Floor & skirting joints in Norlington, East Sussex
Floor joints in Norlington need attention? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, with a 12-month guarantee.
- Open joints that fill with dirt
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
How we handle floor joint sealing in Norlington
Wet-area floor joints keep water out of the gap behind skirting and plinths. A flexible silicone seal keeps it out so water and dirt cannot get in. If you’re dealing with cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint and gaps at thresholds between rooms, we can help, on thresholds, commercial floors and wet room & bathroom floors alike.
In a village or hamlet like Norlington, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

Why it’s worth doing now in Norlington
An open concrete floor joint gets wider every time something heavy crosses it. A sealed joint supports the edges before they need a bigger repair. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Norlington, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.

What else we do in Norlington
What the job involves on each surface
Wet room and bathroom floors
Wet room floors rely on sound joints at the walls. We reseal it with a flexible silicone suited to wet areas.
Thresholds
Thresholds between rooms meet two floors and often a door frame. We seal them with a flexible sealant that suits both sides.
Common problems we fix in Norlington
Floors and walls move a little with the seasons. In winter, with the heating on, timber dries and gaps open and they change again in summer.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
For buildings such as The Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.
What your quote should include
- What product goes in the joint
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- What the cure time is
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
What we cannot put right
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before work begins. It will not solve:
- Large cracks that need a surveyor
- Failed waterproofing under a wet room floor
- Tiles that have lifted or broken
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.
What we seal
- Commercial floors
- Skirting boards
- Wet room & bathroom floors
- Tiled floors
- Thresholds
- Concrete floor joints
How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
- Do not paint over silicone
- Use furniture pads near skirting
Mop with a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor. Less water at the edges helps the joints last.
Concrete joints damaged by traffic get worse quickly. Sealing them early protects the edges and the surface smoother.
Floor joint sealing in Norlington: local notes
Across East Sussex, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they do not all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
If you look after a building such as Ringmer Community College and Sixth Form, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up. Letting a property close to Lewes station? Then gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.

Will it make a mess?

Are you an approved applicator?

Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
