Floor joint sealing in Gawcott, done properly
Thresholds are where two floors, or a floor and a door, meet. We seal them with a flexible sealant suited to the floor finishes either side in a colour to suit. We work on commercial floors, skirting boards and concrete floor joints, and the jobs we see most are cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens and concrete floor joints that have broken down.
In a village or hamlet like Gawcott, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
- Use furniture pads near skirting
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
- Do not paint over silicone
Silicone sealant isn’t made to take paint. If the joint will be painted, tell us beforehand so we use a paintable sealant.
A gap under the skirting collects dust and lets draughts through. Sealing it keeps the room tidier and the edges sound.
The process
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. Somewhere like Gawcott needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We start by looking at the floor, the gap and the traffic, then choose the product.
- Old caulk, grout or sealant is removed from the joint.
- The joint is cleaned, vacuumed and backed where depth needs controlling.
- A flexible sealant, or a floor-joint sealant for concrete, is applied in a colour to suit.
- Finally we tool it smooth and explain when the floor can be used and cleaned.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Move anything stored near the joints

Advice
FAQs for Gawcott
What guarantee comes with floor joint sealing in Gawcott?
All our work, in Gawcott and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can you do floor joint sealing in Gawcott?
Yes, Gawcott is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing.
Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
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 doesn’t.
Do you seal warehouse floor joints?
Yes, including warehouses, units, shops and offices. We can plan around your opening times with out-of-hours work where needed.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
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 soon can the floor be mopped?
We give you a cure time for each joint. Light use comes first, cleaning and heavy traffic later, depending on the product.
What sealant work cannot fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Cracked or broken concrete slabs
- Leaks from a failed tanking system
- Movement too big for a sealant joint
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly.

How the job changes by surface
Wet room and bathroom floors
Bathroom floors meet baths, trays, panels and skirting. They’re sealed with a flexible, anti-fungal silicone to keep water out of the edges.
Commercial floors
Commercial washrooms and kitchens have floor joints that get wet constantly. We reseal them with a sealant suited to wet areas.
Do you need floor joint sealing in Gawcott?
Grout is rigid, so a tiled floor with nowhere to move cracks along a grout line. Cracks often run straight along a line of joints, where a flexible joint should have been.
The most common problems we see are:
- Open joints that fill with dirt
- Chipped and open joints in warehouse floors
- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
For buildings such as Church of Holy Trinity, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.
What your quote should include
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- How long the guarantee is
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- How long to leave it before use

Should I try it myself first?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Floor joint sealing around Gawcott
Floors around Buckinghamshire run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and each moves in its own way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
If you look after a building such as Roundwood Primary School, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.
