Common questions in Christmas Common
Will you come out to Christmas Common?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is Christmas Common in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Christmas Common is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.
Can you match the sealant colour?
In most cases you can choose. We will tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before we start.
When can I walk on the floor?
Follow the cure time we give you. Feet are generally fine first, then mopping, then heavy wheels in most cases.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes: twelve months. If anything isn’t right with the work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.
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 mention it when you get a quote.
Which products do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what we are using.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need.
How we handle floor joint sealing in Christmas Common
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. We work on tiled floors, wet room & bathroom floors and concrete floor joints, and people most often call us about cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint and gaps opening between the floor and skirting.
Around Christmas Common, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

How the job changes by surface
Concrete floor joints
Hard wheels break down the edges of open joints. Sealing them supports the edges and stops debris collecting.
Skirting boards
Skirting pulls away from the floor as floors shrink and settle. A flexible sealant closes the gap without cracking painted or coloured to match.
How it works
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we are doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. The work normally takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes. In a small place like Christmas Common, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
- We remove what’s in the joint now.
- We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.
- We apply the sealant in a colour that suits the floor.
- We tool it neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Advice
DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
New homes and floors in Christmas Common
Across Oxfordshire, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and each moves in its own way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of the Nativity, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep dirt out of the joints
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
Keep heavy traffic off resealed concrete joints for the cure time we give you. Cone off the area if needed while it cures.
Small gaps are quick to seal. Ignored, they fill with dirt and open further and are harder to clean out.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We also work for property managers and facilities teams in Christmas Common and across Oxfordshire. Several sites can be quoted together, and we’re fully insured.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Do you need floor joint sealing in Christmas Common?
Caulk is the usual filler for skirting. It cracks where there’s movement or water so the gap reappears.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Failed joint filler in concrete floors
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Icknield Community College, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.
