What affects the cost of floor joint sealing
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Access and height
- Any mould that needs treating
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Icklesham
The gap under a skirting board often opens as floors and walls move with the seasons. Caulk tends to crack there, so we close it with a flexible sealant instead. Typical jobs include threshold joints that have opened or worn and dirt and water collecting in open floor joints, across wet room & bathroom floors, tiled floors and skirting boards.
Work in a small place like Icklesham just needs the journey and access planning, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
- Do not slide heavy items over sealed joints
Follow the cure time before walking on or cleaning the joint. Light foot traffic is usually fine sooner than wet cleaning or wheels so we’ll give you each time.
Open skirting gaps let in draughts, dust and sometimes insects. Sealing it keeps the room tidier and stops it getting worse.
Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
The process
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes from start to finish. Somewhere as small as Icklesham, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- The room is cleared along the joints so we can reach them.
- Old material is removed from the joint.
- We clean and dry the edges of the joint.
- We apply a flexible sealant suited to the floor.
- Finally, we check the work and talk you through aftercare.
Before we arrive
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

New homes and floors in Icklesham
Floors around East Sussex run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they don’t all move the same way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
If you let a flat or house near Winchelsea station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Icklesham Church of England Primary School, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up. Community buildings like The Parish Church of St Nicholas are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

Why act early in Icklesham
Regrouting a cracked line in a tiled floor rarely fixes it. If the floor needs to move there, the grout will crack again. A flexible movement joint is the fix. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Icklesham, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.
