Your questions about floor joint sealing in Bodicote
Is Bodicote in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Bodicote is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
I let a flat near Banbury station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
How long before the joint can take traffic?
You will get the times before we go. It depends on the sealant, and light foot traffic is usually fine before wet cleaning or wheels.
Will I be able to paint over the new joint?
Where you plan to paint, we do. Silicone in bathrooms and kitchens can’t be painted, so tell us your plans.
Do you work on commercial floors?
Yes, from warehouses and units to offices and shops. We can plan around your opening times with out-of-hours work where needed.
Why has a gap opened under my skirting?
Timber floors and skirting shrink and swell through the year. We close it with a flexible sealant that moves with the floor.
How long does floor joint sealing take?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take a few hours, depending on the length of joint. We’ll tell you when we quote.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
Floor joint sealing in Bodicote, done properly
Where skirting is painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. For bathrooms and kitchens, silicone is generally the better choice. We work on skirting boards, concrete floor joints and tiled floors, and the jobs we see most are open joints that fill with dirt and gaps at thresholds between rooms.
In and around Bodicote, floors range from older timber boards to tiles and newer finishes, each moving in its own way. The sealant at skirtings and thresholds has to suit the floor it meets.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Bodicote and across Oxfordshire.

What we do, step by step
You do not need to clear the whole room or building before we come, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the job takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes for a typical job. In a smaller place like Bodicote, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- First we check the joint and the floor and agree which sealant suits it.
- Old caulk, grout or sealant is removed from the joint.
- The joint is cleaned, vacuumed and backed where depth needs controlling.
- A flexible sealant, or a floor-joint sealant for concrete, is applied in a colour to suit.
- We tool the joint neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Let us know about parking restrictions

What we are called out for in Bodicote
When a tiled floor has no movement joints, the grout takes the strain. Cracks often run straight along a line of joints, showing where a movement joint was needed.
Look out for any of the following:
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
Letting a property close to Banbury station? Then a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant.

- How much experience the applicator has
- What insurance they hold
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
What we cannot put right
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’ll tell you before we start. It won’t solve:
- Damaged concrete that needs breaking out and repairing
- Bouncy or failing floorboards
- Movement too big for a sealant joint
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What else we do in Bodicote
New homes and floors in Bodicote
Floors around Oxfordshire run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and each moves in its own way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
Schools such as Longford Park Primary School are buildings too, and floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St John the Baptist, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

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. Getting that choice wrong is a common reason joints fail. Homes in smaller places like Bodicote can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
Doing several joints on one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bodicote
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
- Don’t slide heavy items over sealed joints
- Keep dirt out of the joints
Check the joints after the first winter. If anything has opened, it’s easy to reseal early on.
Water getting into floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens can damage what’s underneath. Resealing early keeps it out.
