DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
How we handle floor joint sealing in Telscombe
In commercial and industrial units, concrete floor joints take a hammering from wheels and traffic. We reseal them with a product chosen for the movement and the traffic. We work on tiled floors, thresholds and concrete floor joints, and people most often call us about gaps opening between the floor and skirting and perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout.
For a new home in or near Telscombe, it’s worth checking the sealant early. Gaps at skirtings, shower seals pulling away and missing mastic around frames are common snags.
Every job is covered by a 12-month guarantee.

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.
Skirting boards
On painted skirting, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. In wet rooms and kitchens, silicone is generally better.

What affects the cost of floor joint sealing
Your quote is based on your job. We look at:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Any mould that needs treating
- The type of sealant required
- The size of the job
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- The rough size of the job
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- A few photos by email, if you can
We don’t publish a price list. Instead, we give you a clear price for your job. To arrange one, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
How it works
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint. Parking around Telscombe 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 look at the gap and the floor type and agree the right sealant.
- We take out any old caulk, sealant or grout along the line.
- The joint is cleaned, vacuumed and backed where depth needs controlling.
- The sealant goes in, chosen for the floor and coloured to suit it.
- The joint is tooled to a neat finish and we tell you when it can take feet and a mop.
Before we arrive
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

What happens if it’s left?
Waiting until the next redecoration can mean a winter of draughts and dirt in the gaps. Sealing them now is a short job for most homes. Around Telscombe, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.

Floor joint sealing in Telscombe: local notes
Floors around East Sussex run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they don’t all move the same way. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
If you look after a building such as Telscombe Cliffs Community Primary School, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up. Rented homes near Southease station change hands often, and gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.

Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
- Do not slide heavy items over sealed joints
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
Check the joints after the first winter. If anything has opened, it’s easy to reseal.
Open skirting gaps let in draughts, dust and sometimes insects. Sealing it keeps the room tidier.
Your questions about floor joint sealing in Telscombe
Do you cover smaller places like Telscombe?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you work for landlords with property near Southease station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Can you use decorators’ caulk instead?
Because caulk cracks where there’s movement or water. Floor edges move through the year, so we use a flexible sealant that stretches.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, always. Each job is guaranteed for twelve months.
How long does the job take?
That depends on the amount of work, but as a guide it takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
Where do you work from?
We are a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Do you need floor joint sealing in Telscombe?
Floors and walls move a little with the seasons. In winter, with the heating on, timber dries and gaps open.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
- Failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as The Parish Church of St Lawrence, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.
