Floor joint sealing in Silverhill
Good floor joints come down to the right product and clean, prepared edges. We remove what’s there first, the joint is cleaned and backed where needed, then the new sealant goes in. We work on skirting boards, wet room & bathroom floors and commercial floors, and the jobs we see most are caulk that has cracked where the floor moves and rigid edge joints in tiled floors.
For a new home in or near Silverhill, it’s worth checking the sealant early. Gaps at skirtings, shower seals pulling away and missing mastic around frames are common snags.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Silverhill and everywhere else we cover.

What we do, step by step
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we are working on, so you can get on with your day. The job normally takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. Parking around Silverhill is generally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- We start by looking at the floor, the gap and the traffic, then choose the product.
- 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.
- We tool the joint neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
Before we arrive
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

What the job involves on each surface
Tiled floors
A crack running along a grout line is often a sign of a missing movement joint. We rake out that line and seal it where it suits the floor.
Concrete floor joints
Old filler, dust and debris are cleaned out of the joint. Backing goes in where the depth needs controlling.
New homes and floors in Silverhill
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. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
Rented homes near St Leonards Warrior Square station change hands often, and open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Matthew's Church, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

When to call us in Silverhill
Wheels crossing an unfilled concrete joint chip its edges. Hard wheels damage the joint edges.
The most common problems we see are:
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
If you look after a building such as Christ Church CofE Primary and Nursery Academy, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.
What to look for in a quote

- Whether you can choose the colour
Why deal with it now?
Left open, concrete joints break down under traffic. A sealed joint supports the edges. In a smaller place like Silverhill, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.

Your questions about floor joint sealing in Silverhill
Do you cover smaller places like Silverhill?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you work for landlords with property near St Leonards Warrior Square station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can be quoted together. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
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.
Will I be able to paint over the new joint?
If you tell us beforehand, yes. Joints that will be painted get a paintable product, and silicone elsewhere.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator, and we’re fully insured.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
What causes gaps between the floor and skirting?
Floors and walls move a little with the seasons, and new floors settle. We close it with a flexible sealant that moves with the floor.
Why not just use caulk?
Not where the floor moves or gets wet. Caulk cracks as the floor moves. A flexible sealant lasts longer there.
Honest limits
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Tiles that have lifted or broken
- Cracked or broken concrete slabs
- Floors that are uneven or need levelling
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer.

Should I try it myself first?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
