About our floor joint sealing in Murcott
In commercial and industrial units, concrete floor joints take a hammering from wheels and traffic. Each is resealed with a floor-joint product suited to what runs over it. We work on concrete floor joints, skirting boards and thresholds, and the jobs we see most are worn sealant at door thresholds and chipped and open joints in warehouse floors.
Around Murcott, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

FAQs for Murcott
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Islip station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Is Murcott within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, always. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Do the sealants smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
What do you put in the joint?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll explain our choice.
What does floor joint sealing cost?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
What happens on the day
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it normally takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint. Somewhere as small as Murcott, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by checking the floor, the joint and what traffic it takes.
- We remove what’s in the joint now.
- The joint is vacuumed clean and backing fitted where needed.
- The chosen sealant goes in, coloured to suit the floor.
- The joint is tooled neatly and the cure time explained.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Keep dirt out of the joints
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
Keep off the joint for the time we give you. Feet are generally fine before mopping or wheeled traffic so we’ll give you each time.
A gap under the skirting collects dust and lets draughts through. Sealing it early keeps the room cleaner and the edges sound.
Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Bouncy or failing floorboards
- Damaged concrete that needs breaking out and repairing
- Tiles that have lifted or broken
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think.

For anyone letting property in or around Murcott, jobs at different addresses can go on one quote. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs.
Different surfaces, different methods
Wet room and bathroom floors
Bathroom floor edges get wet at every clean. A flexible seal stops water running into the gap.
Skirting boards
Skirting-to-floor joints are a regular job for us. The old caulk is removed first so the bead sits on a clean surface.
When to call us in Murcott
Some floors were never given a perimeter gap or movement joint. It pushes against the walls and skirting as it expands, and the sealant or grout breaks.
People generally contact us after spotting one of these:
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
Letting a property close to Islip station? Then a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant.

New homes and floors in Murcott
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. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
Around Murcott, as everywhere, floor joint sealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Near you in Murcott

What happens if it’s left?
Not every floor joint takes the same sealant: flexible sealant for skirting and tiles, silicone in wet areas, and floor-joint products for concrete. Getting that choice wrong is a common reason joints fail. In a small place like Murcott, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
