How it works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint. For a village or hamlet like Eastergate, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
- Any old caulk, grout or sealant is raked or cut out.
- The joint is vacuumed clean and backing fitted where needed.
- The chosen sealant goes in, coloured to suit the floor.
- We tool it neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
How to prepare
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

How we handle floor joint sealing in Eastergate
Across Eastergate, we seal floor and skirting joints in homes and businesses. We start by checking the floor type and the joint, because the right sealant depends on both. If you have open joints that fill with dirt and gaps at thresholds between rooms, we can help, whatever the surface.
In a village or hamlet like Eastergate, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

New homes and floors in Eastergate
Across West Sussex, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and each moves in its own way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
Managing a site like Eastergate CofE Primary School? Then entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic. Letting a property close to Barnham station? Then open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.

How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Keep dirt out of the joints
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
In commercial units, keep pallet trucks and heavy wheels off new joints until they’ve cured. Mark the area off so drivers avoid it while it cures.
A gap under the skirting collects dust and lets draughts through. Sealing it keeps the room tidier and the edges sound.
Leave it or put it right?
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. Older cottages and farmhouses around Eastergate can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

What else we do in Eastergate
Signs you need floor joint sealing in Eastergate
Timber floors and skirting shrink and swell through the year. In winter, with the heating on, timber dries and gaps open.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
For buildings such as St George's Church, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

What does floor joint sealing cost?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. For a quick quote, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a short description of the job.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access.
My floor grout keeps cracking in a line. Can you help?
Often, yes, at the edges and along suitable lines. We remove the grout and seal the line with flexible sealant.
How long before the joint can take traffic?
We’ll tell you before we leave. That depends on the product, and light foot traffic is generally fine before wet cleaning or wheels.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
When something else is needed
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:
- Bouncy or failing floorboards
- Movement too big for a sealant joint
- Water getting under the tiles from elsewhere
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
