Floor joint sealing in Faringdon
Thresholds are where two floors, or a floor and a door, meet. We use a flexible product that suits both floors. If you are dealing with tiled floors with no room to move and open joints around bathroom floor edges, we can put it right, on wet room & bathroom floors, thresholds and concrete floor joints alike.
In and around Faringdon, floors range from older timber boards to tiles and newer finishes, from timber that moves with the seasons to tiles laid on concrete. Skirting and threshold joints need a sealant that suits the floor.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

How it works
On the day, we look over the joints with you first. We protect the surfaces around the joints before work begins. The work generally takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint. In a smaller place like Faringdon, 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.
- We look at the gap and the floor type and agree the right sealant.
- Old caulk, grout or sealant is removed from the joint.
- We clean and vacuum the joint and fit backing where the depth needs setting.
- We apply a flexible sealant, or a floor-joint product on concrete, in a suitable colour.
- The joint is tooled to a neat finish and we tell you when it can take feet and a mop.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:
- When we can work, for business premises
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The number of rooms or windows

A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

Common questions in Faringdon
What guarantee comes with floor joint sealing in Faringdon?
All our work, in Faringdon and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you cover Faringdon for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Faringdon is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing.
How long will you be here?
Typically it takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes. Bigger jobs take longer, and we’ll tell you how long to expect.
My floor grout keeps cracking in a line. Can you help?
Often, yes. Where a floor needs one, we rake out grout along the right line and replace it with flexible sealant in a matching colour. If tiles are loose, that needs fixing first.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
Do you seal warehouse floor joints?
Yes, from warehouses and units to offices and shops. We can plan around your opening times with out-of-hours work where needed.
Will there be a smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
What should I tell you?
Let us know what needs doing and where. We will ask anything else we need to know.
Joints and finishes in Faringdon homes
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.
For buildings such as Church of All Saints, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
- Keep dirt out of the joints
Lift furniture rather than sliding it over sealed joints. Dragging can tear the bead before it has fully cured.
Concrete joints damaged by traffic get worse quickly. Early resealing helps keep the joint intact.
What sealant work can’t fix
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Tiles that have lifted or broken
- Failed waterproofing under a wet room floor
- Concrete repairs beyond the joint
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Why it’s worth doing now in Faringdon
Not every floor joint takes the same sealant: flexible sealant for skirting and tiles, silicone in wet areas, and floor-joint products for concrete. Getting that choice wrong is a common reason joints fail. In an older home around Faringdon, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.

DIY versus a professional finish
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
