About our floor joint sealing in Walton Manor
Good floor joints come down to the right product and clean, prepared edges. We remove what’s there first, then clean, back and seal the joint. We work on thresholds, skirting boards and tiled floors, and common reasons people get in touch are tiled floors with no room to move and chipped and open joints in warehouse floors.
If you’ve bought a new home in or near Walton Manor, the first year or two is a good time to check the sealant. Common snags include open skirting joints, lifting shower seals and gaps around frames.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What we do, step by step
There’s no need to move everything out, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the job takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint for a typical job. A visit to Walton Manor 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, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
- Any old caulk, grout or sealant is raked or cut out.
- The joint is vacuumed clean and backing fitted where needed.
- We apply the sealant in a colour that suits the floor.
- We tool it neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
Preparing for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Landlords, agents and businesses in Walton Manor
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can be quoted together.
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
How the job changes by surface
Concrete floor joints
Old filler, dust and debris are cleaned out of the joint. We fit backing where needed.
Wet room and bathroom floors
In a wet room, the floor-to-wall joint is a key line of defence. It’s resealed with a sanitary silicone, and we will tell you if the leak seems to come from elsewhere.

What else we do in Walton Manor
Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
Keep heavy furniture from dragging across the joints. Sharp edges can cut the sealant before it has fully cured.
In wet areas, an open floor joint lets water reach the subfloor. Resealing early keeps it out.
When to call us in Walton Manor
Floors and walls move a little with the seasons. In winter, with the heating on, timber dries and gaps open and they change again in summer.
The problems people generally mention when they call are:
- Failed joint filler in concrete floors
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
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.

New homes and floors in Walton Manor
Across Oxfordshire, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they don’t all move the same way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
If you look after a building such as St Aloysius' Catholic Primary School, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

What affects the cost of floor joint sealing

- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove

- Which sealant suits the joint
- The number of rooms or windows
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before we start, so you know where you stand.

DIY versus a professional finish
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.
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.
Walton Manor questions
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Oxford station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Is Walton Manor in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Walton Manor 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.
Why has a gap opened under my skirting?
Timber floors and skirting shrink and swell through the year. A flexible sealant closes the gap without cracking like caulk.
Can grout be replaced with sealant on a tiled floor?
Usually, yes. A crack along a grout line often means the floor needs room to move. We rake out that line and seal it with flexible sealant.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Can you seal where the floor meets the bath panel?
Yes. Wet-area floor joints are sealed with a flexible, water-resistant silicone.
Is it messy?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
