Floor joint sealing in Rabbit's Cross
Wet-area floor joints keep water out of the gap behind skirting and plinths. A flexible silicone seal keeps it out so water and dirt can’t get in. If you’re dealing with worn sealant at door thresholds and floor edges that trap water and grime, we can help, whatever the surface.
For a small place like Rabbit's Cross, the journey and access are planned in advance, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Questions from Rabbit's Cross
Do you cover smaller places like Rabbit's Cross?
Yes. Rabbit's Cross is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Staplehurst station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
What do you need from me for a quote?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. All our work carries our one-year guarantee.
Is it messy?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Can you add a movement joint to a tiled floor?
Often, yes. A crack along a grout line often means the floor needs room to move. We replace that grout with a flexible joint.
Do you seal warehouse floor joints?
Yes. Old filler is cleaned out and the joint resealed with a floor-joint product. Let us know about the traffic.
Where do you work from?
We are based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
DIY versus a professional finish
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
New homes and floors in Rabbit's Cross
Across Kent, 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.
Around Rabbit's Cross, as everywhere, floor joint sealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
- Don’t slide heavy items over sealed joints
- Don’t fill floor joints with caulk where they move or get wet
Silicone sealant isn’t made to take paint. If you plan to paint, we’ll use a paintable product.
In wet areas, an open floor joint lets water reach the subfloor. A sound seal stops that happening.
Leave it or put it right?
Floor joints left open collect dirt that’s hard to clean out, and they look untidy. A neat sealed joint is easier to clean and finishes the floor. Around Rabbit's Cross, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Doing several joints on one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

What affects the cost of floor joint sealing

- Any mould that needs treating
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- How many areas need sealing
- Which sealant suits the joint
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick 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:
- The type of property
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- The problem you’ve noticed
We quote each job on its own, so start by telling us what you need. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work starts. The work usually takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. For a village or hamlet like Rabbit's Cross, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First we check the joint and the floor and agree which sealant suits it.
- We take out any old caulk, sealant or grout along the line.
- The joint is vacuumed clean, with backing fitted wherever depth matters.
- 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
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
