About our floor joint sealing in Roke
In commercial and industrial units, concrete floor joints take a hammering from wheels and traffic. We reseal them with a product chosen for the movement and the traffic. If you have grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant and gaps at thresholds between rooms, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Older homes in small places like Roke often have timber floors that move with the seasons, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What affects the quote in Roke
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The size of the job
- The number of rooms or windows
- Access and height
- Mould in or behind the old joints
The cost depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What to tell us for a quote
You don’t need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- The type of property
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- If someone has resealed it before
- A few pictures by email, if you can
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email pictures if that’s easy.
Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
- Keep dirt out of the joints
Avoid flooding the floor when you clean. Keeping the edges drier helps the sealant last longer.
Sealing a gap while it’s small is a quick job. Left alone, they collect dirt and widen and are harder to clean out.
Signs you need floor joint sealing in Roke
A new floor or screed shrinks and settles as it dries. The edges pull away from the skirting and anything rigid cracks.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
- Failed joint filler in concrete floors
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Benson Church of England Primary School, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- How long the guarantee is
- What the cure time is
Why it’s worth doing now in Roke
Leaving skirting gaps until the next decorating job lets dirt and draughts in. Sealing them now is a short job for most homes. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Roke, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.

What the job involves on each surface
Concrete floor joints
Open concrete joints chip at the edges when wheels cross them. A sealed joint protects the edges and stops debris collecting.
Thresholds
Threshold joints get a lot of feet, so the sealant has to be tough as well as flexible and neatly finished.
Roke questions
Is there a guarantee on floor joint sealing in Roke?
All our work, in Roke and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Do you cover smaller places like Roke?
Yes, Roke is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Does someone need to be in?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
Floors and walls move a little with the seasons, and new floors settle. We close it with a flexible sealant that moves with the floor.
Do you use a paintable sealant?
On joints you want to paint, yes. Silicone in bathrooms and kitchens can’t be painted, so tell us your plans.
Is it messy?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints.
What happens on the day
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we’re working on, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors, and we explain the cure time before we leave. Somewhere like Roke needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We start by looking at the floor, the gap and the traffic, then choose the product.
- We take out any old caulk, sealant or grout along the line.
- The joint is cleaned, vacuumed and backed where depth needs controlling.
- The sealant goes in, chosen for the floor and coloured to suit it.
- We tool the joint 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 stairs, lifts or work at height
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Across Oxfordshire, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and each moves in its own way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
