About our floor joint sealing in Ashampstead
Painted skirting can be sealed with a flexible product that can be painted over. For bathrooms and kitchens, silicone is usually the better choice. If you have grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant and gaps at thresholds between rooms, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Somewhere as small as Ashampstead, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.

How the visit works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, protect the area around them, carry out the job and tidy away. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes. Somewhere as small as Ashampstead, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
- Any old caulk, grout or sealant is raked or cut out.
- We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.
- The chosen sealant goes in, coloured to suit the floor.
- The joint is tooled neatly and the cure time explained.
Before we arrive
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Clear the area around the work
- Let us know about parking restrictions

What we’re called out for in Ashampstead
New floors settle once they’re in use. The edges pull away from the skirting.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
For buildings such as Church of St Clement, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

Floor joint sealing in Ashampstead: local notes
Across Oxfordshire, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial 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 Goring & Streatley station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.

Can I do it myself?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

How the job changes by surface
Tiled floors
The edge of a tiled floor, where it meets the wall or skirting, should be a flexible joint. Grout at the edge is removed and replaced with sealant.
Concrete floor joints
Sawn joints in concrete floors control where it cracks. They’re resealed with a product chosen for what runs over them.
Leave it or put it right?
Open joints along wet floors let water into the subfloor and behind skirting. Dealing with it early keeps the repair to the joint. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Ashampstead, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you’re unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.
