How we handle floor joint sealing in Elsted Marsh
Wet-area floor joints keep water out of the gap behind skirting and plinths. A flexible silicone seal keeps it out. If you are dealing with failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels and caulk that has cracked where the floor moves, we can help, on wet room & bathroom floors, skirting boards and tiled floors alike.
In a village or hamlet like Elsted Marsh, 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.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Elsted Marsh questions
Is there a guarantee on floor joint sealing in Elsted Marsh?
All our work, in Elsted Marsh and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Do you cover Elsted Marsh for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Elsted Marsh is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing.
Will I be able to paint over the new joint?
It depends on the sealant, so let us know first. We use a paintable flexible sealant on joints you plan to paint, and silicone elsewhere.
Can you match the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits. The product needed can limit the range.
Will there be a smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.
Where are you based?
Our base is Crawley. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Do you seal kitchen plinths to the floor?
Yes. We cut out any old sealant or caulk and reseal with flexible silicone, colour-matched where it shows.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
The process
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before we start. The work generally takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. For a village or hamlet like Elsted Marsh, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We start by checking the floor, the joint and what traffic it takes.
- We remove what’s in the joint now.
- We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.
- The chosen sealant goes in, coloured to suit the floor.
- The joint is tooled neatly and the cure time explained.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Can I do it myself?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Different surfaces, different methods
Tiled floors
A crack running along a grout line is often a sign of a missing movement joint. We rake out that line and seal it if it’s in the right place.
Wet room and bathroom floors
Mop water gets into any open joint at the edge of a bathroom floor. A neat silicone joint keeps it out.

What we’re called out for in Elsted Marsh
A floor laid tight to the walls has no room to move. As it expands, the edges lift or crack, and the sealant or grout breaks.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Tiled floors with no room to move
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
For buildings such as St George's Church, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
- Do not paint over silicone
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
Follow the cure time before walking on or cleaning the joint. Feet are generally fine before mopping or wheeled traffic.
Cracks along tile grout lines come back unless the movement is dealt with. Adding a movement joint early can stop cracks spreading to the tiles.
