How the visit works
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The work itself takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors, including the tidy-up. In a small place like Hollingrove, 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.
- We remove what’s in the joint now.
- We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.
- The chosen sealant goes in, coloured to suit the floor.
- The joint is tooled neatly and the cure time explained.
Preparing for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Advice
Floor joint sealing in Hollingrove
Painted skirting can be sealed with a flexible product that can be painted over. For bathrooms and kitchens, silicone is generally the better choice. Common call-outs are for skirting that has pulled away from the floor and skirting caulk that keeps splitting, on wet room & bathroom floors, tiled floors and thresholds.
Older homes in small places like Hollingrove often have timber floors that move with the seasons, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Hollingrove and across East Sussex.

When to call us in Hollingrove
Timber floors and skirting shrink and swell through the year. Heating dries timber and opens gaps along the skirting and they change again in summer.
The problems people usually mention when they call include:
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
If you let a flat or house near Robertsbridge station, a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether VAT is included
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Who turns up on the day
- How long to leave it before use
Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Floor joint sealing around Hollingrove
Floors around East Sussex run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and 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 The Parish Church of St Thomas A Becket, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
In commercial units, keep pallet trucks and heavy wheels off new joints until they’ve cured. Cone off the area if needed.
Once concrete joint edges start to break, wheels make it worse. Early resealing helps keep the joint intact and the floor safer.
Why it’s worth doing now in Hollingrove
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. Using the wrong one is why many floor joints fail. In a small place like Hollingrove, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.

Hollingrove: your questions answered
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Robertsbridge station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Hollingrove?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available, and we’ll agree it with you first.
Why not just use caulk?
Not where the floor moves or gets wet. Caulk cracks as the floor moves. A flexible sealant lasts longer there.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
How long does floor joint sealing take?
That depends on the amount of work, but as a guide it takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
