- The room is cleared along the joints so we can reach them.
- We take out the cracked caulk, grout or old sealant.
- We clean and dry the edges of the joint.
- We apply a flexible sealant suited to the floor and tooled.
- We check the joints and explain the aftercare.

Woodway: your questions answered
Is Woodway within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
I let a flat near Cholsey station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Will it make a mess?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
What should I tell you?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
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.
How soon can the floor be mopped?
Follow the cure time we give you. Feet are normally fine first, then mopping, then heavy wheels.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
What sealant 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. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Floor joint sealing in Woodway: local notes
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. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Michael, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. Managing a site like Blewbury Endowed Church of England Primary School? Then floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.

Why it’s worth doing now in Woodway
An open concrete floor joint gets wider every time something heavy crosses it. A sealed joint supports the edges and keeps the damage down. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Woodway, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.

Signs you need floor joint sealing in Woodway
Grout is rigid, so a tiled floor with nowhere to move cracks along a grout line. Cracks often run straight along a line of joints, where a flexible joint should have been.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
- Open joints that fill with dirt
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
For landlords with property near Cholsey station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.

- Any access issues, like height or stairs

DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
- Do not paint over silicone
- Do not slide heavy items over sealed joints
Have a look at the joints once the heating season is over. If anything has opened, it’s easy to reseal early on.
Once concrete joint edges start to break, wheels make it worse. Sealing them early protects the edges and the surface smoother.
