The process
Once we are on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. In a smaller place like Upper Horsebridge, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- 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.
- The joint is tooled to a neat finish and we tell you when it can take feet and a mop.
Getting ready for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Advice
Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Upper Horsebridge
The gap under a skirting board often opens as floors and walls move with the seasons. Caulk tends to crack there, so we close it with a flexible sealant instead. If you’re dealing with failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels and gaps at thresholds between rooms, we can help, on commercial floors, tiled floors and thresholds alike.
In and around Upper Horsebridge, floors range from older timber boards to tiles and newer finishes, from timber that moves with the seasons to tiles laid on concrete. The sealant at skirtings and thresholds has to suit the floor it meets.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Upper Horsebridge and across East Sussex.

What affects the quote in Upper Horsebridge
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The product the joint needs
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you are unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
What to tell us for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- How we’d reach the joints
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Roughly how big the job is
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is. Whenever you are ready, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Why deal with it now?
Leaving skirting gaps until the next decorating job lets dirt and draughts in. Sealing them now is a short job in most rooms. Around Upper Horsebridge, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
Doing several joints on one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

DIY versus a professional finish
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Surface by surface
Concrete floor joints
We clean concrete joints out thoroughly before sealing, vacuuming them clean. We fit backing where needed.
Wet room and bathroom floors
Bathroom floors meet baths, trays, panels and skirting. We seal them with anti-fungal sanitary silicone to keep water out of the edges.

What else we do in Upper Horsebridge
Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
- Do not slide heavy items over sealed joints
- Do not fill floor joints with caulk where they move or get wet
Keep heavy furniture from dragging across the joints. Dragging can tear the bead before it has fully cured.
Concrete joints damaged by traffic get worse quickly. Early resealing helps keep the joint intact and the surface smoother.
New homes and floors in Upper Horsebridge
Floors around East Sussex run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they do not all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
If you let a flat or house near Polegate station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty. If you look after a building such as Hawkes Farm Academy, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.
