How the visit works
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before we start. The work generally takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint. Parking around Oakley is normally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- We clear the edges of the floor so the joints are easy to reach.
- We take out the cracked caulk, grout or old sealant.
- Edges are cleaned and dried.
- A flexible sealant suited to the floor is applied.
- We check the joints and explain the aftercare.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Advice
Floor joint sealing in Oakley, done properly
Painted skirting can be sealed with a flexible product that can be painted over. In wet areas we’d normally use silicone. Common call-outs are for open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards and floor edges that trap water and grime, across commercial floors, concrete floor joints and tiled floors.
In and around Oakley, floors range from older timber boards to tiles and newer finishes, from timber that moves with the seasons to tiles laid on concrete. Skirting and threshold joints need a sealant that suits the floor.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

What the job involves on each surface
Thresholds
Thresholds take daily traffic, so the sealant has to be tough as well as flexible.
Skirting boards
Skirting pulls away from the floor as floors shrink and settle. We seal them with a flexible sealant rather than caulk in a colour to suit.
DIY versus a professional finish
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.

Why act early in Oakley
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. In a smaller place like Oakley, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

When something else is needed
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Water getting under the tiles from elsewhere
- Tiles that have lifted or broken
- Floors that are uneven or need levelling
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think.

When to call us in Oakley
A floor laid tight to the walls has no room to move. As it expands, the edges lift or crack, and the sealant or grout breaks.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
- Tiled floors with no room to move
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
If you look after a building such as Oakley CE Junior School, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.

Joints and finishes in Oakley homes
Floors around Hampshire run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they do not all move the same way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St John's, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. If you let a flat or house near Overton station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.

Oakley: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords with property near Overton station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.

Yes, Oakley is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Do you use a paintable sealant?
For painted skirting, we use a flexible product that can be painted. Silicone is not made to be painted, so we use it where the joint stays unpainted.
Why has a gap opened under my skirting?
Movement from drying timber and settling floors. Caulk tends to crack; a flexible sealant doesn’t.
How long does the job take?
That depends on the amount of work, but as a guide it takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint. We will tell you when we quote.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
In most cases you can choose. We will tell you which colours the right product comes in.
Do I have to be there?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.
