Landlord and commercial work in Dean Court
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Floor joint sealing in Dean Court, done properly
Wet-area floor joints keep water out of the gap behind skirting and plinths. A flexible silicone seal keeps it out so water and dirt cannot get in. We’re often asked to deal with rigid edge joints in tiled floors and worn sealant at door thresholds, on concrete floor joints, skirting boards and commercial floors.
Homes around Dean Court range from older cottages to newer houses, and their floors range just as widely, each moving in its own way. The sealant at skirtings and thresholds has to suit the floor it meets.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What we do, step by step
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. A visit to Dean Court is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as 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.
- The joint is vacuumed clean, with backing fitted wherever depth matters.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Related advice
Leave it or put it right?
Waiting until the next redecoration can mean a winter of draughts and dirt in the gaps. Sealing them now is a short job for most homes. In an older home around Dean Court, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
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’ll explain the quote if you ask.

Questions from Dean Court
I let a flat near Oxford station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Can you do floor joint sealing in Dean Court?
Yes, Dean Court is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
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.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes. Every job comes with our one-year guarantee.
Are you insured?
Yes, we are fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Why not just use caulk?
Not where the floor moves or gets wet. Caulk cracks as the floor moves. A flexible sealant lasts longer there.
How long does the job take?
It depends on the size of the job, but as a guide it takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple:
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
- Do not slide heavy items over sealed joints
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
Avoid flooding the floor when you clean. Less water at the edges helps the joints last.
Sealing a gap while it’s small is a quick job. Left alone, they collect dirt and widen.
What floor joint sealing looks like in Dean Court
Floors around Oxfordshire run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they do not all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
Rented homes near Oxford station change hands often, and open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty. If you look after a building such as Matthew Arnold School, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early. For buildings such as St Andrew's, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
