What floor joint sealing looks like in Purley on Thames
Floors around Oxfordshire run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and each moves in its own way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
Schools such as Purley CofE Primary School are buildings too, and entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic. For landlords with property near Tilehurst station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.

Purley on Thames: your questions answered
Will you come out to Purley on Thames?
Yes, Purley on Thames is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
I let a flat near Tilehurst station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
How long does the job take?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. Larger jobs naturally take longer.
Can sealant along the skirting be painted?
On joints you want to paint, yes. Silicone doesn’t take paint so mention it when you get a quote.
Does someone need to be in?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
Do you seal warehouse floor joints?
Yes, including warehouses, units, shops and offices. Work can be planned around your hours, and out-of-hours work can be arranged.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
In most cases you can choose. We’ll explain which colours are available.
Common problems we fix in Purley on Thames
Water and dirt collect in open floor joints. In kitchens and bathrooms, mop water gets into the gap.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
Community buildings like Church of St Mary are part of the picture too: floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.
What your quote should include
- Whether VAT is included
- What insurance they hold
- Who turns up on the day
- What happens if the job turns out different
Why deal with it now?
Leaving skirting gaps until the next decorating job lets dirt and draughts in. It’s a quick job to seal them now. In a smaller place like Purley on Thames, 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.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Why us?
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- You choose the colour before work begins
- A sealant colour to suit the surroundings
- Domestic, commercial and hotel work
What affects the cost of floor joint sealing
We don’t publish a price list. What we look at:
- How many areas need sealing
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- How much there is to do
- Working hours on commercial sites
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.
Asking for a quote
You do not need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- The address or postcode of the job
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- Roughly how big the job is
- The type of property
We do not publish a price list, because every job is different. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To get started, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Should I try it myself first?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work starts. The work normally takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. In a smaller place like Purley on Thames, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- We clear the edges of the floor so the joints are easy to reach.
- Old material is removed from the joint.
- We clean and dry the edges of the joint.
- We apply a flexible sealant suited to the floor and smooth it.
- We check the joints and explain the aftercare.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
