Will I be able to paint over the new joint?

How long does floor joint sealing 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.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
About our floor joint sealing in Rusher's Cross
Tiled floors can crack along the grout when there’s no room for movement. Where one is needed, we rake out the grout along the right line and replace it with flexible sealant coloured to suit the grout. We work on wet room & bathroom floors, thresholds and concrete floor joints, and the jobs we see most are tiled floors with no room to move and open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards.
Older homes in small places like Rusher's Cross often have timber floors that move with the seasons, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Rusher's Cross as everywhere else we work.

Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.
How we quote for floor joint sealing
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Access and height
- The number of rooms or windows
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Which sealant suits the joint
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
What to tell us for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- Roughly how big the job is
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- The address or postcode of the job
We don’t publish a price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, we give you a clear price for your job. To arrange one, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
What we can’t put right
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- A tiled floor that needs relaying
- Large cracks that need a surveyor
- Floors that are uneven or need levelling
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Leave it or put it right?
Waiting until the next redecoration can mean a winter of draughts and dirt in the gaps. Sealing them now is a short job in most rooms. Older cottages and farmhouses around Rusher's Cross can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.

How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
- Don’t paint over silicone
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
Follow the cure time before walking on or cleaning the joint. Light foot traffic is usually fine sooner than wet cleaning or wheels so we’ll give you each time.
A gap under the skirting collects dust and lets draughts through. Sealing it early keeps the room cleaner and the edges sound.
Floor joint sealing around Rusher's Cross
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. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
Community buildings like The Parish Church of St John the Baptist are part of the picture too: floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. If you let a flat or house near Wadhurst station, a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant.
