Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
How we handle floor joint sealing in Tidebrook
A threshold joint has to cope with feet, movement and sometimes water. We seal them with a flexible sealant suited to the floor finishes either side in a colour to suit. If you are dealing with gaps at thresholds between rooms and grout cracking in a straight line across a floor, we can help, whatever the surface.
Older homes in small places like Tidebrook often have timber floors that move with the seasons, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in East Sussex.

How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
Have a look at the joints once the heating season is over. Small gaps at the ends can be touched up early on.
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.
New homes and floors in Tidebrook
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.
For buildings such as The Parish Church of St John the Baptist, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. Rented homes near Wadhurst station change hands often, and a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant.

Your questions about floor joint sealing in Tidebrook
Is Tidebrook in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Tidebrook is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
I let a flat near Wadhurst station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
What do you put in the joint?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We will tell you what we are using and why.
How long before the joint can take traffic?
That varies with the sealant and the room. We give you the times for walking, cleaning and traffic when we finish.
Does someone need to be in?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.
Do you seal floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens?
Yes. These joints get wet every time the floor is cleaned, so a flexible silicone is the right choice.
Can you reseal concrete floor joints in an industrial unit?
Yes. Concrete floor joints in warehouses and units are part of our work. We will talk through the traffic and choose a sealant suited to it.
How long will you be here?
A typical job takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. We will confirm how long when we quote.
When to call us in Tidebrook
Grout is rigid, so a tiled floor with nowhere to move cracks along a grout line. You will see a crack running along the grout, showing where a movement joint was needed.
The most common problems we see are:
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
- Tiled floors with no room to move
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
Schools such as Uplands Community College are buildings too, and floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.

- How long to leave it before use
- Who turns up on the day
- Are they insured?
Why deal with it now?
Putting new grout into a crack that keeps reappearing does not last. The movement is still there, so the grout fails again. Replacing that line with flexible sealant gives it somewhere to go. Around Tidebrook, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first.
