Floor joint sealing in Bodiam

How we handle floor joint sealing in Bodiam

Thresholds are where two floors, or a floor and a door, meet. We use a flexible product that suits both floors so the joint stays neat. We work on skirting boards, wet room & bathroom floors and thresholds, and people most often call us about failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels and tiled floors with no room to move.

In a village or hamlet like Bodiam, 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.

You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

What we’re called out for in Bodiam

Grout is rigid, so a tiled floor with nowhere to move cracks along a grout line. You will see a crack running along the grout, where a flexible joint should have been.

If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:

  • Gaps at thresholds between rooms
  • Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
  • Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
  • Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor

Rented homes near Robertsbridge station change hands often, and gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.

How to choose a mastic man

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
  • Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
  • Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
  • Keep dirt out of the joints

Keep off the joint for the time we give you. Light foot traffic is generally fine sooner than wet cleaning or wheels, and we will tell you both.

Small gaps are quick to seal. Left alone, they collect dirt and widen.

New homes and floors in Bodiam

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 church, hall or community building such as The Parish Church of St Giles, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. Schools such as Bodiam Manor School are buildings too, and floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.

Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:

  • Damaged concrete that needs breaking out and repairing
  • Structural movement or subsidence

If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we seal

  • Thresholds
  • Wet room & bathroom floors
  • Commercial floors

  • Skirting boards

What affects the cost of floor joint sealing

Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:

  • The number of rooms or windows
  • Whether there’s mould to deal with
  • Working hours on commercial sites
  • The product the joint needs

Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

What to tell us for a quote

To make quoting easier, please include:

  • Pictures of the joints, sent by email
  • How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
  • Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
  • Whether it has been sealed before

For a quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us where the job is and what the problem looks like. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.

For landlords and businesses

If you manage several properties in or around Bodiam, several properties can go on one quote. Send us the addresses and the work at each.

Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.

Can I do it myself?

Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.

The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.

Common questions in Bodiam

I let a flat near Robertsbridge station. Can you help?

Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.

Is Bodiam in your area for floor joint sealing?

Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Bodiam is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.

Can you match the sealant colour?

In most cases you can choose. We will tell you which colours the right product comes in.

How long does the job take?

Typically it takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we’ll tell you how long to expect.

Do you use a paintable sealant?

On joints you want to paint, yes. Silicone doesn’t take paint, so tell us your plans.

When can I walk on the floor?

It depends on the product and the conditions. Before we leave, we tell you when it can be walked on, mopped and driven over.

Can you seal over the old sealant?

No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.

Can you use decorators’ caulk instead?

Caulk cannot cope with movement or water. Skirting joints move with the floor, so a flexible sealant suits them better.

What we do, step by step

The work is kept neat and contained to the area we’re working on, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. For a village or hamlet like Bodiam, 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.

  1. We clear the edges of the floor so the joints are easy to reach.
  2. Old material is removed from the joint.
  3. We clean and dry the edges of the joint.
  4. We apply a flexible sealant suited to the floor.
  5. Finally, we check the work and talk you through aftercare.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any tricky access
  • Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
  • Tell us about any water getting in
