About our floor joint sealing in Long Hanborough
We seal floor joints in homes, offices and commercial buildings across Long Hanborough. Each job starts with looking at the floor and the gap, because the right sealant depends on both. We work on tiled floors, thresholds and skirting boards, and the jobs we see most are concrete floor joints that have broken down and open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards.
For a new home in or near Long Hanborough, it’s worth checking the sealant early. Gaps at skirtings, shower seals pulling away and missing mastic around frames are common snags.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Can you help a landlord with a rental near Combe station?

Is Long Hanborough within the area you cover?
Yes, Long Hanborough is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.

How do I get a quote for floor joint sealing in Long Hanborough?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Call for a quick quote.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status, and we’re fully insured.
Do you seal kitchen plinths to the floor?
Yes. Where a floor meets a bath panel, kitchen plinth or skirting in a wet area, we use a flexible silicone so water can’t get into the gap.
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.
What do you put in the joint?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We will tell you what we are using and why.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
What sealant work cannot fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Water getting under the tiles from elsewhere
- Movement too big for a sealant joint
- Subfloor problems that need a flooring contractor
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we seal

What we do, step by step
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The job generally takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes. A visit to Long Hanborough is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- We start by looking at the floor, the gap and the traffic, then choose the product.
- Old caulk, grout or sealant is removed from the joint.
- We clean and vacuum the joint and fit backing where the depth needs setting.
- A flexible sealant, or a floor-joint sealant for concrete, is applied in a colour to suit.
- Finally we tool it smooth and explain when the floor can be used and cleaned.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

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 Long Hanborough, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Why Long Hanborough clients choose us
- Tidy, careful work
- Every job guaranteed for a year
- Trusted Arbo and Everbuild sealants
- ARBOMaster approved applicator
Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
- Keep dirt out of the joints
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
Mop with a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor. Less water at the edges helps the joints last.
Water getting into floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens can damage what’s underneath. Resealing early keeps it out.
Common problems we fix in Long Hanborough
An open floor joint fills with dirt and water. In kitchens and bathrooms, mop water gets into the gap and can reach the subfloor.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
Community buildings like Christ Church are part of the picture too: floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

How the job changes by surface
Concrete floor joints
Hard wheels break down the edges of open joints. A sealed joint protects the edges and stops debris collecting.
Thresholds
Threshold joints get a lot of feet, so we choose a hard-wearing, flexible product and tool it flush.
Joints and finishes in Long Hanborough homes
Across Oxfordshire, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they do not all move the same way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
Rented homes near Combe station change hands often, and a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant. If you look after a building such as Hanborough Manor CofE School, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.
