Joints and finishes in Skippers Hill homes
Across East Sussex, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and each moves in its own way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
Letting a property close to Crowborough station? Then gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of the Good Shepherd, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Skippers Hill Manor School, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
- Use furniture pads near skirting
Avoid flooding the floor when you clean. Less water at the edges helps the joints last.
Sealing a gap while it’s small is a quick job. Ignored, they fill with dirt and open further and are harder to clean out.

What affects the cost of floor joint sealing
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The type of sealant required
- The number of rooms or windows
- How easy the joints are to reach
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.

There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- The problem you’ve noticed

When something else is needed
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Cracked or broken concrete slabs
- Failed waterproofing under a wet room floor
- Movement too big for a sealant joint
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think.
What we seal
- Wet room & bathroom floors
- Thresholds
- Concrete floor joints
- Skirting boards
- Commercial floors
- Tiled floors
What the job involves on each surface
Tiled floors
Tiled floors need movement joints at edges and across large areas. Where needed, a line of grout is replaced with flexible sealant in a matching colour.
Commercial floors
Shops, offices, warehouses and units all have floor joints that need sealing. We talk through the traffic and choose a sealant suited to it.
DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
What happens on the day
Once we’re on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes. For a village or hamlet like Skippers Hill, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We look at the gap and the floor type and agree the right sealant.
- Whatever is in the joint now, whether caulk, grout or sealant, comes out.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the joints

Getting a quote is simple: let us know what needs doing and where. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand, and we’ll take it from there.
Related advice
Why deal with it now?
The right product depends on the floor and the traffic: flexible sealant for skirting and tiles, silicone in wet areas, and floor-joint products for concrete. Getting that choice wrong is a common reason joints fail. Older cottages and farmhouses around Skippers Hill can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.
