Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Three Oaks
Concrete floors in warehouses and units have joints that take heavy wear. We reseal them with a product chosen for the movement and the traffic. We work on tiled floors, thresholds and skirting boards, and the jobs we see most are gaps at thresholds between rooms and caulk that has cracked where the floor moves.
Around Three Oaks, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
- Don’t slide heavy items over sealed joints
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
Check the joints after the first winter. If anything has opened, it’s easy to reseal before they spread.
Small gaps are quick to seal. Ignored, they fill with dirt and open further over time.
Joints and finishes in Three Oaks homes
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. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
If you look after a building such as Buckswood School, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early. Letting a property close to Three Oaks station? Then open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.

- Tiled floors with no room to move
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
- Open joints that fill with dirt
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
For buildings such as St Laurence's Church, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

Questions from Three Oaks
Is Three Oaks in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Three Oaks is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Three Oaks?
Yes, Three Oaks is covered. 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 on commercial floors?
Yes. Old filler is cleaned out and the joint resealed with a floor-joint product. Let us know about the traffic.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Why has a gap opened under my skirting?
Timber floors and skirting shrink and swell through the year. We close it with a flexible sealant that moves with the floor.
Do you use a paintable sealant?
On joints you want to paint, yes. Silicone in bathrooms and kitchens can’t be painted so mention it when you get a quote.
Where are you based?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, it will not last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. The old sealant has to come out completely.
How the visit works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. In a small place like Three Oaks, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- 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.
- We apply a flexible sealant, or a floor-joint product on concrete, in a suitable colour.
- We tool the joint neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
Before we arrive
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
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.
