Floor joint sealing in Hastings Old Town
Painted skirting can be sealed with a flexible product that can be painted over. In wet areas we’d normally use silicone because it handles water. We work on concrete floor joints, wet room & bathroom floors and skirting boards, and people most often call us about open joints around bathroom floor edges and open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards.
If you’ve bought a new home in or near Hastings Old Town, the first year or two is a good time to check the sealant. Gaps at skirtings, shower seals pulling away and missing mastic around frames are common snags.
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee.

Signs you need floor joint sealing in Hastings Old Town
Grout is rigid, so a tiled floor with nowhere to move cracks along a grout line. Cracks often run straight along a line of joints, where a flexible joint should have been.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Tiled floors with no room to move
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
- Failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels
If you look after a building such as Ark Castledown Primary Academy, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.
What your quote should include
- How long the guarantee is
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Are they insured?
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are

What else we do in Hastings Old Town
DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.

What does floor joint sealing cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You’ll get a clear quote before we start.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
What causes gaps between the floor and skirting?
Generally it’s movement: timber drying in winter, floors settling, or caulk that can’t stretch. A flexible bead keeps up with the movement.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Just list everything you need and you’ll get one quote.
Can you reseal concrete floor joints in an industrial unit?
Yes. Concrete floor joints in warehouses and units are part of our work. The product is chosen for the traffic the floor takes.

Related advice
What floor joint sealing looks like in Hastings Old Town
Across East Sussex, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and each moves in its own way. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Clement, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. If you let a flat or house near Hastings station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.

What the job involves on each surface
Wet room and bathroom floors
Mop water gets into any open joint at the edge of a bathroom floor. A flexible seal stops water running into the gap.
Concrete floor joints
Concrete floors have sawn or formed joints to control cracking. They’re resealed with a product chosen for what runs over them.
Why deal with it now?
Not every floor joint takes the same sealant: skirting and tiled floors need flexibility, wet areas need water resistance and concrete needs a product suited to wheels. Getting that choice wrong is a common reason joints fail. Homes in smaller places like Hastings Old Town can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.
