About our floor joint sealing in Patcham
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. We work on thresholds, wet room & bathroom floors and concrete floor joints, and common reasons people get in touch are chipped and open joints in warehouse floors and threshold joints that have opened or worn.
Homes around Patcham range from older cottages to newer houses, and their floors range just as widely, each moving in its own way. The sealant at skirtings and thresholds has to suit the floor it meets.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

When it is not the sealant
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Floors that are uneven or need levelling
- Movement too big for a sealant joint
- A tiled floor that needs relaying
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Wet room & bathroom floors
- Concrete floor joints
- Tiled floors
- Skirting boards
- Commercial floors
- Thresholds
Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
- Do not paint over silicone
Keep heavy traffic off resealed concrete joints for the cure time we give you. Cone off the area if needed until it’s ready.
A tiled floor that cracks along a line will keep cracking until it can move. Adding a movement joint early can stop cracks spreading to the tiles.
What floor joint sealing looks like in Patcham
Across Brighton and Hove, 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.
If you let a flat or house near Preston Park station, a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant. For buildings such as All Saints Church, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Patcham Infant School, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.

Patcham questions
Is Patcham in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Patcham is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Will you come out to Patcham?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
How long does the job take?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. Bigger jobs take longer, and we’ll tell you how long to expect.
When can I walk on the floor?
We will tell you before we leave. That depends on the product, and walking on it normally comes before mopping or wheeled traffic.
Do you work on commercial floors?
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.
Do you use a paintable sealant?
Where the skirting will be painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. Silicone will not take paint, so it’s kept for wet areas and unpainted joints.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, because it fails. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
Why deal with it now?
Regrouting a cracked line in a tiled floor rarely fixes it. If the floor needs to move there, the grout will crack again. Replacing that line with flexible sealant gives it somewhere to go. In an older home around Patcham, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first.

The process
There’s no need to move everything out, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the job takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes for a typical job. A visit to Patcham is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- We start by looking at the floor, the gap and the traffic, then choose the product.
- Old caulk, grout or sealant is removed from the joint.
- The joint is cleaned, vacuumed and backed where depth needs controlling.
- A flexible sealant, or a floor-joint sealant for concrete, is applied in a colour to suit.
- We tool the joint neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Advice
DIY versus a professional finish
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
