Rye Harbour: your questions answered
Is Rye Harbour in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Rye Harbour is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Rye station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Do I have to be there?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, and for outside work we will agree access with you when we book.
Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we will put it right.
Do you seal floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens?
Yes. Wet-area floor joints are sealed with a flexible, water-resistant silicone to keep mop water out.
Can you use decorators’ caulk instead?
Only on dry joints that do not move. It splits once the floor shifts. A flexible sealant lasts longer there.
Floor joint sealing in Rye Harbour
Floors move, and the joint where they meet a wall, skirting, threshold or another floor has to move with them. We seal skirting gaps, tiled floor movement joints and concrete floor joints. Typical jobs include gaps between floors and kitchen plinths and concrete floor joints that have broken down, across thresholds, commercial floors and tiled floors.
Somewhere as small as Rye Harbour, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Rye Harbour and across East Sussex.

Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.

Signs you need floor joint sealing in Rye Harbour
When a tiled floor has no movement joints, the grout takes the strain. You will see a crack running along the grout, where a flexible joint should have been.
The most common problems we see are:
- Failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
Schools such as Rye College are buildings too, and floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.
Questions to ask before booking
- How long the guarantee is
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- How much experience the applicator has
- How long to leave it before use
Landlord and commercial work in Rye Harbour
Landlords and letting agents in Rye Harbour can book us as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
- Do not slide heavy items over sealed joints
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
Keep heavy traffic off resealed concrete joints for the cure time we give you. Mark the area off so drivers avoid it.
Cracks along tile grout lines come back unless the movement is dealt with. A flexible joint added early helps protect the tiles themselves.
New homes and floors in Rye Harbour
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.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as The Church of the Holy Spirit, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. Letting a property close to Rye station? Then a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant.

Surface by surface
Thresholds
Thresholds take daily traffic, so the sealant has to be tough as well as flexible.
Wet room and bathroom floors
Bathroom floors meet baths, trays, panels and skirting. We seal them with anti-fungal sanitary silicone to keep water out of the edges.
