Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Duddleswell
Tiled floors can crack along the grout when there’s no room for movement. Where one is needed, we rake out the grout along the right line and replace it with flexible sealant coloured to suit the grout. We work on tiled floors, concrete floor joints and skirting boards, and common reasons people get in touch are caulk that has cracked where the floor moves and grout cracking in a straight line across a floor.
In a village or hamlet like Duddleswell, 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.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

How it works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we don’t rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it normally takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. In a small place like Duddleswell, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by looking at the floor, the gap and the traffic, then choose the product.
- 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.
How to prepare
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Look at floor joints each spring
- Do not paint over silicone
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
Follow the cure time before walking on or cleaning the joint. Feet are generally fine before mopping or wheeled traffic.
Small gaps are quick to seal. Left alone, they collect dirt and widen and are harder to clean out.
Why deal with it now?
Regrouting a cracked line in a tiled floor rarely fixes it. If the floor needs to move there, the grout will crack again. A flexible movement joint is the fix. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Duddleswell, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Combining jobs into one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

Duddleswell questions
Do you cover Duddleswell for floor joint sealing?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Duddleswell is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing.
I let a flat near Buxted station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Can you seal where the floor meets the bath panel?
Yes. We cut out any old sealant or caulk and reseal with flexible silicone, colour-matched where it shows.
When can I walk on the floor?
It depends on the product and the conditions. Before we leave, we tell you when it can be walked on, mopped and driven over so you can plan.
How do I get a quote for floor joint sealing in Duddleswell?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
Which products do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will explain our choice.
Why not just use caulk?
Not where the floor moves or gets wet. It splits once the floor shifts and the gap reopens. A flexible sealant lasts longer there.
How long does floor joint sealing take?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we will say how long yours will take.
New homes and floors in Duddleswell
Across East Sussex, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they do not all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
