Floor joint sealing in Cross in Hand
In commercial and industrial units, concrete floor joints take a hammering from wheels and traffic. Each is resealed with a floor-joint product suited to what runs over it. We work on skirting boards, tiled floors and wet room & bathroom floors, and people most often call us about worn sealant at door thresholds and rigid edge joints in tiled floors.
Older homes in small places like Cross in Hand 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.

Is caulk good enough for skirting?
Caulk can’t cope with movement or water. Skirting joints move with the floor, so we use a flexible sealant that stretches.
My floor grout keeps cracking in a line. Can you help?
Normally, yes. A crack along a grout line often means the floor needs room to move. We rake out that line and seal it with flexible sealant.

Why it’s worth doing now in Cross in Hand
Left open, concrete joints break down under traffic. A sealed joint supports the edges. Older cottages and farmhouses around Cross in Hand can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Joints and finishes in Cross in Hand homes
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.
Community buildings like St Bartholomew are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. Managing a site like Cross-in-Hand Church of England Primary School? Then floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
- Keep dirt out of the joints
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
Keep heavy traffic off resealed concrete joints for the cure time we give you. Cone off the area if needed while it cures.
Small gaps are quick to seal. Left alone, they collect dirt and widen over time.
How the job changes by surface
Tiled floors
Tiled floors need movement joints at edges and across large areas. Where needed, a line of grout is replaced with flexible sealant coloured to suit.
Concrete floor joints
We clean concrete joints out thoroughly before sealing. We fit backing where needed.
