Your questions about floor joint sealing in Marlow Bottom
Can you do floor joint sealing in Marlow Bottom?
Yes, Marlow Bottom is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing.
Do you cover smaller places like Marlow Bottom?
Yes. Marlow Bottom is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Is caulk good enough for skirting?
Caulk is fine for dry joints that do not move, but it cracks where there’s movement or water. We use a flexible sealant for most skirting and floor joints.
Where do you work from?
We’re based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
How soon can the floor be mopped?
That varies with the sealant and the room. We give you the times for walking, cleaning and traffic when we finish.
How it works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, do the work and clear up. Most jobs take a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. Somewhere like Marlow Bottom needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We start by looking at the floor, the gap and the traffic, then choose the product.
- We take out any old caulk, sealant or grout along the line.
- The joint is vacuumed clean, with backing fitted wherever depth matters.
- The sealant goes in, chosen for the floor and coloured to suit it.
- Finally we tool it smooth and explain when the floor can be used and cleaned.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the work

Related advice
When to call us in Marlow Bottom
Concrete floor joints break down when traffic runs over open or failed joints. Pallet trucks and trolleys knock the edges away.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
Managing a site like Burford School? Then floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
What happens if it’s left?
Leaving skirting gaps until the next decorating job lets dirt and draughts in. It’s a quick job to seal them now for most homes. Older cottages and farmhouses around Marlow Bottom can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.
What you get with us
- A sealant colour to suit the surroundings
- White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows
- Domestic, commercial and hotel work
- More than 20 years in sealant work

DIY versus a professional finish
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. All the old material has to come out first.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Joints and finishes in Marlow Bottom homes
Floors around Buckinghamshire 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.
Letting a property close to Marlow station? Then gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies. Community buildings like St Mary the Virgin are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

When it is not the sealant
In fairness, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Tiles that have lifted or broken
- Water getting under the tiles from elsewhere
- Cracked or broken concrete slabs
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Tiled floors
- Thresholds
- Commercial floors
- Concrete floor joints
- Skirting boards
- Wet room & bathroom floors
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
- Don’t fill floor joints with caulk where they move or get wet
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
Avoid flooding the floor when you clean. Keeping the edges drier helps the sealant last longer.
A gap under the skirting collects dust and lets draughts through. Sealing it keeps the room tidier and the edges sound.
