Floor joint sealing in Wickstreet, done properly
Floor joint sealing is mostly about choosing the right product and preparing the joint. We remove what’s there first, the joint is cleaned and backed where needed, then the new sealant goes in. If you have chipped and open joints in warehouse floors and open joints around bathroom floor edges, we can help, on thresholds, commercial floors and tiled floors alike.
In a village or hamlet like Wickstreet, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Floor joint sealing in Wickstreet: local notes
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.
If you let a flat or house near Berwick (Sussex) station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Bede's Prep School, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.

- We remove what’s in the joint now.
- We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.

Wickstreet: your questions answered
Will you come out to Wickstreet?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
I let a flat near Berwick (Sussex) station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
How long before the joint can take traffic?
That varies with the sealant and the room. Before we leave, we tell you when it can be walked on, mopped and driven over so there’s no guesswork.
What causes gaps between the floor and skirting?
Timber floors and skirting shrink and swell through the year. We close it with a flexible sealant that moves with the floor.
Can you use decorators’ caulk instead?
Caulk is fine for dry joints that do not move, but it cracks where there’s movement or water. We use a flexible sealant for most skirting and floor joints.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
How long does the job take?
That depends on the amount of work, but most jobs take a morning or an afternoon for most homes. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. All our work carries our 12-month guarantee.

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

Leave it or put it right?
Leaving skirting gaps until the next decorating job lets dirt and draughts in. It’s a quick job to seal them now. Around Wickstreet, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.

Common problems we fix in Wickstreet
When a tiled floor has no movement joints, the grout takes the strain. Cracks often run straight along a line of joints, showing where a movement joint was needed.
The problems people usually mention when they call include:
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
For buildings such as The Parish Church of St Pancras, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.
What to look for in a quote
- Are they insured?
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
