Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Magham Down
Wet-area floor joints keep water out of the gap behind skirting and plinths. We seal them with a flexible, water-resistant sealant so water and dirt can’t get in. If you have tiled floors with no room to move and open joints that fill with dirt, we can help, on thresholds, concrete floor joints and tiled floors alike.
Somewhere as small as Magham Down, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Why it’s worth doing now in Magham Down
Waiting until the next redecoration can mean a winter of draughts and dirt in the gaps. Sealing them now is a short job. Around Magham Down, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Combining jobs into one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

FAQs for Magham Down
I let a flat near Polegate station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do you cover Magham Down for floor joint sealing?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Magham Down is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Why has a gap opened under my skirting?
Floors shrink and settle, especially in the first year or two and through the heating season pulls the skirting and floor apart. Caulk tends to crack; a flexible sealant does not.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, it won’t last. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, we can. More than one area can be quoted together.
Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Can grout be replaced with sealant on a tiled floor?
Normally, yes. A crack along a grout line often means the floor needs room to move. We rake out that line and seal it with flexible sealant.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Do you need floor joint sealing in Magham Down?
Wheels crossing an unfilled concrete joint chip its edges. Hard wheels damage the joint edges and the joint gets wider.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down

What happens on the day
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes in most cases. In a small place like Magham Down, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by checking the floor, the joint and what traffic it takes.
- 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.
- We tool it neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
How to prepare
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Advice
Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Concrete repairs beyond the joint
- Subfloor problems that need a flooring contractor
- Loose, hollow or cracked tiles, which need a tiler
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think before booking.

New homes and floors in Magham Down
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.

Surface by surface
Thresholds
Where a tiled floor meets timber or carpet, the joint takes movement from both sides. A flexible sealant bridges them.
Skirting boards
Skirting-to-floor joints are a regular job for us. The old caulk is removed first.
