FAQs for Appleford-on-Thames
Do you work for landlords with property near Appleford station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do you cover Appleford-on-Thames for floor joint sealing?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Appleford-on-Thames is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do the sealants smell?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is generally more efficient.
Do I need to be at home?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
How long does the job take?
Typically it takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we’ll say how long yours will take.
Do you seal floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens?
Yes. We cut out any old sealant or caulk and reseal with flexible silicone in a colour to suit.
Floor joint sealing in Appleford-on-Thames
Where skirting is painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. For bathrooms and kitchens, silicone is usually the better choice, which isn’t made to be painted. If you are dealing with open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards and grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant, we can help, whatever the surface.
For a small place like Appleford-on-Thames, the journey and access are planned in advance, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Floor joint sealing around Appleford-on-Thames
Floors around Oxfordshire run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they don’t all move the same way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
Rented homes near Appleford station change hands often, and a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant. If you look after a building such as Didcot Girls' School, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up. Community buildings like Church of St Peter and St Paul are part of the picture too: floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

What the job involves on each surface
Wet room and bathroom floors
In a wet room, the floor-to-wall joint is a key line of defence. It’s resealed with a sanitary silicone, and we will tell you if the leak seems to come from elsewhere.
Concrete floor joints
Open concrete joints chip at the edges when wheels cross them. Sealing them supports the edges and stops debris collecting.
What happens on the day
At the end, we look at the finished work together. The visit itself generally takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors, depending on how much there is to do. In a small place like Appleford-on-Thames, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- 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.
- We tool the joint neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Tell us about any water getting in

DIY versus a professional finish
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
- Keep dirt out of the joints
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
Silicone sealant is not made to take paint. If you plan to paint, we will use a paintable product.
Open skirting gaps let in draughts, dust and sometimes insects. Sealing it keeps the room tidier and the edges sound.
What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Floors that are uneven or need levelling
- Loose, hollow or cracked tiles, which need a tiler
- Cracked or broken concrete slabs
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
