Floor joint sealing in Gill's Green
Floors move, and the joint where they meet a wall, skirting, threshold or another floor has to move with them. We seal skirting gaps, tiled floor movement joints and concrete floor joints. We work on wet room & bathroom floors, tiled floors and commercial floors, and people most often call us about caulk that has cracked where the floor moves and concrete floor joints that have broken down.
Somewhere as small as Gill's Green, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Gill's Green and everywhere else we cover.

What happens on the day
We bring everything the job needs with us. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint. Somewhere like Gill's Green needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
- 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.
- We tool it neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.

What else we do in Gill's Green
Surface by surface
Skirting boards
Gaps between skirting and floor open as timber and floors move. A flexible sealant closes the gap without cracking painted or coloured to match.
Thresholds
Thresholds between rooms meet two floors and often a door frame. We seal them with a flexible sealant that suits both sides.

What affects the quote in Gill's Green
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- How many areas need sealing
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- How easy the joints are to reach
Instead of a standard rate, 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 we need to know
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Roughly how big the job is
- If someone has resealed it before
- Whether it’s a home or a business
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or send an email if you’d rather. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we will explain what’s involved and send you a clear quote.
When to call us in Gill's Green
Grout is rigid, so a tiled floor with nowhere to move cracks along a grout line. You will see a crack running along the grout, showing where a movement joint was needed.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
Schools such as Marlborough House School are buildings too, and entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they’re fully insured
- What guarantee comes with the work
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
- Do not slide heavy items over sealed joints
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
Avoid flooding the floor when you clean. Keeping the edges drier helps the sealant last longer.
Small gaps are quick to seal. Left alone, they collect dirt and widen and are harder to clean out.
Questions from Gill's Green
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Etchingham station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Will you come out to Gill's Green?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Will there be a smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
What should I tell you?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few photos.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Can you add a movement joint to a tiled floor?
Often, yes, where it suits the floor. The grout is raked out and replaced with a flexible sealant in a colour to suit so the floor can move.
Why has a gap opened under my skirting?
Generally it’s movement: heating drying the timber, or a filler that is too rigid. A flexible bead keeps up with the movement.
Where are you based?
We’re based in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
New homes and floors in Gill's Green
Floors around Kent run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they don’t all move the same way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
If you let a flat or house near Etchingham station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies. For buildings such as Church of All Saints, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

Leave it or put it right?
Caulk is quick and cheap, but it cracks where the joint moves or gets wet, so the gap reappears. A flexible sealant moves with the floor, so the joint stays closed. Older cottages and farmhouses around Gill's Green can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
