About our floor joint sealing in Plumpton
We seal floor joints in homes, offices and commercial buildings across Plumpton. We start by checking the floor type and the joint, because the right sealant depends on both. We work on skirting boards, wet room & bathroom floors and thresholds, and common reasons people get in touch are open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards and dirt and water collecting in open floor joints.
For a small place like Plumpton, the journey and access are planned in advance, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
- Do not fill floor joints with caulk where they move or get wet
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
Have a look at the joints once the heating season is over. If anything has opened, it’s easy to reseal.
Once concrete joint edges start to break, wheels make it worse. Early resealing helps keep the joint intact.
What happens if it’s left?
Caulk is quick and cheap, but it cracks where the joint moves or gets wet, but the movement soon cracks it. A flexible sealant stretches instead and keeps the joint sealed. In a small place like Plumpton, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Plumpton questions
Do you work for landlords with property near Plumpton station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Do you cover smaller places like Plumpton?
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.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Can you add a movement joint to a tiled floor?
Generally, yes. Straight cracks in grout often show where a movement joint was needed. We replace that grout with a flexible joint.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
Where are you based?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Is caulk good enough for skirting?
Caulk cannot cope with movement or water. Skirting joints move with the floor, so we use a flexible sealant that stretches.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
For anyone letting property in or around Plumpton, several properties can go on one quote. Send us the addresses and the work at each.
How it works
There’s no need to move everything out, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes in most cases. For a village or hamlet like Plumpton, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We look at the gap and the floor type and agree the right sealant.
- Whatever is in the joint now, whether caulk, grout or sealant, comes out.
- 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.
- Finally we tool it smooth and explain when the floor can be used and cleaned.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Common problems we fix in Plumpton
Caulk is the usual filler for skirting. In a joint that moves or gets wet, it splits, which is why so many skirting joints look broken.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
- Failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels
For buildings such as The Parish Church of St Michael and All Angels, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.
Before you book anyone
- What insurance they hold
- How long to leave it before use
- How much experience the applicator has
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
What the job involves on each surface
Skirting boards
If the skirting is painted, a paintable flexible sealant works well. Where water is involved, silicone is the better choice.
Concrete floor joints
We clean concrete joints out thoroughly before sealing. We fit backing where needed.
Floor joint sealing around Plumpton
Across East Sussex, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they don’t all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
