Cock Marling questions
Can you do floor joint sealing in Cock Marling?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Cock Marling is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.
I let a flat near Winchelsea station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we will agree access with you when we book.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Where are you based?
We are a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Can you use decorators’ caulk instead?
Only on dry joints that do not move. Caulk cracks as the floor moves and the gap reopens. A flexible sealant lasts longer there.
Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Cock Marling
Across Cock Marling, we seal floor and skirting joints in homes and businesses. We start by checking the floor type and the joint, since that decides which sealant suits. If you are dealing with grout cracking in a straight line across a floor and rigid edge joints in tiled floors, we can help, on wet room & bathroom floors, commercial floors and concrete floor joints alike.
Around Cock Marling, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
What floor joint sealing looks like in Cock Marling
Floors around East Sussex run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they don’t all move the same way. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
If you let a flat or house near Winchelsea station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty. Around Cock Marling, as everywhere, floor joint sealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.

For landlords and businesses
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
- Don’t slide heavy items over sealed joints
Keep heavy furniture from dragging across the joints. Dragging can tear the bead before it has fully cured.
A tiled floor that cracks along a line will keep cracking until it can move. Adding a movement joint early can stop cracks spreading to the tiles.
Why act early in Cock Marling
Open joints along wet floors let water into the subfloor and behind skirting. Dealing with it early keeps the repair to the joint. Around Cock Marling, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.

Different surfaces, different methods
Wet room and bathroom floors
Bathroom floors meet baths, trays, panels and skirting. We seal them with anti-fungal sanitary silicone that keeps water out.
Tiled floors
Large or heated tiled floors need room to move. We replace grout with flexible sealant along the right lines coloured to suit.

How it works
Once we are on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint. Somewhere as small as Cock Marling, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We look at the gap and the floor type and agree the right sealant.
- Old caulk, grout or sealant is removed from the joint.
- We clean and vacuum the joint and fit backing where the depth needs setting.
- A flexible sealant, or a floor-joint sealant for concrete, is applied in a colour to suit.
- The joint is tooled to a neat finish and we tell you when it can take feet and a mop.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
