Floor joint sealing in Tackley, done properly
Every floor moves a little, so its edges need a joint that can flex. Skirting-to-floor gaps, tiled floor joints and concrete joints are all sealed with a sealant suited to the movement and traffic. If you have threshold joints that have opened or worn and tiled floors with no room to move, we can put it right.
Older homes in small places like Tackley often have timber floors that move with the seasons, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
How it works
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint. For a village or hamlet like Tackley, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First we check the joint and the floor and agree which sealant suits it.
- We take out any old caulk, sealant or grout along the line.
- We clean and vacuum the joint and fit backing where the depth needs setting.
- We apply a flexible sealant, or a floor-joint product on concrete, in a suitable colour.
- Finally we tool it smooth and explain when the floor can be used and cleaned.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
How to get a quote
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or send an email if you’d rather. Describe what needs sealing and we will talk you through the work before giving you a price.
Advice
When to call us in Tackley
Concrete floor joints break down when traffic runs over open or failed joints. Pallet trucks and trolleys knock the edges away.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
- Failed joint filler in concrete floors
For landlords with property near Tackley station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.

- How much experience the applicator has

Can I do it myself?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Surface by surface
Wet room and bathroom floors
Bathroom floor edges get wet at every clean. A flexible seal stops water running into the gap.
Commercial floors
In commercial buildings, we can plan floor joint work around opening hours. Out-of-hours working can be arranged where it’s needed.
Why it’s worth doing now in Tackley
An open concrete floor joint gets wider every time something heavy crosses it. Resealing it early protects the edges before they need a bigger repair. Older cottages and farmhouses around Tackley can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.
Why book with us
- Fully insured
- A 12-month guarantee on all work
- Over 20 years’ experience
- Sealant colour chosen to suit

New homes and floors in Tackley
Floors around Oxfordshire run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they don’t all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
Community buildings like Church of St Nicholas are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. If you look after a building such as Tackley Church of England Primary School, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.

Common questions in Tackley
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Tackley station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Is Tackley in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Tackley is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Can you seal where the floor meets the bath panel?
Yes. These joints get wet every time the floor is cleaned, so a flexible silicone is the right choice.
What do you put in the joint?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference.
Can sealant along the skirting be painted?
On joints you want to paint, yes. Silicone doesn’t take paint.
Where are you based?
We are based in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Can you use decorators’ caulk instead?
Because caulk cracks where there’s movement or water. Floor edges move through the year, so we use a flexible sealant that stretches.
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.
