Floor joint sealing in Burlow
Large tiled floors, and those over underfloor heating, often need movement joints. We can turn a line of grout into a movement joint by replacing it with flexible sealant coloured to suit the grout. If you have skirting that has pulled away from the floor and tiled floors with no room to move, we can put it right, on wet room & bathroom floors, tiled floors and concrete floor joints alike.
Older homes in small places like Burlow often have timber floors that move with the seasons, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not paint over silicone
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
Mop with a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor. Keeping the edges drier helps the sealant last longer.
In wet areas, an open floor joint lets water reach the subfloor. A sound seal stops that happening.
Honest limits
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Bouncy or failing floorboards
- Leaks from a failed tanking system
- Structural movement or subsidence
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.

Floor joint sealing in Burlow: local notes
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 Christ Church, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

What happens if it’s left?
Filling a skirting gap with caulk looks fine at first, but the movement soon cracks it. A flexible sealant stretches instead. Older cottages and farmhouses around Burlow can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before we start, so you know where you stand.

Questions from Burlow
Do you cover Burlow for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Burlow is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Is floor joint sealing in Burlow guaranteed?
All our work, in Burlow and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
How long does floor joint sealing take?
Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon for most homes, including the preparation. We will confirm how long when we quote.
Why not just use caulk?
Caulk works on still, dry joints, but it splits where the joint moves or gets wet. For most floor joints, we use a flexible sealant.
Can grout be replaced with sealant on a tiled floor?
Often, yes, where it suits the floor. The grout is raked out and replaced with a flexible sealant in a colour to suit so the floor can move.
Do I have to be there?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that normally means someone at home.
Will it make a mess?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
How much does floor joint sealing cost in Burlow?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Call for a quick quote.
Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
