Herstmonceux Floor Joint Sealing
Floor joint sealing across Herstmonceux and nearby, with old sealant always removed completely and a one-year guarantee.
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
- Failed joint filler in concrete floors
When something else is needed
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Movement too big for a sealant joint
- Cracked or broken concrete slabs
- Floors that are uneven or need levelling
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Where we work in Herstmonceux
- Concrete floor joints
- Thresholds
- Skirting boards
- Wet room & bathroom floors
- Commercial floors
- Tiled floors
Floor joint sealing in Herstmonceux
The gap under a skirting board often opens as floors and walls move with the seasons. Decorators’ caulk normally cracks where there’s movement, so we use a flexible sealant that moves with the floor. If you are dealing with rigid edge joints in tiled floors and open joints around bathroom floor edges, we can help, whatever the surface.
Older homes in small places like Herstmonceux often have timber floors that move with the seasons, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Herstmonceux: your questions answered
Is Herstmonceux in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Herstmonceux 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.
Is floor joint sealing in Herstmonceux guaranteed?
All our work, in Herstmonceux and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
What should I tell you?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
My floor grout keeps cracking in a line. Can you help?
In many cases, yes. We replace the grout along a suitable line with flexible sealant. If tiles are loose, that needs fixing first.
Do you seal kitchen plinths to the floor?
Yes. The old joint comes out and a flexible silicone replaces it.
What does floor joint sealing cost?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing and where.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
What causes gaps between the floor and skirting?
Timber floors and skirting shrink and swell through the year. A flexible sealant closes the gap without cracking like caulk.
How the job changes by surface
Concrete floor joints
Old filler, dust and debris are cleaned out of the joint. Backing goes in where the depth needs controlling.
Wet room and bathroom floors
Mop water gets into any open joint at the edge of a bathroom floor. A neat silicone joint keeps it out.
What affects the cost of floor joint sealing
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- How many areas need sealing
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How much there is to do
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. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
Helping us quote
To make quoting easier, please include:
- If someone has resealed it before
- The type of property

DIY versus a professional finish
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 fails, we can still redo it.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.

From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.

What we are called out for in Herstmonceux
Timber floors and skirting shrink and swell through the year. In winter, with the heating on, timber dries and gaps open.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
Around Herstmonceux, as everywhere, floor joint sealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.

How the visit works
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint in most cases. In a small place like Herstmonceux, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
- Any old caulk, grout or sealant is raked or cut out.
- The joint is vacuumed clean and backing fitted where needed.
- The chosen sealant goes in, coloured to suit the floor.
- The joint is tooled neatly and the cure time explained.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
