Floor & skirting joints in Jericho, Oxfordshire
Floor joints in Jericho need attention? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant.
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
When it is not the sealant
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:
- Floors that are uneven or need levelling
- A tiled floor that needs relaying
- Failed waterproofing under a wet room floor
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Tiled floors
- Concrete floor joints
- Thresholds
- Commercial floors
- Wet room & bathroom floors
- Skirting boards
About our floor joint sealing in Jericho
Painted skirting can be sealed with a flexible product that can be painted over. For bathrooms and kitchens, silicone is usually the better choice because it handles water. Common call-outs are for gaps opening between the floor and skirting and grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant, on thresholds, wet room & bathroom floors and concrete floor joints.
Where new homes go up in smaller places like Jericho, it’s often a small development or a single plot. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly from day one.
Every job is covered by our 12-month guarantee.

Should I try it myself first?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.

Your questions about floor joint sealing in Jericho
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Oxford station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Is Jericho within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you use decorators’ caulk instead?
Caulk cannot cope with movement or water. Skirting joints move with the floor, so a flexible sealant suits them better.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes, for a year. If anything isn’t right with the work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.
Will you leave a mess?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected.

What we do, step by step
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors, and we explain the cure time before we leave. Parking around Jericho is usually easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- We start by looking at the floor, the gap and the traffic, then choose the product.
- We take out any old caulk, sealant or grout along the line.
- The joint is cleaned, vacuumed and backed where depth needs controlling.
- The sealant goes in, chosen for the floor and coloured to suit it.
- We tool the joint neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Advice
Different surfaces, different methods
Skirting boards
Skirting gaps are one of the most common floor joints we seal. We take out any cracked caulk before sealing.
Concrete floor joints
Open concrete joints chip at the edges when wheels cross them. Sealing them supports the edges.
Why deal with it now?
The right product depends on the floor and the traffic: skirting and tiled floors need flexibility, wet areas need water resistance and concrete needs a product suited to wheels. Using the wrong one is why many floor joints fail. In a smaller place like Jericho, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.

What affects the quote in Jericho
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- The number and length of the joints
- Any working-time requirements on site
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The old material and how stubborn it is
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What to tell us for a quote
You do not need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- How we’d reach the joints
- Whether it has been sealed before
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints.
What floor joint sealing looks like in Jericho
Across Oxfordshire, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and each moves in its own way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
Schools such as St Barnabas' Church of England Aided Primary School are buildings too, and entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic. For buildings such as St Barnabas Church, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. For landlords with property near Oxford station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.
