About our floor joint sealing in Braughing
Gaps along the bottom of skirting are common in new and older homes alike. Decorators’ caulk normally cracks where there’s movement, so we close it with a flexible sealant instead. We work on skirting boards, thresholds and wet room & bathroom floors, and common reasons people get in touch are worn sealant at door thresholds and tiled floors with no room to move.
Work in a small place like Braughing just needs the journey and access planning, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Hertfordshire.

Signs you need floor joint sealing in Braughing
Timber floors and skirting shrink and swell through the year. In winter, with the heating on, timber dries and gaps open.
Look out for any of the following:
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
Community buildings like Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin are part of the picture too: floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

How long does floor joint sealing take?
Typically it takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we will say how long yours will take.
What causes gaps between the floor and skirting?
Timber floors and skirting shrink and swell through the year. A flexible sealant closes the gap without cracking like caulk.
Can you add a movement joint to a tiled floor?
Often, yes, where it suits the floor. We remove the grout and seal the line with flexible sealant so the floor can move.

Let us know what needs doing and where, plus photos if you have them. If we need more, we’ll ask.

How the visit works
Once we’re on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. For a village or hamlet like Braughing, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We start by checking the floor, the joint and what traffic it takes.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Related advice
Why deal with it now?
Leaving skirting gaps until the next decorating job lets dirt and draughts in. It’s a quick job to seal them now for most homes. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Braughing, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins.
What you get with us
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- Full insurance on every job
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- White, clear, grey or another colour, product permitting

Across Hertfordshire, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they do not all move the same way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
Schools such as Jenyns First School and Nursery are buildings too, and entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

What the job involves on each surface
Wet room and bathroom floors
Bathroom floors meet baths, trays, panels and skirting. We seal them with anti-fungal sanitary silicone that keeps water out.
Concrete floor joints
Open concrete joints chip at the edges when wheels cross them. A sealed joint protects the edges and keeps dirt out.
