A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
About our floor joint sealing in Datchet
Floor joint sealing is mostly about choosing the right product and preparing the joint. We remove what’s there first, the joint is cleaned and backed where needed, then the new sealant goes in. Typical jobs include skirting caulk that keeps splitting and gaps opening between the floor and skirting, on concrete floor joints, skirting boards and commercial floors.
In and around Datchet, 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.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

What we do, step by step
All our tools and materials come with us in the van. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the length of joint. In a smaller place like Datchet, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- The room is cleared along the joints so we can reach them.
- Old material is removed from the joint.
- Edges are cleaned and dried.
- A flexible sealant suited to the floor is applied.
- We check the joints and explain the aftercare.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Signs you need floor joint sealing in Datchet
New floors settle once they’re in use. Gaps at the edges appear in the first year or so.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
For buildings such as Church of St Mary, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

Floor joint sealing in Datchet: local notes
Floors around Slough run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they don’t 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 Datchet St Mary's CofE Primary School, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early. If you let a flat or house near Datchet station, a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant.

How much does floor joint sealing cost in Datchet?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You’ll get a clear quote before we start.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Usually, yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours, and we agree the colour with you before we start.
Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
Floors shrink and settle, especially in the first year or two and through the heating season opens the gap. Rigid fillers split, so we use a flexible sealant.
Do you seal floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens?
Yes. Floor edges in bathrooms and kitchens get wet at every clean, so a flexible silicone is the right choice.
How long does floor joint sealing take?
Typically it takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we will tell you how long to expect.
Can you use decorators’ caulk instead?
Caulk can’t cope with movement or water. Skirting joints move with the floor, so we use a flexible sealant that stretches.
What the job involves on each surface
Concrete floor joints
Hard wheels break down the edges of open joints. Sealing them supports the edges.
Tiled floors
Perimeter joints in tiled floors should be sealant, not grout. We rake out any grout there and reseal.
