Floor joint sealing in Horney Common, done properly
Where skirting is painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. In wet areas we’d normally use silicone, which is not made to be painted. Common call-outs are for gaps at thresholds between rooms and open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards, on tiled floors, wet room & bathroom floors and skirting boards.
Around Horney Common, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Horney Common as everywhere else we work.

Why act early in Horney Common
Floor joints left open collect dirt that’s hard to clean out, and they look untidy. Sealed joints are easier to keep clean and look tidier. Older cottages and farmhouses around Horney Common can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first and give you a clear quote before any work starts.

Common problems we fix in Horney Common
Wheels crossing an unfilled concrete joint chip its edges. Hard wheels damage the joint edges.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
- Failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
Community buildings like Christ Church are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

Common questions in Horney Common
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Buxted station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Horney Common?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you add a movement joint to a tiled floor?
Often, yes. We replace the grout along a suitable line with flexible sealant. Loose or cracked tiles need a tiler first.
Do you seal kitchen plinths to the floor?
Yes. We cut out any old sealant or caulk and reseal with flexible silicone.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done.
Which products do you use?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Will there be a smell?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures.

Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Don’t fill floor joints with caulk where they move or get wet
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
- 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 while it cures.
In wet areas, an open floor joint lets water reach the subfloor. Resealing early keeps it out.
