About our floor joint sealing in Oakridge
Large tiled floors, and those over underfloor heating, often need movement joints. We can turn a line of grout into a movement joint by replacing it with flexible sealant. We work on commercial floors, concrete floor joints and wet room & bathroom floors, and common reasons people get in touch are cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint and worn sealant at door thresholds.
In smaller places like Oakridge, new homes tend to come as small developments or single plots. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly from day one.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Oakridge
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Can I do it myself?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
How the job changes by surface
Commercial floors
Shops, offices, warehouses and units all have floor joints that need sealing. We talk through the traffic and choose a sealant suited to it.
Concrete floor joints
Concrete floors have sawn or formed joints to control cracking. They’re resealed with a product chosen for what runs over them.
Floor joint sealing in Oakridge: local notes
Floors around Hampshire run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they don’t all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
For landlords with property near Basingstoke station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies. For buildings such as Ruins Of Chapel Of The Holy Trinity, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. If you look after a building such as The Vyne Community School, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.

What we do, step by step
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The job generally takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint from start to finish. For a job in Oakridge, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
- 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.
- We tool it neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Keep dirt out of the joints
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
Avoid flooding the floor when you clean. Keeping the edges drier helps the sealant last longer.
In wet areas, an open floor joint lets water reach the subfloor. A sound seal stops that happening.
Leave it or put it right?
Caulk is quick and cheap, but it cracks where the joint moves or gets wet, but the movement soon cracks it. A flexible sealant stretches instead, so the joint stays closed. In a smaller place like Oakridge, 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.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Common questions in Oakridge
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Basingstoke station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Oakridge?
Yes, Oakridge is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
How do I get a quote for floor joint sealing in Oakridge?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You will get a clear quote before work begins.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
Floors shrink and settle, especially in the first year or two and through the heating season pulls the skirting and floor apart. Rigid fillers split, so we use a flexible sealant.
Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
Where are you based?
We’re based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Will there be a smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
