What happens on the day
You do not need to clear the whole room or building, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors in most cases. Somewhere like Lower Brailes needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We start by checking the floor, the joint and what traffic it takes.
- Any old caulk, grout or sealant is raked or cut out.
- The joint is vacuumed clean and backing fitted where needed.
- We apply the sealant in a colour that suits the floor.
- The joint is tooled neatly and the cure time explained.
Getting ready for the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Floor joint sealing in Lower Brailes, done properly
A threshold joint has to cope with feet, movement and sometimes water. We seal them with a flexible sealant suited to the floor finishes either side so the joint stays neat. Typical jobs include tiled floors with no room to move and caulk that has cracked where the floor moves, on skirting boards, commercial floors and thresholds.
In a village or hamlet like Lower Brailes, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
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.

Your questions about floor joint sealing in Lower Brailes
What guarantee comes with floor joint sealing in Lower Brailes?
All our work, in Lower Brailes and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Do you cover smaller places like Lower Brailes?
Yes. Lower Brailes is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Can you add a movement joint to a tiled floor?
In many cases, yes. Where a floor needs one, we rake out grout along the right line and replace it with flexible sealant coloured to suit. If tiles are loose, that needs fixing first.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, we can. More than one area can go on one quote.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
How soon can the floor be mopped?
We give you a cure time for each joint. Light use comes first, cleaning and heavy traffic later in most cases.
How long does the job take?
That depends on how much there is to do, but most jobs take a morning or an afternoon for most homes. We will tell you when we quote.
Joints and finishes in Lower Brailes 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. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Brailes CofE Primary School, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.

Thresholds
Thresholds take daily traffic, so we choose a hard-wearing, flexible product.
Concrete floor joints
Concrete floors have sawn or formed joints to control cracking. We reseal them with a floor-joint product suited to the traffic.
What affects the cost of floor joint sealing
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Access and height
- How many areas need sealing
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- When we can work, for business premises
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- If someone has resealed it before
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking

What we cannot put right
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Movement too big for a sealant joint
- Subfloor problems that need a flooring contractor
- Failed waterproofing under a wet room floor

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
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.

What we are called out for in Lower Brailes
Floors and walls move a little with the seasons. Heating dries timber and opens gaps along the skirting.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
For buildings such as Church of St George, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.
