About our floor joint sealing in Potter's Green

Where skirting is painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. For bathrooms and kitchens, silicone is usually the better choice. We work on commercial floors, wet room & bathroom floors and skirting boards, and common reasons people get in touch are perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout and skirting caulk that keeps splitting.

In a village or hamlet like Potter's Green, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.

All our work is covered by our 12-month guarantee.

Leave it or put it right?

Dirt builds up in open joints, and they look untidy. A neat sealed joint is easier to clean. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Potter's Green, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.

Combining jobs into one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

How the visit works

Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we don’t rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. Somewhere like Potter's Green needs a little journey planning: 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.

  1. We look at the gap and the floor type and agree the right sealant.
  2. Whatever is in the joint now, whether caulk, grout or sealant, comes out.
  3. The joint is vacuumed clean, with backing fitted wherever depth matters.
  4. We apply a flexible sealant, or a floor-joint product on concrete, in a suitable colour.
  5. We tool the joint neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention if the joints have been sealed before
  • Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Different surfaces, different methods

Concrete floor joints

Old filler, dust and debris are cleaned out of the joint first. Backing goes in where the depth needs controlling.

Skirting boards

Skirting gaps are one of the most common floor joints we seal. We take out any cracked caulk before sealing so the bead sits on a clean surface.

When something else is needed

A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:

  • Loose, hollow or cracked tiles, which need a tiler
  • Movement too big for a sealant joint
  • Leaks from a failed tanking system

If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we seal

  • Thresholds
  • Wet room & bathroom floors
  • Skirting boards
  • Tiled floors
  • Concrete floor joints
  • Commercial floors

What we’re called out for in Potter's Green

Wheels crossing an unfilled concrete joint chip its edges. Pallet trucks and trolleys knock the edges away until the joint widens.

Any of these means the joints need attention:

  • Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
  • Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
  • Threshold joints that have opened or worn
  • Tiled floors with no room to move

Rented homes near Buxted station change hands often, and open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.

Questions to ask before you book

  • How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
  • Whether they’re fully insured
  • What guarantee comes with the work
  • Is the old sealant removed completely?

10 questions to ask before booking

Can I do it myself?

If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.

The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.

What affects the quote in Potter's Green

Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • Mould in or behind the old joints
  • The size of the job
  • When we can work, for business premises
  • How many rooms, windows or areas are involved

Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

What we need to know

The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:

  • Roughly how big the job is
  • What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
  • Where the job is, and your postcode
  • The type of property

For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or email us if that’s easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we will talk you through the work and send you a clear quote.

What floor joint sealing looks like in Potter's Green

Across East Sussex, 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 look after a building such as Buxted CofE Primary School, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Mary the Virgin, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

Potter's Green: your questions answered

Is Potter's Green in your area for floor joint sealing?

Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Potter's Green is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.

Is Potter's Green within the area you cover?

Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.

Can new sealant go over the old?

No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.

Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?

Usually it’s movement: heating drying the timber, or a filler that is too rigid. A flexible sealant stays closed as the floor moves.

Do you seal kitchen plinths to the floor?

Yes. Floor edges in bathrooms and kitchens get wet at every clean, so we seal them with silicone suited to wet areas.

Do you guarantee your work?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Will the old sealant be removed?

Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before resealing.

Can tenants book the work?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
