Advice
Floor joint sealing in Rye Foreign
Where skirting is painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. In wet areas we’d normally use silicone, which isn’t made to be painted. Typical jobs include rigid edge joints in tiled floors and dirt and water collecting in open floor joints, on commercial floors, skirting boards and concrete floor joints.
For a small place like Rye Foreign, the journey and access are planned in advance, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
All our work is covered by our 12-month guarantee.

Common problems we fix in Rye Foreign
Concrete floor joints break down when traffic runs over open or failed joints. Pallet trucks and trolleys knock the edges away until the joint widens.
Look out for any of the following:
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
- Tiled floors with no room to move
- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
For landlords with property near Rye station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.

When it isn’t the sealant
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Subfloor problems that need a flooring contractor
- Movement too big for a sealant joint
- Loose, hollow or cracked tiles, which need a tiler

Rye Foreign questions
Do you cover smaller places like Rye Foreign?
Yes. Rye Foreign is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Rye station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access.
How do I get a quote for floor joint sealing in Rye Foreign?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing and where.
Is there any odour?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
Will it make a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything isn’t right with the work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.
Why it’s worth doing now in Rye Foreign
Left open, concrete joints break down under traffic. A sealed joint supports the edges. In a small place like Rye Foreign, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.

How the job changes by surface
Skirting boards
Skirting-to-floor joints are a regular job for us. The old caulk is removed first so the bead sits on a clean surface.
Wet room and bathroom floors
Bathroom floor edges get wet at every clean. A flexible seal stops water running into the gap.
What floor joint sealing looks like in Rye Foreign
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.
For buildings such as The Parish Church of St Peter and St Paul, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. If you look after a building such as Peasmarsh Church of England Primary School, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.
