About our floor joint sealing in Shippon
Tiled floors can crack along the grout when there’s no room for movement. Where one is needed, we rake out the grout along the right line and replace it with flexible sealant in a matching colour. If you’re dealing with tiled floors with no room to move and failed joint filler in concrete floors, we can help, whatever the surface.
Work in a small place like Shippon just needs the journey and access planning, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

What we are called out for in Shippon
Some floors were never given a perimeter gap or movement joint. It pushes against the walls and skirting as it expands.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
- Chipped and open joints in warehouse floors
If you look after a building such as Larkmead School, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.
What your quote should include
- Are they insured?
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Which colour the sealant will be
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing

Floor joint sealing in Shippon: local notes
Floors around Oxfordshire run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they do not all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
For landlords with property near Radley station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies. Community buildings like Church of St Mary Magdalene are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

How the job changes by surface
Commercial floors
Commercial washrooms and kitchens have floor joints that get wet constantly. They’re resealed with a flexible, water-resistant sealant.
Wet room and bathroom floors
Bathroom floors meet baths, trays, panels and skirting. We seal them with anti-fungal sanitary silicone to keep water out of the edges.
Shippon questions
Will you come out to Shippon?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
I let a flat near Radley station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.
Do you seal floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens?
Yes. Wet-area floor joints are sealed with a flexible, water-resistant silicone.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
We help you choose a colour that suits, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
How do I get a quote for floor joint sealing in Shippon?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You will get a clear quote before work begins.
Can grout be replaced with sealant on a tiled floor?
Usually, yes. A crack along a grout line often means the floor needs room to move. We rake out that line and seal it with flexible sealant.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we are fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
The process
You do not need to clear the whole room or building, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors in most cases. Somewhere like Shippon 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.
- The room is cleared along the joints so we can reach them.
- Old material is removed from the joint.
- We clean and dry the edges of the joint.
- A flexible sealant suited to the floor is applied and smooth it.
- We check the joints and explain the aftercare.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Advice
Should I try it myself first?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
How we quote for floor joint sealing
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- The number of rooms or windows
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Access and height
- The number and length of the joints
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Where the job is, and your postcode
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know what needs doing and where. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
- Look at floor joints each spring
- Do not slide heavy items over sealed joints
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
Keep heavy furniture from dragging across the joints. Sharp edges can cut the sealant before it has fully cured.
In wet areas, an open floor joint lets water reach the subfloor. Resealing early keeps it out.
