooled.
- We check the joints and explain the aftercare.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Move anything stored near the joints

About our floor joint sealing in Blacklands
Wet-area floor joints keep water out of the gap behind skirting and plinths. We seal them with a flexible, water-resistant sealant and stops dirt collecting. Common call-outs are for dirt and water collecting in open floor joints and gaps at thresholds between rooms, on commercial floors, wet room & bathroom floors and tiled floors.
Homes around Blacklands range from older cottages to newer houses, and their floors range just as widely, each moving in its own way. Skirting and threshold joints need a sealant that suits the floor.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Why it’s worth doing now in Blacklands
The right product depends on the floor and the traffic: flexible sealant for skirting and tiles, silicone in wet areas, and floor-joint products for concrete. Getting that choice wrong is a common reason joints fail. In an older home around Blacklands, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.

- An ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Full insurance on every job

Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
What sealant work can’t fix
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Loose, hollow or cracked tiles, which need a tiler
- Subfloor problems that need a flooring contractor
- Damaged concrete that needs breaking out and repairing
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Skirting boards
- Wet room & bathroom floors
- Tiled floors
- Commercial floors
- Concrete floor joints
- Thresholds
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
- Use furniture pads near skirting
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
Have a look at the joints once the heating season is over. Small gaps at the ends can be touched up before they spread.
Water getting into floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens can damage what’s underneath. A sound seal stops that happening.
Do you need floor joint sealing in Blacklands?
When a tiled floor has no movement joints, the grout takes the strain. You’ll see a crack running along the grout, where a flexible joint should have been.
The most common problems we see are:
- Failed joint filler in concrete floors
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
Community buildings like Christ Church are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they’re fully insured
- How much experience the applicator has
- How long to leave it before use
- Whether VAT is included
Common questions in Blacklands
Can you do floor joint sealing in Blacklands?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Blacklands is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing.
Do you work for landlords with property near Ore station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
Normally it’s movement: heating drying the timber, or a filler that is too rigid. A flexible sealant stays closed as the floor moves.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Where are you based?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Is it messy?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and we clear up when we’re done.
Can you seal where the floor meets the bath panel?
Yes. These joints get wet every time the floor is cleaned, so we seal them with silicone suited to wet areas.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Most of the time, yes. We will tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before we start.

Landlord and commercial work in Blacklands
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for.
New homes and floors in Blacklands
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. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
If you look after a building such as Ark Blacklands Primary Academy, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early. For landlords with property near Ore station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.
