About our floor joint sealing in Newbury's
Large tiled floors, and those over underfloor heating, often need movement joints. We can turn a line of grout into a movement joint by replacing it with flexible sealant in a matching colour. If you’re dealing with cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint and failed joint filler in concrete floors, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Around Newbury's, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
Questions from Newbury's
Is Newbury's within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you work for landlords with property near Wadhurst station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
What does floor joint sealing cost?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote and we will talk you through it.
Can you seal where the floor meets the bath panel?
Yes. The old joint comes out and a flexible silicone replaces it in a colour to suit.
Can you reseal concrete floor joints in an industrial unit?
Yes. Concrete floor joints in warehouses and units are part of our work. We will talk through the traffic and choose a sealant suited to it.
Is caulk good enough for skirting?
Because caulk cracks where there’s movement or water. Floor edges move through the year, so we use a flexible sealant that stretches.
What do you put in the joint?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We will tell you what we are using and why.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
- Look at floor joints each spring
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
In commercial units, keep pallet trucks and heavy wheels off new joints until they’ve cured. Cone off the area if needed until it’s ready.
Concrete joints damaged by traffic get worse quickly. Sealing them early protects the edges and the surface smoother.
The process
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, protect the area around them, carry out the job and tidy away. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon for most homes. For a village or hamlet like Newbury's, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We start by looking at the floor, the gap and the traffic, then choose the product.
- We take out any old caulk, sealant or grout along the line.
- We clean and vacuum the joint and fit backing where the depth needs setting.
- We apply a flexible sealant, or a floor-joint product on concrete, in a suitable colour.
- We tool the joint neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention any tricky access
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

What floor joint sealing looks like in Newbury's
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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Uplands Community College, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early. If you let a flat or house near Wadhurst station, a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant.

What else we do in Newbury's
DIY sealant or a professional job?
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.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
What we’re called out for in Newbury's
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.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
- Failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels
- Open joints that fill with dirt
Community buildings like Rehoboth Chapel are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.
Questions to ask before you book
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- What the cure time is
- Which colour the sealant will be

Different surfaces, different methods
Commercial floors
Commercial floors take more traffic than most homes. We talk through the traffic and choose a sealant suited to it.
Skirting boards
If the skirting is painted, a paintable flexible sealant works well. Where water is involved, silicone is the better choice.
