Floor joint sealing in Hankham, done properly
Every floor moves a little, so its edges need a joint that can flex. We seal skirting gaps, tiled floor movement joints and concrete floor joints. We are often asked to deal with gaps at thresholds between rooms and tiled floors with no room to move, across skirting boards, thresholds and concrete floor joints.
Older homes in small places like Hankham 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 one-year guarantee, wherever you are in East Sussex.

Landlord and commercial work in Hankham
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. Several properties can be quoted together.
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Can I do it myself?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Do you need floor joint sealing in Hankham?
Some floors were never given a perimeter gap or movement joint. As it expands, the edges lift or crack.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
Community buildings like St Luke's Church are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

Leave it or put it right?
Water that gets past a floor joint can damage the floor beneath. Dealing with it early keeps the repair to the joint. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Hankham, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs. Call for a quick quote and we will explain what it covers.

What floor joint sealing looks like in Hankham
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.
If you let a flat or house near Pevensey & Westham station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty. If you look after a building such as Hankham Primary School, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
Keep heavy furniture from dragging across the joints. Sharp edges can cut the sealant.
In wet areas, an open floor joint lets water reach the subfloor. A sound seal stops that happening.
