Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
Check the joints after the first winter. If anything has opened, it’s easy to reseal.
Water getting into floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens can damage what’s underneath. A sound seal stops that happening.
Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the 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.
Why act early in Charney Bassett
Floor joints left open collect dirt that’s hard to clean out, and they look untidy. A neat sealed joint is easier to clean. In a small place like Charney Bassett, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
What you get with us
- Colour agreed with you before work begins
- Neat joints and a tidy finish

What floor joint sealing looks like in Charney Bassett
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.
In and around Charney Bassett, as anywhere, good floor joint sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Peter, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

How the job changes by surface
Skirting boards
If the skirting is painted, a paintable flexible sealant works well. Where water is involved, silicone is the better choice.
Tiled floors
Tiled floors need movement joints at edges and across large areas. We replace grout with flexible sealant along the right lines coloured to suit.
Charney Bassett: your questions answered
Do you cover Charney Bassett for floor joint sealing?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Charney Bassett is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Charney Bassett?
Yes, we do. 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.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, because it fails. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
What should I tell you?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
What causes gaps between the floor and skirting?
Floors and walls move a little with the seasons, and new floors settle. We close it with a flexible sealant that moves with the floor.
Is it worth trying it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
