How we handle floor joint sealing in Hadlow Down
Where skirting is painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. For bathrooms and kitchens, silicone is normally the better choice, which isn’t made to be painted. Common call-outs are for rigid edge joints in tiled floors and cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint, across commercial floors, skirting boards and tiled floors.
Older homes in small places like Hadlow Down often have timber floors that move with the seasons, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
All our work is covered by a 12-month guarantee.

The process
There is not much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The job generally takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes. In a small place like Hadlow Down, access is usually the main thing to plan. 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.
- The joint is cleaned, vacuumed and backed where depth needs controlling.
- The sealant goes in, chosen for the floor and coloured to suit it.
- We tool the joint neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Floor joint sealing around Hadlow Down
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 St Mark's Church, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Mark's Church of England Primary School, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up. If you let a flat or house near Buxted station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.

Can I do it myself?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
- Do not fill floor joints with caulk where they move or get wet
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
Do not paint over silicone. If the joint will be painted, tell us beforehand so we use a paintable sealant.
Concrete joints damaged by traffic get worse quickly. Sealing them early protects the edges.
Why act early in Hadlow Down
Floor joints left open collect dirt that is hard to clean out and makes the floor look worn. A neat sealed joint is easier to clean. Older cottages and farmhouses around Hadlow Down can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first and give you a clear price before we start.

How the job changes by surface
Skirting boards
If the skirting is painted, a paintable flexible sealant works well. Where water is involved, silicone is the better choice.
Commercial floors
In commercial buildings, we can plan floor joint work around opening hours. We can arrange out-of-hours work if the floor is busy.
Common questions in Hadlow Down
Do you cover Hadlow Down for floor joint sealing?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Hadlow Down is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Do you cover smaller places like Hadlow Down?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you seal where the floor meets the bath panel?
Yes. The old joint comes out and a flexible silicone replaces it.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, we can. More than one area can be quoted together.
What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will explain our choice.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Does someone need to be in?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
