Floor joint sealing in Burgh Hill, done properly
Gaps along the bottom of skirting are common in new and older homes alike. Decorators’ caulk generally cracks where there’s movement, so we close it with a flexible sealant instead. Typical jobs include chipped and open joints in warehouse floors and grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant, across skirting boards, tiled floors and thresholds.
Somewhere as small as Burgh Hill, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Burgh Hill and across East Sussex.

Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Look at floor joints each spring
- Do not fill floor joints with caulk where they move or get wet
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
- Do not paint over silicone
Follow the cure time before walking on or cleaning the joint. Light foot traffic is usually fine sooner than wet cleaning or wheels.
A gap under the skirting collects dust and lets draughts through. Sealing it keeps the room tidier.
Why deal with it now?
Open joints along wet floors let water into the subfloor and behind skirting. Dealing with it early keeps the repair to the joint. In a small place like Burgh Hill, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

New homes and floors in Burgh Hill
Across East Sussex, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and each moves in its own way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Etchingham Church of England Primary School, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early. Rented homes near Etchingham station change hands often, and a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant.

Can you match the sealant colour?

Different surfaces, different methods
Skirting boards
Gaps between skirting and floor open as timber and floors move. A flexible sealant closes the gap without cracking in a colour to suit.
Tiled floors
A crack running along a grout line is often a sign of a missing movement joint. That line is converted to a flexible joint.
The process
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint and we leave things clean and tidy. For a village or hamlet like Burgh Hill, 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.

Advice
Common problems we fix in Burgh Hill
When a tiled floor has no movement joints, the grout takes the strain. You’ll see a crack running along the grout, showing where a movement joint was needed.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Holy Trinity, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.
Questions to ask before you book
- Is VAT in the price?
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- How long the guarantee is
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
