About our floor joint sealing in Leafield
We seal floor joints in homes, offices and commercial buildings across Leafield. We start by checking the floor type and the joint, because the right sealant depends on both. Common call-outs are for threshold joints that have opened or worn and concrete floor joints that have broken down, across skirting boards, commercial floors and wet room & bathroom floors.
Older homes in small places like Leafield often have timber floors that move with the seasons, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

What happens if it’s left?
Dirt builds up in open joints. A neat sealed joint is easier to clean and look tidier. In a small place like Leafield, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear quote before work begins.

Your questions about floor joint sealing in Leafield
Is Leafield within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you cover Leafield for floor joint sealing?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Leafield is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status.
What do you put in the joint?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Does someone need to be in?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, because it fails. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
Joints and finishes in Leafield homes
Floors around Oxfordshire run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they do not all move the same way. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
Letting a property close to Ascott-Under-Wychwood station? Then gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies. For buildings such as Church of St Michael and All Angels, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Don’t fill floor joints with caulk where they move or get wet
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
- Use furniture pads near skirting
- Keep dirt out of the joints
Do not paint over silicone. If the joint will be painted, tell us beforehand so we use a paintable sealant.
Once concrete joint edges start to break, wheels make it worse. Early resealing helps keep the joint intact and the floor safer.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we look over the joints with you first. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. The work generally takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes. For a village or hamlet like Leafield, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
- Any old caulk, grout or sealant is raked or cut out.
- We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.
- We apply the sealant in a colour that suits the floor.
- The joint is tooled neatly and the cure time explained.
Before we arrive
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

What we are called out for in Leafield
An open floor joint fills with dirt and water. In kitchens and bathrooms, mop water gets into the gap and behind skirting and plinths.
Look out for any of the following:
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
If you look after a building such as Leafield Church of England Primary School, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.

What else we do in Leafield
DIY sealant or a professional job?
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.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
