Floor joint sealing in Old Heathfield, done properly
In kitchens and bathrooms, the joint where the floor meets a bath panel, plinth or skirting takes mop water every day. A flexible silicone seal keeps it out and stops dirt collecting. If you’re dealing with gaps at thresholds between rooms and chipped and open joints in warehouse floors, we can help, on thresholds, skirting boards and wet room & bathroom floors alike.
Older homes in small places like Old Heathfield often have timber floors that move with the seasons, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Look at floor joints each spring
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
Check the joints after the first winter. Small gaps at the ends can be touched up early on.
Open skirting gaps let in draughts, dust and sometimes insects. Sealing it keeps the room tidier.
Surface by surface
Tiled floors
Perimeter joints in tiled floors should be sealant, not grout. We rake out any grout there and reseal.
Skirting boards
Gaps between skirting and floor open as timber and floors move. A flexible sealant closes the gap without cracking in a colour to suit.

What floor joint sealing looks like in Old Heathfield
Floors around East Sussex run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and each moves in its own way. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Heathfield Community College, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as The Parish Church of All Saints, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

FAQs for Old Heathfield
Is floor joint sealing in Old Heathfield guaranteed?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Will you come out to Old Heathfield?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
How much does floor joint sealing cost in Old Heathfield?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
How long does the job take?
Most jobs take a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors, including preparation and clearing up. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Do you use a paintable sealant?
It depends on the sealant, so let us know first. We use a paintable flexible sealant on joints you plan to paint.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
Leave it or put it right?
Water that gets past a floor joint can damage the floor beneath. Dealing with it early keeps the repair to the joint. Older cottages and farmhouses around Old Heathfield can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
