Questions from Duns Tew
Is Duns Tew in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Duns Tew is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Heyford station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
When can I walk on the floor?
We will tell you before we leave. That depends on the product, and light foot traffic is usually fine before wet cleaning or wheels.
Can grout be replaced with sealant on a tiled floor?
Often, yes, at the edges and along suitable lines. The grout is raked out and replaced with a flexible sealant in a colour to suit, giving the floor room to move.
Can sealant along the skirting be painted?
It depends on the sealant, so let us know first. Joints that will be painted get a paintable product.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned.
Why has a gap opened under my skirting?
Floors shrink and settle, especially in the first year or two and through the heating season pulls the skirting and floor apart. Caulk tends to crack; a flexible sealant does not.
How long does the job take?
Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the length of joint. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
How we handle floor joint sealing in Duns Tew
Large tiled floors, and those over underfloor heating, often need movement joints. We can turn a line of grout into a movement joint by replacing it with flexible sealant in a matching colour. We are often asked to deal with failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels and perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout, on concrete floor joints, skirting boards and thresholds.
For a small place like Duns Tew, the journey and access are planned in advance, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

What we do, step by step
Once we are on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a morning or an afternoon for most homes. Somewhere as small as Duns Tew, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
- Any old caulk, grout or sealant is raked or cut out.
- We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.
- The chosen sealant goes in, coloured to suit the floor.
- The joint is tooled neatly and the cure time explained.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Move anything stored near the joints

Community buildings like Church of St Mary Magdalene are part of the picture too: floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

When to call us in Duns Tew
A floor laid tight to the walls has no room to move. As it expands, the edges lift or crack, and the sealant or grout breaks.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
- Failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
Letting a property close to Heyford station? Then open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.
Questions to ask before booking
- What the cure time is
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- Whether VAT is included
How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
Avoid flooding the floor when you clean. Keeping the edges drier helps the sealant last longer.
Water getting into floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens can damage what’s underneath. A sound seal stops that happening.

What else we do in Duns Tew
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
When it isn’t the sealant
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Water getting under the tiles from elsewhere
- Structural movement or subsidence
- Floors that are uneven or need levelling
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
