Common questions in Upperton
Do you work for landlords with property near Eastbourne station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Is Upperton in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Upperton is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing.
Where are you based?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Do you seal floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens?
Yes. These joints get wet every time the floor is cleaned, so we seal them with silicone suited to wet areas.
How long before the joint can take traffic?
It depends on the product and the conditions. Before we leave, we tell you when it can be walked on, mopped and driven over.
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. Every job comes with our one-year guarantee.
Can you use decorators’ caulk instead?
Caulk is fine for dry joints that don’t move, but it splits where the joint moves or gets wet. We use a flexible sealant for most skirting and floor joints.
Floor joint sealing in Upperton
Tiled floors can crack along the grout when there’s no room for movement. Where one is needed, we rake out the grout along the right line and replace it with flexible sealant in a matching colour. We work on wet room & bathroom floors, skirting boards and thresholds, and people most often call us about chipped and open joints in warehouse floors and threshold joints that have opened or worn.
Homes around Upperton range from older cottages to newer houses, and their floors range just as widely, each moving in its own way. The sealant at skirtings and thresholds has to suit the floor it meets.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

Floor joint sealing around Upperton
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. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Mary, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. Letting a property close to Eastbourne station? Then gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies. Managing a site like St Thomas A Becket Catholic Primary School? Then entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.

What sealant work cannot fix

- Leaks from a failed tanking system
- Damaged concrete that needs breaking out and repairing

- Skirting boards
- Wet room & bathroom floors
- Thresholds
- Commercial floors
- Concrete floor joints

Different surfaces, different methods
Concrete floor joints
Old filler, dust and debris are cleaned out of the joint. We fit backing where needed.
Commercial floors
Shops, offices, warehouses and units all have floor joints that need sealing. We talk through the traffic and choose a sealant suited to it.
What affects the quote in Upperton
We don’t publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- How much there is to do
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The product the joint needs
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote.
What we need to know
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- If someone has resealed it before
- The problem you’ve noticed
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we will explain how we’d tackle it. When it suits you, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
- Look at floor joints each spring
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
Follow the cure time before walking on or cleaning the joint. Light foot traffic is usually fine sooner than wet cleaning or wheels so we will give you each time.
A gap under the skirting collects dust and lets draughts through. Sealing it early keeps the room cleaner and stops it getting worse.
How it works
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The work itself takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. Parking around Upperton is usually easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- We start by looking at the floor, the gap and the traffic, then choose the product.
- Old caulk, grout or sealant is removed from the joint.
- 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
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
