Floor joint sealing in Southover
Good floor joints come down to the right product and clean, prepared edges. Old caulk, grout or failed sealant comes out first, the joint is cleaned and backed where needed, then the new sealant goes in. If you have tiled floors with no room to move and open joints that fill with dirt, we can put it right.
In and around Southover, floors range from older timber boards to tiles and newer finishes, each moving in its own way. Skirting and threshold joints need a sealant that suits the floor.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

New homes and floors in Southover
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. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
If you look after a building such as Western Road Community Primary School, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up. For buildings such as Church of St Michael, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. If you let a flat or house near Lewes station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.

FAQs for Southover
Do you work for landlords with property near Lewes station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Is Southover in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Southover is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
What does floor joint sealing cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
What should I tell you?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, it won’t last. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Where do you work from?
Our base is in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Is caulk good enough for skirting?
Not where the floor moves or gets wet. It splits once the floor shifts. A flexible sealant is the better choice.
What causes gaps between the floor and skirting?
It’s normally the floor moving: heating drying the timber, or a filler that’s too rigid. A flexible bead keeps up with the movement.
Why act early in Southover
Dirt builds up in open joints and makes the floor look worn. A neat sealed joint is easier to clean and finishes the floor. In an older home around Southover, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
Check the joints after the first winter. Small gaps at the ends can be touched up.
Cracks along tile grout lines come back unless the movement is dealt with. Adding a movement joint early can stop cracks spreading to the tiles.
Different surfaces, different methods
Commercial floors
Commercial floors take more traffic than most homes. We talk through the traffic and choose a sealant suited to it.
Concrete floor joints
Old filler, dust and debris are cleaned out of the joint first. Backing goes in where the depth needs controlling.
Landlord and commercial work in Southover
We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.

There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes, including the tidy-up.

- The room is cleared along the joints so we can reach them.
- We take out the cracked caulk, grout or old sealant.
- We clean and dry the edges of the joint.
- A flexible sealant suited to the floor is applied.
- We check the joints and explain the aftercare.
