Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Friston
A threshold joint has to cope with feet, movement and sometimes water. We seal them with a flexible sealant suited to the floor finishes either side in a colour to suit. Common call-outs are for threshold joints that have opened or worn and gaps opening between the floor and skirting, on concrete floor joints, wet room & bathroom floors and thresholds.
If you’ve bought a new home in or near Friston, the first year or two is a good time to check the sealant. Gaps at skirtings, shower seals pulling away and missing mastic around frames are common snags.
All our work comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in East Sussex.

Common problems we fix in Friston
Concrete floor joints break down when traffic runs over open or failed joints. Hard wheels damage the joint edges.
The most common problems we see are:
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
- Chipped and open joints in warehouse floors
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
For landlords with property near Eastbourne station, a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant.

What affects the quote in Friston
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- The number and length of the joints
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Which sealant suits the joint
- How easy the joints are to reach
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear price before any work starts.
What we need to know
When you call or email, these details help:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- The problem you’ve noticed
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job. Whenever you are ready, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
Avoid flooding the floor when you clean. Keeping the edges drier helps the sealant last longer.
Small gaps are quick to seal. Ignored, they fill with dirt and open further and are harder to clean out.

Leave it or put it right?
Waiting until the next redecoration can mean a winter of draughts and dirt in the gaps. Sealing them now is a short job for most homes. In a smaller place like Friston, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.

What the job involves on each surface
Concrete floor joints
Open concrete joints chip at the edges when wheels cross them. Sealing them supports the edges and keeps dirt out.
Wet room and bathroom floors
Wet room floors rely on sound joints at the walls. We reseal it with a flexible silicone suited to wet areas.
For landlords and businesses
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.

Can you help a landlord with a rental near Eastbourne station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Can you seal where the floor meets the bath panel?
Yes. Where a floor meets a bath panel, kitchen plinth or skirting in a wet area, we use a flexible silicone to keep mop water out.
Should I try DIY first?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
How long does the job take?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours, depending on the length of joint. Bigger jobs take longer, and we will say how long yours will take.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.
Do I need to be at home?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Why has a gap opened under my skirting?
Floors shrink and settle, especially in the first year or two and through the heating season. Rigid fillers split, so we use a flexible sealant.
Floor joint sealing in Friston: local notes
Floors around East Sussex run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they don’t all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
For buildings such as The Parish Church of St Simon and St Jude, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.
