About our floor joint sealing in Hangleton
Painted skirting can be sealed with a flexible product that can be painted over. In wet areas we’d normally use silicone, which isn’t made to be painted. Common call-outs are for rigid edge joints in tiled floors and gaps opening between the floor and skirting, on concrete floor joints, commercial floors and thresholds.
Around Hangleton, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

Do you need floor joint sealing in Hangleton?
When a tiled floor has no movement joints, the grout takes the strain. You will see a crack running along the grout, showing where a movement joint was needed.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
Schools such as Ferring CofE Primary School are buildings too, and floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.

What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you. The work normally takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint, depending on how much there is to do. For a village or hamlet like Hangleton, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We start by looking at the floor, the gap and the traffic, then choose the product.
- Whatever is in the joint now, whether caulk, grout or sealant, comes out.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Related advice
Hangleton: your questions answered
Will you come out to Hangleton?
Yes. Hangleton is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Goring-By-Sea station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can ring 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.
Why not just use caulk?
Not where the floor moves or gets wet. It splits once the floor shifts. A flexible sealant lasts longer there.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Normally, yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours for many products, and we will agree it with you first.
Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
It’s normally the floor moving: timber drying in winter, floors settling, or caulk that cannot stretch. A flexible sealant stays closed as the floor moves.
Can grout be replaced with sealant on a tiled floor?
Often, yes, where it suits the floor. We remove the grout and seal the line with flexible sealant.
Should I try DIY first?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Do you use a paintable sealant?
On joints you want to paint, yes. Silicone in bathrooms and kitchens cannot be painted, so tell us your plans.

Why deal with it now?
The right product depends on the floor and the traffic: flexible sealant for skirting and tiles, silicone in wet areas, and floor-joint products for concrete. Getting that choice wrong is a common reason joints fail. Older cottages and farmhouses around Hangleton can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.

Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
- Don’t slide heavy items over sealed joints
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
Lift furniture rather than sliding it over sealed joints. Sharp edges can cut the sealant especially in the first few days.
Small gaps are quick to seal. Left alone, they collect dirt and widen.
