DIY versus a professional finish
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Floor joint sealing in Golden Cross, done properly
Every floor moves a little, so its edges need a joint that can flex. Skirting-to-floor gaps, tiled floor joints and concrete joints are all sealed with a sealant suited to the movement and traffic. Common call-outs are for cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens and threshold joints that have opened or worn, across tiled floors, commercial floors and concrete floor joints.
For a small place like Golden Cross, the journey and access are planned in advance, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after we’ve gone.

When to call us in Golden Cross
Decorators’ caulk is often used along skirting because it’s cheap and paintable. It cracks where there’s movement or water.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
- Failed joint filler in concrete floors
- Tiled floors with no room to move
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant

Honest limits
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’ll tell you before work begins. Sealant won’t put right:
- Large cracks that need a surveyor
- Loose, hollow or cracked tiles, which need a tiler
- Failed waterproofing under a wet room floor
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What floor joint sealing looks like in Golden Cross
Across East Sussex, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they do not all move the same way. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
Schools such as Herstmonceux Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

How the job changes by surface
Skirting boards
If the skirting is painted, a paintable flexible sealant works well. In wet rooms and kitchens, silicone is usually better.
Thresholds
A threshold is where floors and frames meet. We seal them with a flexible sealant that suits both sides.

How the visit works
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. Somewhere as small as Golden Cross, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we check the joint and the floor and agree which sealant suits it.
- We take out any old caulk, sealant or grout along the line.
- The joint is cleaned, vacuumed and backed where depth needs controlling.
- We apply a flexible sealant, or a floor-joint product on concrete, in a suitable colour.
- We tool the joint neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
How to prepare
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
