DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
About our floor joint sealing in Garsington
The gap under a skirting board often opens as floors and walls move with the seasons. Decorators’ caulk normally cracks where there’s movement, so we close it with a flexible sealant instead. We work on commercial floors, concrete floor joints and thresholds, and common reasons people get in touch are open joints around bathroom floor edges and caulk that has cracked where the floor moves.
In a village or hamlet like Garsington, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

What affects the cost of floor joint sealing
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- When we can work, for business premises
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The type of sealant required
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Where the property is
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email photos if that is easy.

What we do, step by step
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we do not rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes.

Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.

- Whatever is in the joint now, whether caulk, grout or sealant, comes out.
- The joint is vacuumed clean, with backing fitted wherever depth matters.
- A flexible sealant, or a floor-joint sealant for concrete, is applied in a colour to suit.

Surface by surface
Commercial floors
Shops, offices, warehouses and units all have floor joints that need sealing. The sealant is chosen for the traffic the floor takes.
Wet room and bathroom floors
Mop water gets into any open joint at the edge of a bathroom floor. A neat silicone joint keeps it out.
What floor joint sealing looks like in Garsington
Across Oxfordshire, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they don’t all move the same way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
If you look after a building such as Garsington Church of England Primary School, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up. For buildings such as Church of St Mary, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. Rented homes near Radley station change hands often, and gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.
Garsington is about 4 miles south-east of Oxford, in Oxfordshire. Garsington gets the same service as everywhere we cover: the old material taken out, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee. 443 places in Oxfordshire are on our list.

When it isn’t the sealant
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Movement too big for a sealant joint
- Leaks from a failed tanking system
- A tiled floor that needs relaying
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think before you book.

- Thresholds

What happens if it’s left?
Water that gets past a floor joint can damage the floor beneath. Dealing with it early keeps the repair to the joint. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Garsington, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
In commercial units, keep pallet trucks and heavy wheels off new joints until they’ve cured. Mark the area off so drivers avoid it until it’s ready.
Small gaps are quick to seal. Left alone, they collect dirt and widen.
