Floor joint sealing in Chailey
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. If you are dealing with skirting that has pulled away from the floor and dirt and water collecting in open floor joints, we can help, on concrete floor joints, wet room & bathroom floors and commercial floors alike.
In a village or hamlet like Chailey, 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.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard.

Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Do not fill floor joints with caulk where they move or get wet
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
Silicone sealant is not made to take paint. If you plan to paint, we’ll use a paintable product.
Sealing a gap while it’s small is a quick job. Ignored, they fill with dirt and open further over time.
What we cannot put right
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’ll tell you before work begins. Sealant will not put right:
- Floors that are uneven or need levelling
- Concrete repairs beyond the joint
- Failed waterproofing under a wet room floor
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Wet room & bathroom floors
- Thresholds
- Commercial floors
- Tiled floors
- Skirting boards
- Concrete floor joints
What we’re called out for in Chailey
New floors settle once they’re in use. Gaps at the edges appear in the first year or so.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
- Open joints that fill with dirt
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
Schools such as Chailey St Peter's Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.

What happens if it’s left?
Open joints along wet floors let water into the subfloor and behind skirting. Dealing with it early keeps the repair to the joint. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Chailey, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.

What floor joint sealing looks like in Chailey
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.
For buildings such as The Parish Church of St Peter, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. Letting a property close to Plumpton station? Then open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.
