What we do, step by step
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. A visit to Chinnor is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- 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.
- We apply a flexible sealant, or a floor-joint product on concrete, in a suitable colour.
- We tool the joint neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
Before we arrive
- Mention any tricky access
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

How we handle floor joint sealing in Chinnor
Concrete floors in warehouses and units have joints that take heavy wear. We reseal them with a product chosen for the movement and the traffic. If you have gaps at thresholds between rooms and tiled floors with no room to move, we can help.
In and around Chinnor, 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.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Chinnor and across Oxfordshire.

Signs you need floor joint sealing in Chinnor
Grout is rigid, so a tiled floor with nowhere to move cracks along a grout line. You will see a crack running along the grout, where a flexible joint should have been.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
If you look after a building such as St Andrew's Church of England Primary School, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.

Different surfaces, different methods
Commercial floors
In commercial buildings, we can plan floor joint work around opening hours. Out-of-hours working can be arranged if the floor is busy.
Thresholds
Threshold joints get a lot of feet, so we choose a hard-wearing, flexible product and neatly finished.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Floor joint sealing around Chinnor
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.
For buildings such as Church of St Andrew, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. For landlords with property near Princes Risborough station, a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant.

Chinnor: your questions answered
Is Chinnor within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you work for landlords with property near Princes Risborough station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners, and several properties can go on one quote. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Can you add a movement joint to a tiled floor?
Often, yes, where it suits the floor. The grout is raked out and replaced with a flexible sealant in a colour to suit, giving the floor room to move.
How long before the joint can take traffic?
Follow the cure time we give you. Light use comes first, cleaning and heavy traffic later in most cases.
Where are you based?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover Chinnor, along with the rest of our area.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Will you leave a mess?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Do not fill floor joints with caulk where they move or get wet
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
- Don’t paint over silicone
Don’t paint over silicone. If the joint will be painted, tell us beforehand so we use a paintable sealant.
A tiled floor that cracks along a line will keep cracking until it can move. Adding a movement joint early can stop cracks spreading to the tiles.
Why act early in Chinnor
An open concrete floor joint gets wider every time something heavy crosses it. Resealing it early protects the edges. In a smaller place like Chinnor, 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.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
