About our floor joint sealing in Kidlington
In commercial and industrial units, concrete floor joints take a hammering from wheels and traffic. We reseal them with a product chosen for the movement and the traffic. We work on wet room & bathroom floors, skirting boards and commercial floors, and the jobs we see most are gaps opening between the floor and skirting and failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels.
In and around Kidlington, floors range from older timber boards to tiles and newer finishes, from timber that moves with the seasons to tiles laid on concrete. The sealant at skirtings and thresholds has to suit the floor it meets.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Different surfaces, different methods
Thresholds
Two different floors meeting at a threshold move differently. We bridge them with a flexible bead.
Tiled floors
Large or heated tiled floors need room to move. Where needed, a line of grout is replaced with flexible sealant coloured to suit.
How the visit works
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. A visit to Kidlington is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- We clear the edges of the floor so the joints are easy to reach.
- We take out the cracked caulk, grout or old sealant.
- We clean and dry the edges of the joint.
- A flexible sealant suited to the floor is applied and tooled.
- Finally, we check the work and talk you through aftercare.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

FAQs for Kidlington
Do you work for landlords with property near Oxford Parkway station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders, and several properties can go on one quote. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Kidlington?
Yes. Kidlington is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Where do you work from?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover Kidlington.
Why not just use caulk?
Because caulk cracks where there’s movement or water. Floor edges move through the year, so we use a flexible sealant that stretches.
Do you seal floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens?
Yes. The old joint comes out and a flexible silicone replaces it.
Can you add a movement joint to a tiled floor?
Usually, yes. Straight cracks in grout often show where a movement joint was needed. We replace that grout with a flexible joint.
How long will you be here?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours, depending on the length of joint. Bigger jobs take longer, and we’ll say how long yours will take.
Can you reseal concrete floor joints in an industrial unit?
Yes, including warehouses, units, shops and offices. We can plan around your opening times, and out-of-hours work can be arranged.
Why deal with it now?
Not every floor joint takes the same sealant: 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. Around Kidlington, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

Floor joint sealing in Kidlington: local notes
Floors around Oxfordshire run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they don’t all move the same way. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
Community buildings like Church of St Mary are part of the picture too: floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Thomas More Catholic Primary School, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.

Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
- Do not paint over silicone
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
Silicone sealant is not made to take paint. If you plan to paint, we will use a paintable product.
Water getting into floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens can damage what’s underneath. A sound seal stops that happening.
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Water getting under the tiles from elsewhere
- Large cracks that need a surveyor
- Cracked or broken concrete slabs
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
