How we handle floor joint sealing in Down Street
Every floor moves a little, so its edges need a joint that can flex. We seal skirting gaps, tiled floor movement joints and concrete floor joints with a sealant suited to the movement and traffic. If you have skirting that has pulled away from the floor and cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint, we can help.
For a small place like Down Street, the journey and access are planned in advance, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
All our work comes with a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in East Sussex.

Floor joint sealing around Down Street
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 is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
For buildings such as The Parish Church of St Andrew and St Mary, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. Letting a property close to Uckfield station? Then gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Fletching Church of England Primary School, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

From the centre of Down Street to the outskirts, floor joint sealing is available for homes and businesses alike, from flats and houses to offices and hotels.

Questions from Down Street
Can you do floor joint sealing in Down Street?
Yes, Down Street is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Will you come out to Down Street?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Which products do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We will tell you what we’re using and why.
How long before the joint can take traffic?
Follow the cure time we give you. Feet are usually fine first, then mopping, then heavy wheels, depending on the product.
Do you work on commercial floors?
Yes, including warehouses, units, shops and offices. Work can be planned around your hours.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available for many products, and we’ll agree it with you first.
How long does the job take?
Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the length of joint, including preparation and clearing up. We will confirm how long when we quote.
My floor grout keeps cracking in a line. Can you help?
Often, yes, at the edges and along suitable lines. The grout is raked out and replaced with a flexible sealant in a colour to suit.
Should I try it myself first?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
What we cannot put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Bouncy or failing floorboards
- A tiled floor that needs relaying
- Structural movement or subsidence
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Concrete floor joints
- Tiled floors
- Commercial floors
- Wet room & bathroom floors
- Skirting boards
- Thresholds
Why it’s worth doing now in Down Street
Floor joints left open collect dirt that’s hard to clean out and makes the floor look worn. A neat sealed joint is easier to clean. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Down Street, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Doing several joints on one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
