DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
How we handle floor joint sealing in Brede
Across Brede, we seal floor and skirting joints in homes and businesses. We start by checking the floor type and the joint, because the right sealant depends on both. If you have perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout and gaps opening between the floor and skirting, we can help, whatever the surface.
Older homes in small places like Brede often have timber floors that move with the seasons, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Brede and everywhere else we cover.

What affects the cost of floor joint sealing
Call for a quick quote. What matters most is:
- The number of rooms or windows
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- How much there is to do
- Working hours on commercial sites
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

For floor joint sealing in Brede, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us. Tell us what the problem is and where, and you will get a clear quote before any work starts.
Why deal with it now?
Open joints along wet floors let water into the subfloor and behind skirting. Sealing them now keeps the problem at the surface. In a small place like Brede, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Combining jobs into one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.
Why Brede customers choose us
- Trusted Arbo and Everbuild sealants
- White, clear, grey or another colour, product permitting
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
- Use furniture pads near skirting
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
Mop with a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor. Keeping the edges drier helps the sealant last longer.
Cracks along tile grout lines come back unless the movement is dealt with. Adding a movement joint early can stop cracks spreading to the tiles.

Brede: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords with property near Doleham station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Can you do floor joint sealing in Brede?
Yes, Brede is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
What sealant do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We’ll tell you what we’re using and why.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. The old sealant always comes out first.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
What information do you need?
Tell us what needs doing and where, plus pictures if you have them. We will ask anything else we need to know.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
What we cannot put right
In fairness, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Damaged concrete that needs breaking out and repairing
- Water getting under the tiles from elsewhere
- A tiled floor that needs relaying
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think.

How the visit works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, do the work and clear up. It generally takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. Somewhere as small as Brede, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start by checking the floor, the joint and what traffic it takes.
- Any old caulk, grout or sealant is raked or cut out.
- We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.
- The chosen sealant goes in, coloured to suit the floor.
- The joint is tooled neatly and the cure time explained.
How to prepare
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Joints and finishes in Brede homes
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 Brede Primary School, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up. For buildings such as The Parish Church of St George, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. For landlords with property near Doleham station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.
