Surface by surface
Wet room and bathroom floors
Bathroom floors meet baths, trays, panels and skirting. We seal them with anti-fungal sanitary silicone to keep water out of the edges.
Tiled floors
The edge of a tiled floor, where it meets the wall or skirting, should be a flexible joint. We rake out any grout there and reseal.
How we handle floor joint sealing in Wolvercote
A threshold joint has to cope with feet, movement and sometimes water. We use a flexible product that suits both floors so the joint stays neat. If you are dealing with cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint and grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
For a small place like Wolvercote, the journey and access are planned in advance, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

How the visit works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. For a village or hamlet like Wolvercote, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We start by looking at the floor, the gap and the traffic, then choose the product.
- Old caulk, grout or sealant is removed from the joint.
- The joint is vacuumed clean, with backing fitted wherever depth matters.
- We apply a flexible sealant, or a floor-joint product on concrete, in a suitable colour.
- We tool the joint neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Floor joint sealing around Wolvercote
Floors around Oxfordshire run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they do not all move the same way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
Letting a property close to Oxford Parkway station? Then open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty. If you look after a building such as Wolvercote Primary School, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.

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 moves with the floor. Older cottages and farmhouses around Wolvercote can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear quote before any work starts.

Common questions in Wolvercote

How long does floor joint sealing take?
That depends on the amount of work, but as a guide it takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. We will tell you when we quote.
Which products do you use?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Can you use decorators’ caulk instead?
Because caulk cracks where there’s movement or water. Skirting joints move with the floor, so a flexible sealant suits them better.
Will I be able to paint over the new joint?
Where the skirting will be painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. Silicone isn’t made to be painted, so we use it where the joint stays unpainted.
Will it make a mess?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Common problems we fix in Wolvercote
Floors and walls move a little with the seasons. Heating dries timber and opens gaps along the skirting.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
- Open joints that fill with dirt
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Peter, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
