About our floor joint sealing in New Marston
We seal floor joints in homes, offices and commercial buildings across New Marston. We start by checking the floor type and the joint, since that decides which sealant suits. Common call-outs are for cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint and dirt and water collecting in open floor joints, across thresholds, tiled floors and concrete floor joints.
For a new home in or near New Marston, it’s worth checking the sealant early. Common snags include open skirting joints, lifting shower seals and gaps around frames.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Don’t fill floor joints with caulk where they move or get wet
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
Have a look at the joints once the heating season is over. If anything has opened, it’s easy to reseal before they spread.
Open skirting gaps let in draughts, dust and sometimes insects. Sealing it keeps the room tidier and stops it getting worse.
Floor joint sealing around New Marston
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.
Schools such as St Michael's CofE Primary School are buildings too, and floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early. For landlords with property near Oxford station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Saint Michael and All Angels, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

Why it’s worth doing now in New Marston
Floor joints left open collect dirt that is hard to clean out, and they look untidy. A neat sealed joint is easier to clean and finishes the floor. In a smaller place like New Marston, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.

New Marston questions
Will you come out to New Marston?
Yes, New Marston is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you cover New Marston for floor joint sealing?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and New Marston is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. 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.
What causes gaps between the floor and skirting?
Usually it’s movement: heating drying the timber, or a filler that is too rigid. A flexible sealant stays closed as the floor moves.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
How long does floor joint sealing take?
Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the length of joint, including preparation and clearing up. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
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.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, wherever you are.
