Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Owlswick
Where skirting is painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. For bathrooms and kitchens, silicone is normally the better choice. If you have gaps between floors and kitchen plinths and perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout, we can help.
Around Owlswick, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

What floor joint sealing looks like in Owlswick
Across Buckinghamshire, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they do not all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
Managing a site like Longwick Church of England Combined School? Then entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic. Community buildings like Owlswick Chapel are part of the picture too: floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
- Don’t slide heavy items over sealed joints
Keep heavy furniture from dragging across the joints. Sharp edges can cut the sealant.
Cracks along tile grout lines come back unless the movement is dealt with. Adding a movement joint early can stop cracks spreading to the tiles.
What the job involves on each surface
Wet room and bathroom floors
Bathroom floors meet baths, trays, panels and skirting. We seal them with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Tiled floors
Perimeter joints in tiled floors should be sealant, not grout. We rake out any grout there and reseal.
Signs you need floor joint sealing in Owlswick
A new floor or screed shrinks and settles as it dries. Gaps at the edges appear in the first year or so and anything rigid cracks.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Open joints that fill with dirt
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
- Failed joint filler in concrete floors
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
If you let a flat or house near Monks Risborough station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.

Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you seal warehouse floor joints?
Yes. Concrete floor joints in warehouses and units are part of our work. The product is chosen for the traffic the floor takes.
Does someone need to be in?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that generally means someone at home.
What do you put in the joint?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status, and we are fully insured.
Is it messy?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and we clear up when we are done.
Why it’s worth doing now in Owlswick
Floor joints left open collect dirt that is hard to clean out, and they look untidy. Sealed joints are easier to keep clean and look tidier. Around Owlswick, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
