Common problems we fix in High Cross
Water and dirt collect in open floor joints. In kitchens and bathrooms, mop water gets into the gap and can reach the subfloor.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as The Parish Church of St Denys, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

Floor joint sealing in High Cross
In kitchens and bathrooms, the joint where the floor meets a bath panel, plinth or skirting takes mop water every day. A flexible silicone seal keeps it out so water and dirt cannot get in. If you’re dealing with gaps between floors and kitchen plinths and concrete floor joints that have broken down, we can help, whatever the surface.
For a small place like High Cross, the journey and access are planned in advance, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

New homes and floors in High Cross
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. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
Rented homes near Crowborough station change hands often, and gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies. Schools such as Rotherfield Primary School are buildings too, and floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.

What else we do in High Cross
Leave it or put it right?
Caulk is quick and cheap, but it cracks where the joint moves or gets wet, so the gap reappears. A flexible sealant moves with the floor and keeps the joint sealed. In a small place like High Cross, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.

Common questions in High Cross
Do you cover High Cross for floor joint sealing?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and High Cross is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Do you cover smaller places like High Cross?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do the sealants smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Do I have to be there?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.
Can you add a movement joint to a tiled floor?
Often, yes, at the edges and along suitable lines. The grout is raked out and replaced with a flexible sealant in a colour to suit, giving the floor room to move.
How soon can the floor be mopped?
We will tell you before we leave. It depends on the sealant, and walking on it generally comes before mopping or wheeled traffic.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, because it fails. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.

Advice
How we quote for floor joint sealing
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Access and height
- The number and length of the joints
Doing several joints on one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We’ll send you a clear quote for the lot.
What we need to know
To make quoting easier, please include:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- What’s wrong with the joints now
We do not publish a price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, we give you a clear quote for your job. To get started, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
In commercial units, keep pallet trucks and heavy wheels off new joints until they’ve cured. Mark the area off so drivers avoid it.
Concrete joints damaged by traffic get worse quickly. Early resealing helps keep the joint intact and the floor safer.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
