Floor & skirting joints in Hailsham, East Sussex
Floor joint sealing across Hailsham and nearby, with every bit of old sealant taken out first and a 12-month guarantee.
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
- Tiled floors with no room to move
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
Can I do it myself?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, 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 Hailsham
In commercial and industrial units, concrete floor joints take a hammering from wheels and traffic. Each is resealed with a floor-joint product suited to what runs over it. We work on concrete floor joints, skirting boards and tiled floors, and people most often call us about threshold joints that have opened or worn and dirt and water collecting in open floor joints.
Shops and business units around Hailsham have floors that see a lot of traffic. Threshold and floor joints are best resealed before their edges start breaking away.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

What we do, step by step
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes in most cases. In Hailsham, parking is rarely complicated, though it helps to know about driveways or restrictions, and mention if the work is upstairs, in a flat or high on the outside.
- We look at the gap and the floor type and agree the right sealant.
- 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.
- The joint is tooled to a neat finish and we tell you when it can take feet and a mop.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Move anything stored near the joints

Why it’s worth doing now in Hailsham
An open concrete floor joint gets wider every time something heavy crosses it. Resealing it early protects the edges. Gaps in sealant and mould in the bead never get better on their own, and in a busy home in Hailsham they get worse with every use. Replacing the sealant now is the simplest fix.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we will explain what it covers.

What affects the cost of floor joint sealing
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The size of the job
- The number of rooms or windows
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first and give you a clear quote before we start.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- If someone has resealed it before
- A few photos by email, if you can
Every job is quoted individually. Simply phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and describe the job.
Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Do not paint over silicone
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
- Do not fill floor joints with caulk where they move or get wet
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
In commercial units, keep pallet trucks and heavy wheels off new joints until they’ve cured. Mark the area off so drivers avoid it.
Small gaps are quick to seal. Left alone, they collect dirt and widen.
Hailsham questions
Is floor joint sealing in Hailsham guaranteed?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can you do floor joint sealing in Hailsham?
Yes, Hailsham is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Can you use decorators’ caulk instead?
Caulk works on still, dry joints, but it splits where the joint moves or gets wet. For most floor joints, we use a flexible sealant.
My floor grout keeps cracking in a line. Can you help?
Often, yes, where it suits the floor. The grout is raked out and replaced with a flexible sealant in a colour to suit, giving the floor room to move.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, and for outside work we will agree access with you when we book.
Will I be able to paint over the new joint?
Where you plan to paint, we do. Silicone does not take paint, so tell us your plans.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Signs you need floor joint sealing in Hailsham
New floors settle once they’re in use. The edges pull away from the skirting.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Hailsham Community College, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.

New homes and floors in Hailsham
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.
Rented homes near Polegate station change hands often, and a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as The Parish Church of Saint Mary, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.
