Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Botley
The gap under a skirting board often opens as floors and walls move with the seasons. Caulk tends to crack there, so we close it with a flexible sealant instead. We work on wet room & bathroom floors, tiled floors and commercial floors, and people most often call us about caulk that has cracked where the floor moves and threshold joints that have opened or worn.
Somewhere as small as Botley, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

Different surfaces, different methods
Commercial floors
Commercial washrooms and kitchens have floor joints that get wet constantly. We reseal them with a sealant suited to wet areas.
Wet room and bathroom floors
Mop water gets into any open joint at the edge of a bathroom floor. A neat silicone joint keeps it out.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Why deal with it now?
Not every floor joint takes the same sealant: flexible sealant for skirting and tiles, silicone in wet areas, and floor-joint products for concrete. Using the wrong one is why many floor joints fail. In a small place like Botley, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Why book with us
- A sealant colour to suit the surroundings
- A 12-month guarantee on all work
- Arbo and Everbuild products
- ARBOMaster approved applicator

DIY versus a professional finish
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into 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.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Floor joint sealing around Botley
Floors around Buckinghamshire run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and each moves in its own way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
For buildings such as St George's Church, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. If you let a flat or house near Amersham station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.

A floor laid tight to the walls has no room to move. As it expands, the edges lift or crack.
People usually contact us after spotting something like this:
- Failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
Schools such as Ley Hill School are buildings too, and entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

Your questions about floor joint sealing in Botley
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Amersham station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders, and several properties can go on one quote. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Can you do floor joint sealing in Botley?
Yes, Botley is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing.
Can you add a movement joint to a tiled floor?
Often, yes. A crack along a grout line often means the floor needs room to move. We rake out that line and seal it with flexible sealant.
Is there any odour?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
Do you work on commercial floors?
Yes. We reseal concrete floor joints in commercial and industrial units. We’ll talk through the traffic and choose a sealant suited to it.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
When can I walk on the floor?
That varies with the sealant and the room. Before we leave, we tell you when it can be walked on, mopped and driven over so you can plan.
What sealant do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
