Leave it or put it right?
Filling a skirting gap with caulk looks fine at first, but the movement soon cracks it. A flexible sealant stretches instead and keeps the joint sealed. In an older home around Littlemore, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.
Why book with us
- We never seal over old sealant
- Over 20 years’ experience
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- Sealant colour chosen to suit
Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Littlemore
Across Littlemore, we seal floor and skirting joints in homes and businesses. We start by checking the floor type and the joint, since that decides which sealant suits. Typical jobs include caulk that has cracked where the floor moves and open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards, on commercial floors, wet room & bathroom floors and skirting boards.
Where new homes go up in smaller places like Littlemore, it’s often a small development or a single plot. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly from day one.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Littlemore and across Oxfordshire.

Joints and finishes in Littlemore homes
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 let a flat or house near Radley station, a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Emmanuel Christian School, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up. Community buildings like Church of St Mary and St Nicholas are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

Littlemore: your questions answered
Is Littlemore within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Radley station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we will put it right.
How long does floor joint sealing take?
Typically it takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we’ll tell you how long to expect.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
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.
Can you add a movement joint to a tiled floor?
Often, yes, at the edges and along suitable lines. We remove the grout and seal the line with flexible sealant.
How soon can the floor be mopped?
Follow the cure time we give you. Light use comes first, cleaning and heavy traffic later, depending on the product.

Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we do not rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. In a smaller place like Littlemore, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.

Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
- Don’t fill floor joints with caulk where they move or get wet
- Keep dirt out of the joints
Avoid flooding the floor when you clean. Less water at the edges helps the joints last.
Open skirting gaps let in draughts, dust and sometimes insects. Sealing it early keeps the room cleaner.
