About our floor joint sealing in Benson
The gap under a skirting board often opens as floors and walls move with the seasons. Decorators’ caulk generally cracks where there’s movement, so we close it with a flexible sealant instead. We are often asked to deal with gaps at thresholds between rooms and concrete floor joints that have broken down, across commercial floors, concrete floor joints and thresholds.
In smaller places like Benson, new homes tend to come as small developments or single plots. The sealant around baths, showers, frames and skirtings needs to be right from the start.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

Floor joint sealing around Benson
Floors around Oxfordshire run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and each moves in its own way. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
Schools such as Benson Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early. Rented homes near Cholsey station change hands often, and gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.

What happens if it’s left?
Water that gets past a floor joint can damage the floor beneath. Dealing with it early keeps the repair to the joint. Homes in smaller places like Benson can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
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. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.

Signs you need floor joint sealing in Benson
Floors and walls move a little with the seasons. In winter, with the heating on, timber dries and gaps open.
People usually contact us when they notice one of these:
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
Community buildings like Church of St Helen are part of the picture too: floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

Your questions about floor joint sealing in Benson
Will you come out to Benson?
Yes, Benson is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you work for landlords with property near Cholsey station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Do you work on commercial floors?
Yes. Concrete floor joints in warehouses and units are part of our work. The product is chosen for the traffic the floor takes.
How long does the job take?
That depends on the amount of work, but most jobs take a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
Can I do it myself?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Will it make a mess?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator.

Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
- Don’t slide heavy items over sealed joints
Mop with a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor. Keeping the edges drier helps the sealant last longer.
Concrete joints damaged by traffic get worse quickly. Sealing them early protects the edges and the floor safer.
Different surfaces, different methods
Skirting boards
Skirting pulls away from the floor as floors shrink and settle. A flexible sealant closes the gap without cracking.
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.
