What affects the quote in Wych Cross
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- How many areas need sealing
- The number and length of the joints
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Any mould that needs treating
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Roughly how big the job is
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- The problem you’ve noticed
- The type of property
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or send an email if you’d rather. Describe what needs sealing and we’ll explain what’s involved before giving you a price.
How we handle floor joint sealing in Wych Cross
Every floor moves a little, so its edges need a joint that can flex. Skirting-to-floor gaps, tiled floor joints and concrete joints are all sealed. We work on tiled floors, wet room & bathroom floors and concrete floor joints, and people most often call us about open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards and perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout.
Older homes in small places like Wych Cross often have timber floors that move with the seasons, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Wych Cross: your questions answered
Do you cover Wych Cross for floor joint sealing?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Wych Cross is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
I let a flat near East Grinstead station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Can sealant along the skirting be painted?
On joints you want to paint, yes. Silicone in bathrooms and kitchens cannot be painted so mention it when you get a quote.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
In most cases you can choose. We will tell you which colours the right product comes in.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before applying anything new.
Which products do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
How long before the joint can take traffic?
We give you a cure time for each joint. Light use comes first, cleaning and heavy traffic later, depending on the product.

What else we do in Wych Cross
When it isn’t the sealant
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Water getting under the tiles from elsewhere
- Floors that are uneven or need levelling
- Concrete repairs beyond the joint
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.

For landlords and businesses
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too in Wych Cross and across East Sussex. Several sites can go on one quote, and we’re fully insured.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
What the job involves on each surface
Skirting boards
Skirting gaps are one of the most common floor joints we seal. We take out any cracked caulk before sealing so the new sealant bonds.
Wet room and bathroom floors
Mop water gets into any open joint at the edge of a bathroom floor. A neat silicone joint keeps it out.
What we do, step by step
At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The visit itself generally takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors, depending on the amount of work. For a village or hamlet like Wych Cross, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We start by checking the floor, the joint and what traffic it takes.
- We remove what’s in the joint now.
- We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.
- We apply the sealant in a colour that suits the floor.
- The joint is tooled neatly and the cure time explained.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Related advice
Leave it or put it right?
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. Using the wrong one is why many floor joints fail. Older cottages and farmhouses around Wych Cross can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first.
Why us?
- Full insurance on every job
- Tidy, careful work
- ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Trusted Arbo and Everbuild sealants

Common problems we fix in Wych Cross
A floor laid tight to the walls has no room to move. As it expands, the edges lift or crack and joints fail.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Open joints that fill with dirt
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
- Failed joint filler in concrete floors
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Greenfields School, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.
