DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
About our floor joint sealing in Sibford Ferris
Painted skirting can be sealed with a flexible product that can be painted over. In wet areas we’d normally use silicone because it handles water. If you have perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout and cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint, we can help, whatever the surface.
In a village or hamlet like Sibford Ferris, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you are covered after we have gone.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Letting agents and landlords in Sibford Ferris can book us as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
We also work for property managers and facilities teams. Several sites can go on one quote, and we are fully insured.
What affects the quote in Sibford Ferris
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The number of rooms or windows
- How much there is to do
- Any working-time requirements on site
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.
What to tell us for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Roughly how big the job is
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Whether it has been sealed before
There’s no standard price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, we give you a clear quote for your job. To get started, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
What happens on the day
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. In a small place like Sibford Ferris, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We clear the edges of the floor so the joints are easy to reach.
- We take out the cracked caulk, grout or old sealant.
- We clean and dry the edges of the joint.
- A flexible sealant suited to the floor is applied.
- Finally, we check the work and talk you through aftercare.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Tell us about any water getting in

How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
Check the joints after the first winter. If anything has opened, it’s easy to reseal.
Water getting into floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens can damage what’s underneath. Resealing early keeps it out.
Common questions in Sibford Ferris
Is there a guarantee on floor joint sealing in Sibford Ferris?
All our work, in Sibford Ferris and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Is Sibford Ferris within the area you cover?
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.
Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
Can grout be replaced with sealant on a tiled floor?
Often, yes. Where a floor needs one, we rake out grout along the right line and replace it with flexible sealant in a matching colour. If tiles are loose, that needs fixing first.
Do I need to be at home?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that generally means someone at home.
Where are you based?
We’re based in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Let us know what needs doing and where, plus photos if you have them. If we need more, we will ask.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, because it fails. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new sealant bonds properly.

What floor joint sealing looks like in Sibford Ferris
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.
Schools such as Sibford School are buildings too, and floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.
