Our floor joint sealing service in Hertfordshire

The gap under a skirting board often opens as floors and walls move with the seasons. Caulk tends to crack there, so we close it with a flexible sealant instead. Typical jobs include open joints around bathroom floor edges and tiled floors with no room to move, across commercial floors, tiled floors and skirting boards.

Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The work normally takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes, depending on how much there is to do.

We start by checking the floor, the joint and what traffic it takes.
Any old caulk, grout or sealant is raked or cut out.
We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.
We apply the sealant in a colour that suits the floor.
The joint is tooled neatly and the cure time explained.

Floor joint sealing across Hertfordshire: local notes

Across Hertfordshire, from Watford, Hemel Hempstead and Stevenage outwards, new homes go up alongside older streets. New homes need their sealant and floor joints finished properly, and older ones need them renewing.

From Victorian terraces to post-war new towns and modern estates, homes across the South East and London cover every era. Each needs the right sealant for its age and materials.

Watford: Schools such as Watford St John's Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic. Rented homes near Watford Junction station change hands often, and gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.

What affects the quote in Hertfordshire

You will get a clear quote before we start. It’s based on:

The size of the job
The product the joint needs
Whether the work is at height
The old material and how stubborn it is

Doing several joints on one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We will give you a clear price for the lot.

What we need to know

There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:

Photos by email, if that is easy
What’s wrong with the joints now
Where the property is
Access, such as stairs, a lift or height

For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or send an email if you’d rather. Describe what needs sealing and we’ll explain what’s involved and give you a clear quote.

Keeping the joints in good condition

Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:

Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
Look at floor joints each spring
Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges

Do not paint over silicone. If the joint will be painted, tell us beforehand so we use a paintable sealant.

A tiled floor that cracks along a line will keep cracking until it can move. Adding a movement joint early can stop cracks spreading to the tiles.

Why act early?

Water that gets past a floor joint can damage the floor beneath. Dealing with it early keeps the repair to the joint.

Why it fails

Floors and walls move a little with the seasons. Heating dries timber and opens gaps along the skirting, then close again in damper months.

If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:

Chipped and open joints in warehouse floors
Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
Threshold joints that have opened or worn

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hertfordshire

Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. We can quote for more than one property at once.

Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.

Hertfordshire: your questions answered

Is it OK to seal over old sealant?

No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.

Can sealant along the skirting be painted?

On joints you want to paint, yes. Silicone does not take paint.

Do you come to Hertfordshire?

We do. Hertfordshire is part of the area we cover.

Are you ARBOMaster approved?

Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme.

Is caulk good enough for skirting?

Caulk is fine for dry joints that do not move, but it splits where the joint moves or gets wet. For most floor joints, we use a flexible sealant.

How long does floor joint sealing take?

As a guide, most jobs take a morning or an afternoon for most homes. Bigger jobs take longer, and we’ll tell you how long to expect.
