Floor joint sealing in Tilehurst, done properly
Concrete floors in warehouses and units have joints that take heavy wear. Each is resealed with a floor-joint product suited to what runs over it. If you have skirting caulk that keeps splitting and perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout, we can put it right, on wet room & bathroom floors, thresholds and commercial floors alike.
For a new home in or near Tilehurst, it’s worth checking the sealant early. Common snags include open skirting joints, lifting shower seals and gaps around frames.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

Questions from Tilehurst
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Tilehurst station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Is Tilehurst in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Tilehurst is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
Is there any odour?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
Can you match the sealant colour?
In most cases you can choose. We’ll tell you which colours the right product comes in.
Will I be able to paint over the new joint?
On joints you want to paint, yes. Silicone does not take paint so mention it when you get a quote.
Which products do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We’ll tell you what we are using and why.
Can you add a movement joint to a tiled floor?
Often, yes, where it suits the floor. We remove the grout and seal the line with flexible sealant so the floor can move.
Leave it or put it right?
Leaving skirting gaps until the next decorating job lets dirt and draughts in. It’s a quick job to seal them now in most rooms. Around Tilehurst, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Why Tilehurst clients choose us
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
- We leave the area clean and tidy

How the job changes by surface
Concrete floor joints
Open concrete joints chip at the edges when wheels cross them. A sealed joint protects the edges and stops debris collecting.
Commercial floors
Shops, offices, warehouses and units all have floor joints that need sealing. The sealant is chosen for the traffic the floor takes.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We also work for property managers and facilities teams in Tilehurst and across Oxfordshire. We can quote a run of properties together.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
What we do, step by step
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint. For a job in Tilehurst, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- We look at the gap and the floor type and agree the right sealant.
- Whatever is in the joint now, whether caulk, grout or sealant, comes out.
- The joint is vacuumed clean, with backing fitted wherever depth matters.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Mention any tricky access

New homes and floors in Tilehurst
Across Oxfordshire, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they do not all move the same way. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
For buildings such as Tilehurst Methodist Church, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Park Lane Primary School, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up. For landlords with property near Tilehurst station, a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant.

How we quote for floor joint sealing

- Mould in or behind the old joints
- When we can work, for business premises
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The number and length of the joints
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:

Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
- Don’t paint over silicone
- Do not slide heavy items over sealed joints
- Look at floor joints each spring
Have a look at the joints once the heating season is over. If anything has opened, it’s easy to reseal before they spread.
Once concrete joint edges start to break, wheels make it worse. Sealing them early protects the edges and the surface smoother.
What sealant work cannot fix
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Water getting under the tiles from elsewhere
- Floors that are uneven or need levelling
- Structural movement or subsidence
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think.
