Floor joint sealing in East Hendred, done properly
Floors move, and the joint where they meet a wall, skirting, threshold or another floor has to move with them. Skirting-to-floor gaps, tiled floor joints and concrete joints are all sealed with a sealant suited to the movement and traffic. We’re often asked to deal with failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels and dirt and water collecting in open floor joints, on commercial floors, concrete floor joints and skirting boards.
Around East Hendred, 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.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard.

How the job changes by surface
Tiled floors
When grout cracks along a straight line, the floor is telling you it needs to move. That line is converted to a flexible joint.
Skirting boards
Skirting pulls away from the floor as floors shrink and settle. We seal them with a flexible sealant rather than caulk in a colour to suit.

New homes and floors in East Hendred
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.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Augustine of Canterbury, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. Rented homes near Didcot Parkway station change hands often, and gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.

What we’re called out for in East Hendred
Decorators’ caulk is often used along skirting because it’s cheap and paintable. In a joint that moves or gets wet, it splits, which is why so many skirting joints look broken.
Look out for any of the following:
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
If you look after a building such as The Hendreds Church of England School, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.

Why it’s worth doing now in East Hendred
Water that gets past a floor joint can damage the floor beneath. Sealing them now keeps the problem at the surface. In a small place like East Hendred, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What you get with us
- Old sealant always removed completely
- Full insurance on every job
- You choose the colour before work begins
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet

FAQs for East Hendred
Is East Hendred in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and East Hendred is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Is East Hendred within the area you cover?
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.
Do you seal floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens?
Yes. Floor edges in bathrooms and kitchens get wet at every clean, so we seal them with silicone suited to wet areas.
How long does floor joint sealing take?
A typical job takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors, including preparation and clearing up. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Why not just use caulk?
Only on dry joints that don’t move. It splits once the floor shifts, so the gap comes back. A flexible sealant lasts longer there.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
In most cases you can choose. We will explain which colours are available and agree one before work begins.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
