About our floor joint sealing in Steeple Barton
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. Common call-outs are for gaps opening between the floor and skirting and failed joint filler in concrete floors, across tiled floors, wet room & bathroom floors and concrete floor joints.
Somewhere as small as Steeple Barton, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Related advice
Can I do it myself?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Leave it or put it right?
Not every floor joint takes the same sealant: flexible sealant for skirting and tiles, silicone in wet areas, and floor-joint products for concrete. Using the wrong one is why many floor joints fail. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Steeple Barton, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
- Don’t slide heavy items over sealed joints
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
Mop with a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor. Keeping the edges drier helps the sealant last longer.
Cracks along tile grout lines come back unless the movement is dealt with. Adding a movement joint early can stop cracks spreading to the tiles.
What floor joint sealing looks like in Steeple Barton
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.
For landlords with property near Heyford station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies. For buildings such as Church of St Mary, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. Managing a site like Middle Barton Primary School? Then floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.

Your questions about floor joint sealing in Steeple Barton
Is Steeple Barton within the area you cover?
Yes. Steeple Barton is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Heyford station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Do you seal kitchen plinths to the floor?
Yes. Where a floor meets a bath panel, kitchen plinth or skirting in a wet area, we use a flexible silicone so water can’t get into the gap.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
Is caulk good enough for skirting?
Only on dry joints that do not move. Caulk cracks as the floor moves and the gap reopens. A flexible sealant is the better choice.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything isn’t right with the work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.
How long does floor joint sealing take?
That depends on how much there is to do, but as a guide it takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
