DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
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.
How we handle floor joint sealing in Kemptown
Thresholds are where two floors, or a floor and a door, meet. We use a flexible product that suits both floors in a colour to suit. Typical jobs include open joints that fill with dirt and cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint, across concrete floor joints, commercial floors and thresholds.
In smaller places like Kemptown, new homes tend to come as small developments or single plots. The sealant around baths, showers, frames and skirtings needs to be right from the start.
All our work comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Brighton and Hove.

Surface by surface
Tiled floors
A crack running along a grout line is often a sign of a missing movement joint. That line is converted to a flexible joint where it suits the floor.
Concrete floor joints
Concrete floors have sawn or formed joints to control cracking. They’re resealed with a product chosen for what runs over them.
Floor joint sealing around Kemptown
Across Brighton and Hove, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and each moves in its own way. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
For buildings such as St George's Church, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

Questions from Kemptown
Do you cover smaller places like Kemptown?
Yes, Kemptown is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you cover Kemptown for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Kemptown is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing.
What should I tell you?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Can sealant along the skirting be painted?
It depends on the sealant, so let us know first. Joints that will be painted get a paintable product and wet areas get silicone.
How do I get a quote for floor joint sealing in Kemptown?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. For a quick quote, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing and where.
What do you put in the joint?
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.
Where do you work from?
We work from Crawley. We cover Kemptown and the rest of Brighton and Hove, along with the rest of our area.
Can you seal where the floor meets the bath panel?
Yes. Where a floor meets a bath panel, kitchen plinth or skirting in a wet area, we use a flexible silicone.
What sealant work can’t fix
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Floors that are uneven or need levelling
- Water getting under the tiles from elsewhere
- Large cracks that need a surveyor
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Thresholds
- Commercial floors
- Concrete floor joints
- Tiled floors
- Skirting boards
- Wet room & bathroom floors
Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
Do not paint over silicone. If the joint will be painted, tell us beforehand so we use a paintable sealant.
Cracks along tile grout lines come back unless the movement is dealt with. A flexible joint added early helps protect the tiles themselves.

What else we do in Kemptown
What we’re called out for in Kemptown
Some floors were never given a perimeter gap or movement joint. It pushes against the walls and skirting as it expands, and the sealant or grout breaks.
People normally contact us after spotting one of these:
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
- Tiled floors with no room to move
- Chipped and open joints in warehouse floors
Rented homes near Brighton station change hands often, and gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- What guarantee comes with the work
- When the joint can take water or movement
