About our floor joint sealing in Tile Hurst
Wet-area floor joints keep water out of the gap behind skirting and plinths. A flexible silicone seal keeps it out and stops dirt collecting. We work on thresholds, wet room & bathroom floors and commercial floors, and people most often call us about open joints that fill with dirt and failed joint filler in concrete floors.
Older homes in small places like Tile Hurst often have timber floors that move with the seasons, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Tile Hurst questions
Will you come out to Tile Hurst?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Polegate station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Can I do it myself?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
What should I tell you?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.
How long will you be here?
It depends on the size of the job, but as a guide it takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, it won’t last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
What sealant do you use?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Joints and finishes in Tile Hurst homes
Across East Sussex, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they don’t all move the same way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
Rented homes near Polegate station change hands often, and gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies. For buildings such as Zoar Strict Baptist Chapel, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

When to call us in Tile Hurst
Timber floors and skirting shrink and swell through the year. In winter, with the heating on, timber dries and gaps open.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
Managing a site like Grovelands Community Primary School? Then entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

What happens if it’s left?
Water that gets past a floor joint can damage the floor beneath. Dealing with it early keeps the repair to the joint. Around Tile Hurst, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
- Don’t paint over silicone
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
In commercial units, keep pallet trucks and heavy wheels off new joints until they’ve cured. Cone off the area if needed until it’s ready.
Once concrete joint edges start to break, wheels make it worse. Early resealing helps keep the joint intact and the surface smoother.
How the job changes by surface
Concrete floor joints
Old filler, dust and debris are cleaned out of the joint, vacuuming them clean. Backing goes in where the depth needs controlling.
Skirting boards
On painted skirting, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. In wet rooms and kitchens, silicone is usually better.
The process
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint, including the tidy-up. In a small place like Tile Hurst, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We look at the gap and the floor type and agree the right sealant.
- Whatever is in the joint now, whether caulk, grout or sealant, comes out.
- The joint is vacuumed clean, with backing fitted wherever depth matters.
- 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
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Related advice
DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
What affects the cost of floor joint sealing
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- When we can work, for business premises
- Any mould that needs treating
- Access and height
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Helping us quote
You don’t need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- If someone has resealed it before
Asking for a quote is easy: tell us what needs doing and where and its rough size. Photos by email help us understand the job.
