Problem with your floor joints in Five Ash Down? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, and the work is guaranteed for a year.

How we handle floor joint sealing in Five Ash Down
Thresholds are where two floors, or a floor and a door, meet. We seal them with a flexible sealant suited to the floor finishes either side. Common call-outs are for worn sealant at door thresholds and floor edges that trap water and grime, on skirting boards, concrete floor joints and thresholds.
Older homes in small places like Five Ash Down often have timber floors that move with the seasons, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

FAQs for Five Ash Down
Do you work for landlords with property near Buxted station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Five Ash Down?
Yes, Five Ash Down is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, we can. More than one area can be quoted together.
Do you use a paintable sealant?
It depends on the sealant, so let us know first. Joints that will be painted get a paintable product, and silicone elsewhere.
How long will you be here?
Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the length of joint. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes. Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee.
What sealant work can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Failed waterproofing under a wet room floor
- Damaged concrete that needs breaking out and repairing
- Subfloor problems that need a flooring contractor
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Commercial floors
- Skirting boards
- Concrete floor joints
- Wet room & bathroom floors
- Tiled floors
- Thresholds
What happens if it’s left?
Floor joints left open collect dirt that’s hard to clean out and makes the floor look worn. Sealed joints are easier to keep clean. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Five Ash Down, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will talk you through it.

Common problems we fix in Five Ash Down
When a tiled floor has no movement joints, the grout takes the strain. You will see a crack running along the grout, where a flexible joint should have been.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
- Tiled floors with no room to move
Community buildings like Five Ash Down Independent Chapel are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Buxted CofE Primary School, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic. Rented homes near Buxted station change hands often, and open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.

How the visit works
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The work itself takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors, including the tidy-up. Somewhere as small as Five Ash Down, access is often the only tricky part. 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.
- Finally we tool it smooth and explain when the floor can be used and cleaned.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
