New homes and floors in Baulking
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. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
Community buildings like Church of St Nicholas are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

How we handle floor joint sealing in Baulking
Across Baulking, we seal floor and skirting joints in homes and businesses. Each job starts with looking at the floor and the gap, since that decides which sealant suits. We are often asked to deal with skirting caulk that keeps splitting and dirt and water collecting in open floor joints, across thresholds, tiled floors and wet room & bathroom floors.
Older homes in small places like Baulking 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’ll sort it.

Is floor joint sealing in Baulking guaranteed?

Where do you work from?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured for every job we do.
Is it worth trying it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
- Don’t fill floor joints with caulk where they move or get wet
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
Mop with a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor. Less water at the edges helps the joints last.
Open skirting gaps let in draughts, dust and sometimes insects. Sealing it keeps the room tidier and the edges sound.
What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The work normally takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere like Baulking needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- The room is cleared along the joints so we can reach them.
- Old material is removed from the joint.
- Edges are cleaned and dried.
- We apply a flexible sealant suited to the floor.
- We check the joints and explain the aftercare.
How to prepare

Why act early in Baulking
An open concrete floor joint gets wider every time something heavy crosses it. Resealing it early protects the edges and keeps the damage down. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Baulking, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The number of rooms or windows
- The product the joint needs
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

Surface by surface
Skirting boards
Gaps between skirting and floor open as timber and floors move. A flexible sealant closes the gap without cracking in a colour to suit.
Thresholds
Thresholds between rooms meet two floors and often a door frame. We seal them with a flexible sealant that suits both sides.
