About our floor joint sealing in St Helen's
Large tiled floors, and those over underfloor heating, often need movement joints. We can turn a line of grout into a movement joint by replacing it with flexible sealant. We work on thresholds, skirting boards and concrete floor joints, and common reasons people get in touch are cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens and gaps between floors and kitchen plinths.
Homes around St Helen's range from older cottages to newer houses, and their floors range just as widely, each moving in its own way. The sealant at skirtings and thresholds has to suit the floor it meets.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in East Sussex.

Why deal with it now?
Left open, concrete joints break down under traffic. A sealed joint supports the edges. In an older home around St Helen's, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.

What else we do in St Helen's
Do you need floor joint sealing in St Helen's?
New floors settle once they’re in use. The edges pull away from the skirting.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
- Tiled floors with no room to move
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Peter & St Paul, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.
What your quote should include
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Are they insured?
- What preparation is included
What the job involves on each surface
Wet room and bathroom floors
In a wet room, the floor-to-wall joint is a key line of defence. It’s resealed with a sanitary silicone, and we will tell you if the leak seems to come from elsewhere.
Skirting boards
Skirting gaps are one of the most common floor joints we seal. The old caulk is removed first so the new sealant bonds.
St Helen's questions
Do you cover smaller places like St Helen's?
Yes. St Helen's is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you cover St Helen's for floor joint sealing?
Yes, St Helen's is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours for many products, and we will agree it with you first.
Do I need to be at home?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that generally means someone at home.
Why has a gap opened under my skirting?
Timber floors and skirting shrink and swell through the year. A flexible sealant closes the gap without cracking like caulk.
Are you insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured for every job we do.
How long will you be here?
Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon for most homes. We will confirm how long when we quote.
Can you use decorators’ caulk instead?
Only on dry joints that don’t move. It splits once the floor shifts, so the gap comes back. A flexible sealant lasts longer there.
DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
