Specialist floor joint sealing for Ore: careful preparation, the right product and tidy work. Call for a quick quote.
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
What the job involves on each surface
Wet room and bathroom floors
Bathroom floor edges get wet at every clean. A flexible seal stops water running into the gap.
Skirting boards
Skirting-to-floor joints are a regular job for us. We take out any cracked caulk before sealing.
About our floor joint sealing in Ore
The gap under a skirting board often opens as floors and walls move with the seasons. Caulk tends to crack there, so we close it with a flexible sealant instead. If you’re dealing with worn sealant at door thresholds and open joints that fill with dirt, we can put it right, on commercial floors, concrete floor joints and thresholds alike.
Where new homes go up in smaller places like Ore, it’s often a small development or a single plot. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly from day one.
All our work comes with our 12-month guarantee.

What floor joint sealing looks like in Ore
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 is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
Schools such as Sandown Primary School are buildings too, and floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early. For landlords with property near Ore station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies. For buildings such as Christ Church, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
- Use furniture pads near skirting
Don’t paint over silicone. If the joint will be painted, tell us beforehand so we use a paintable sealant.
Water getting into floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens can damage what’s underneath. Resealing early keeps it out.
Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
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 happens if it’s left?
Leaving skirting gaps until the next decorating job lets dirt and draughts in. It’s a quick job to seal them now. Around Ore, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear price before any work starts.

Your questions about floor joint sealing in Ore
Is Ore within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Ore station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
How long does floor joint sealing take?
Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon for most homes. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Is it messy?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few photos.
What does floor joint sealing cost?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote and we’ll talk you through it.
When can I walk on the floor?
We give you a cure time for each joint. Feet are generally fine first, then mopping, then heavy wheels in most cases.
What happens on the day
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we are working on, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take a morning or an afternoon for most homes, and we explain the cure time before we leave. For a job in Ore, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- First we check the joint and the floor and agree which sealant suits it.
- Old caulk, grout or sealant is removed from the joint.
- We clean and vacuum the joint and fit backing where the depth needs setting.
- A flexible sealant, or a floor-joint sealant for concrete, is applied in a colour to suit.
- The joint is tooled to a neat finish and we tell you when it can take feet and a mop.
Getting ready for the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Mention any tricky access
