About our floor joint sealing in Founthill
Concrete floors in warehouses and units have joints that take heavy wear. Each is resealed with a floor-joint product suited to what runs over it. We work on thresholds, tiled floors and commercial floors, and people most often call us about grout cracking in a straight line across a floor and failed joint filler in concrete floors.
Work in a small place like Founthill just needs the journey and access planning, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Signs you need floor joint sealing in Founthill
Floors and walls move a little with the seasons. In winter, with the heating on, timber dries and gaps open.
The problems people normally mention when they call are:
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
If you let a flat or house near Uckfield station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
Mop with a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor. Keeping the edges drier helps the sealant last longer.
Sealing a gap while it’s small is a quick job. Left alone, they collect dirt and widen over time.
What happens on the day
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a morning or an afternoon for most homes. Somewhere as small as Founthill, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- The room is cleared along the joints so we can reach them.
- Old material is removed from the joint.
- We clean and dry the edges of the joint.
- A flexible sealant suited to the floor is applied and smooth it.
- Finally, we check the work and talk you through aftercare.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Joints and finishes in Founthill homes
Floors around East Sussex run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and each moves in its own way. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
For buildings such as The Parish Church of St Mary, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Newick Church of England Primary School, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.

Your questions about floor joint sealing in Founthill
I let a flat near Uckfield station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Is Founthill within the area you cover?
Yes, Founthill 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.
Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
Floors shrink and settle, especially in the first year or two and through the heating season opens the gap. Rigid fillers split, so we use a flexible sealant.
Which products do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will explain our choice.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
What does floor joint sealing cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
Surface by surface
Skirting boards
Gaps between skirting and floor open as timber and floors move. We seal them with a flexible sealant rather than caulk painted or coloured to match.
Concrete floor joints
Old filler, dust and debris are cleaned out of the joint. Backing goes in where the depth needs controlling.
