Why it’s worth doing now in Great Tew
The right product depends on the floor and the traffic: flexible sealant for skirting and tiles, silicone in wet areas, and floor-joint products for concrete. Using the wrong one is why many floor joints fail. In a small place like Great Tew, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.

Floor joint sealing in Great Tew
Gaps along the bottom of skirting are common in new and older homes alike. Decorators’ caulk normally cracks where there’s movement, so we close it with a flexible sealant instead. We are often asked to deal with skirting caulk that keeps splitting and failed joint filler in concrete floors, on thresholds, tiled floors and wet room & bathroom floors.
Older homes in small places like Great Tew often have timber floors that move with the seasons, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

What floor joint sealing looks like in Great Tew
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 building such as Great Tew County Primary School, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Michael and All Angels, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

The process
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you. We protect the surfaces around the joints before we start. Most jobs take a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. In a small place like Great Tew, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We clear the edges of the floor so the joints are easy to reach.
- We take out the cracked caulk, grout or old sealant.
- Edges are cleaned and dried.
- A flexible sealant suited to the floor is applied and smooth it.
- Finally, we check the work and talk you through aftercare.
How to prepare

Landlord and commercial work in Great Tew
We also work for property managers and facilities teams in Great Tew and across Oxfordshire. We can quote a run of properties together, and we are fully insured.
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
- Use furniture pads near skirting
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
In commercial units, keep pallet trucks and heavy wheels off new joints until they’ve cured. Mark the area off so drivers avoid it.
Once concrete joint edges start to break, wheels make it worse. Sealing them early protects the edges.
FAQs for Great Tew
Can you do floor joint sealing in Great Tew?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Great Tew is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.
Is floor joint sealing in Great Tew guaranteed?
All our work, in Great Tew and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Why not just use caulk?
Only on dry joints that don’t move. Caulk cracks as the floor moves and the gap reopens. A flexible sealant lasts longer there.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
Timber floors and skirting shrink and swell through the year. A flexible sealant closes the gap without cracking like caulk.
Do you seal kitchen plinths to the floor?
Yes. The old joint comes out and a flexible silicone replaces it in a colour to suit.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access.
How the job changes by surface
Skirting boards
If the skirting is painted, a paintable flexible sealant works well. In wet rooms and kitchens, silicone is generally better.
Concrete floor joints
Sawn joints in concrete floors control where it cracks. We reseal them with a floor-joint product suited to the traffic.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again.
