Floor & skirting joints in Arkley, Greater London
Sealing skirting-to-floor joints, tiled floor movement joints and concrete floor joints for homes and businesses in Arkley and across Greater London. ARBOMaster approved applicators, fully insured, with a one-year guarantee.
- Chipped and open joints in warehouse floors
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Do not slide heavy items over sealed joints
- Don’t paint over silicone
- Keep dirt out of the joints
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
Follow the cure time before walking on or cleaning the joint. Light foot traffic is generally fine sooner than wet cleaning or wheels so we will give you each time.
In wet areas, an open floor joint lets water reach the subfloor. A sound seal stops that happening.
About our floor joint sealing in Arkley
Where skirting is painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. For bathrooms and kitchens, silicone is usually the better choice because it handles water. Common call-outs are for dirt and water collecting in open floor joints and concrete floor joints that have broken down, across concrete floor joints, thresholds and commercial floors.
Shops, offices and commercial units across London have hard-wearing floors with movement joints that need resealing as they wear, and new homes need their plot mastic finished properly before handover.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

What we do, step by step
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and clear up. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes. In Arkley, as in most of London, parking needs a little planning. A visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the visit run more smoothly.
- We clear the edges of the floor so the joints are easy to reach.
- Old material is removed from the joint.
- Edges are cleaned and dried.
- We apply a flexible sealant suited to the floor.
- We check the joints and explain the aftercare.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Signs you need floor joint sealing in Arkley
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, showing where a movement joint was needed.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
- Open joints that fill with dirt
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Peter's Church, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.
What your quote should include
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- How the colour is chosen
- Is VAT in the price?
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
New homes and floors in Arkley
Across Greater London, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and each moves in its own way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal. Much of London’s new housing is flats in larger developments, where snags may need reporting through the developer or the managing agent.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Whitings Hill Primary School, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early. Arkley is in London, so parking needs planning: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
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.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.

Arkley: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords with property near Elstree & Borehamwood station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do you cover Arkley for floor joint sealing?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Arkley is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Is it OK to seal over 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.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Usually, yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available, and we will agree it with you first.
What do you put in the joint?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We will tell you what we are using and why.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee.
Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
Timber floors and skirting shrink and swell through the year. A flexible sealant closes the gap without cracking like caulk.
Different surfaces, different methods
Commercial floors
In commercial buildings, we can plan floor joint work around opening hours. We can arrange out-of-hours work if the floor is busy.
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.
