The process
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes. A visit to St Clement's is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- First we check the joint and the floor and agree which sealant suits it.
- Whatever is in the joint now, whether caulk, grout or sealant, comes out.
- The joint is cleaned, vacuumed and backed where depth needs controlling.
- A flexible sealant, or a floor-joint sealant for concrete, is applied in a colour to suit.
- We tool the joint neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
Getting ready for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Mention any parking rules near the property

About our floor joint sealing in St Clement's
Where skirting is painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. For bathrooms and kitchens, silicone is generally the better choice. If you are dealing with skirting that has pulled away from the floor and open joints around bathroom floor edges, we can put it right.
In and around St Clement's, floors range from older timber boards to tiles and newer finishes, each moving in its own way. The sealant at skirtings and thresholds has to suit the floor it meets.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
Avoid flooding the floor when you clean. Keeping the edges drier helps the sealant last longer.
Water getting into floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens can damage what’s underneath. Resealing early keeps it out.
Why deal with it now?
Caulk is quick and cheap, but it cracks where the joint moves or gets wet, but the movement soon cracks it. A flexible sealant stretches instead, so the joint stays closed. In a smaller place like St Clement's, 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.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first.

Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Can you do floor joint sealing in St Clement's?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and St Clement's is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Will I be able to paint over the new joint?
It depends on the sealant, so let us know first. We use a paintable flexible sealant on joints you plan to paint.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we are fully insured too.
Can you match the sealant colour?
In most cases you can choose. We will explain which colours are available.
Will it make a mess?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is normally more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.

When to call us in St Clement's
Caulk is the usual filler for skirting. In a joint that moves or gets wet, it splits so the gap reappears.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Chipped and open joints in warehouse floors
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as East Oxford Primary School, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.

Letting a property close to Oxford station? Then open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty. For buildings such as St Clement's Church, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.
