New homes and floors in California
Across Buckinghamshire, 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 look after a building such as Oak Green School, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic. Community buildings like Church of St Mary are part of the picture too: floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. Rented homes near Aylesbury station change hands often, and gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.

How we handle floor joint sealing in California
Floor joint sealing is mostly about choosing the right product and preparing the joint. Old caulk, grout or failed sealant comes out first, the joint is cleaned and backed where needed, then the new sealant goes in. If you have cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens and open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards, we can put it right, on tiled floors, thresholds and skirting boards alike.
Homes around California range from older cottages to newer houses, and their floors range just as widely, from timber that moves with the seasons to tiles laid on concrete. The sealant at skirtings and thresholds has to suit the floor it meets.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Common questions in California
Can you do floor joint sealing in California?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and California is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Do you work for landlords with property near Aylesbury station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Why has a gap opened under my skirting?
Floors shrink and settle, especially in the first year or two and through the heating season pulls the skirting and floor apart. Caulk tends to crack; a flexible sealant does not.
Does someone need to be in?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Is caulk good enough for skirting?
Only on dry joints that don’t move. It splits once the floor shifts. A flexible sealant is the better choice.
My floor grout keeps cracking in a line. Can you help?
Often, yes, at the edges and along suitable lines. The grout is raked out and replaced with a flexible sealant in a colour to suit, giving the floor room to move.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, always. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.

What else we do in California
Leave it or put it right?
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 smaller place like California, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

What sealant work can’t fix
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Movement too big for a sealant joint
- Loose, hollow or cracked tiles, which need a tiler
- Bouncy or failing floorboards
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- Skirting boards
- Wet room & bathroom floors
- Thresholds
- Concrete floor joints
- Tiled floors
- Commercial floors
What the job involves on each surface
Skirting boards
Skirting pulls away from the floor as floors shrink and settle. We seal them with a flexible sealant rather than caulk painted or coloured to match.
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.
Landlords, agents and businesses in California
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we will give you a quote.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
How we quote for floor joint sealing
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- How much there is to do
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- The type of property
- Whether it has been sealed before
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- The problem you’ve noticed
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email photos if that is easy.
How it works
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and clear up. It normally takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. For a job in California, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- We look at the gap and the floor type and agree the right sealant.
- We take out any old caulk, sealant or grout along the line.
- We clean and vacuum the joint and fit backing where the depth needs setting.
- The sealant goes in, chosen for the floor and coloured to suit it.
- Finally we tool it smooth and explain when the floor can be used and cleaned.
How to prepare
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
Silicone sealant isn’t made to take paint. If the joint will be painted, tell us beforehand so we use a paintable sealant.
Small gaps are quick to seal. Ignored, they fill with dirt and open further over time.
