Floor & skirting joints in Broad Oak, East Sussex
Our applicators work in Broad Oak on sealing skirting-to-floor joints, tiled floor movement joints and concrete floor joints. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly and every job guaranteed for a year.
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
In commercial units, keep pallet trucks and heavy wheels off new joints until they’ve cured. Mark the area off so drivers avoid it.
Sealing a gap while it’s small is a quick job. Left alone, they collect dirt and widen over time.

We work on tiled floors, skirting boards and concrete floor joints, and the jobs we see most are threshold joints that have opened or worn and gaps opening between the floor and skirting.

What floor joint sealing looks like in Broad Oak
Floors around East Sussex run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they do not all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
Managing a site like Brede Primary School? Then entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic. For buildings such as The Parish Church of St George, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

What we are called out for in Broad Oak
Wheels crossing an unfilled concrete joint chip its edges. Pallet trucks and trolleys knock the edges away and the joint gets wider.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
- Tiled floors with no room to move
For landlords with property near Doleham station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.

What happens on the day
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you. The work normally takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint, depending on the amount of work. In a small place like Broad Oak, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we check the joint and the floor and agree which sealant suits it.
- We take out any old caulk, sealant or grout along the line.
- 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 if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Advice
Leave it or put it right?
Putting new grout into a crack that keeps reappearing doesn’t last. If the floor needs to move there, the grout will crack again. Replacing that line with flexible sealant gives it somewhere to go. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Broad Oak, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Questions from Broad Oak
Will you come out to Broad Oak?
Yes. Broad Oak is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.

Yes, Broad Oak is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
Why not just use caulk?
Only on dry joints that don’t move. Caulk cracks as the floor moves, so the gap comes back. A flexible sealant is the better choice.
How long does the job take?
That depends on how much there is to do, but most jobs take a few hours, depending on the length of joint. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
How long before the joint can take traffic?
You will get the times before we go. That depends on the product, and walking on it generally comes before mopping or wheeled traffic.
Can grout be replaced with sealant on a tiled floor?
Often, yes. Where a floor needs one, we rake out grout along the right line and replace it with flexible sealant. Loose or cracked tiles need a tiler first.
