About our floor joint sealing in Upper Dicker
Thresholds are where two floors, or a floor and a door, meet. We seal them with a flexible sealant suited to the floor finishes either side so the joint stays neat. We work on concrete floor joints, commercial floors and tiled floors, and the jobs we see most are grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant and threshold joints that have opened or worn.
Somewhere as small as Upper Dicker, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Upper Dicker and everywhere else we cover.

Joints and finishes in Upper Dicker homes
Floors around East Sussex run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and each moves in its own way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
Rented homes near Berwick (Sussex) station change hands often, and gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies. Schools such as Bede's Prep School are buildings too, and floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early. Community buildings like Holy Trinity are part of the picture too: floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

What affects the cost of floor joint sealing
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- The amount of work
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Any mould that needs treating
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.
What to tell us for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Roughly how big the job is
- How we’d reach the joints
- Where the job is, and your postcode
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help us understand the job.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
- Keep dirt out of the joints
In commercial units, keep pallet trucks and heavy wheels off new joints until they’ve cured. Mark the area off so drivers avoid it.
Water getting into floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens can damage what’s underneath. Resealing early keeps it out.
Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
What the job involves on each surface
Wet room and bathroom floors
Bathroom floor edges get wet at every clean. A neat silicone joint keeps it out.
Thresholds
A threshold is where floors and frames meet. A flexible sealant suits both floor finishes.
What happens on the day
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. In a small place like Upper Dicker, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by looking at the floor, the gap and the traffic, then choose the product.
- Whatever is in the joint now, whether caulk, grout or sealant, comes out.
- 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
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Let us know about parking restrictions

How long will you be here?
Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon for most homes, including preparation and clearing up. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
Which products do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Where are you based?
We’re a Crawley-based firm. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Do you seal floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens?
Yes. We cut out any old sealant or caulk and reseal with flexible silicone.
What happens if it’s left?
The right product depends on the floor and the traffic: flexible sealant for skirting and tiles, silicone in wet areas, and floor-joint products for concrete. Getting that choice wrong is a common reason joints fail. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Upper Dicker, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Combining jobs into one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
