Floor joint sealing in Childwick Green
Large tiled floors, and those over underfloor heating, often need movement joints. Where one is needed, we rake out the grout along the right line and replace it with flexible sealant coloured to suit the grout. Typical jobs include tiled floors with no room to move and grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant, on skirting boards, concrete floor joints and thresholds.
Somewhere as small as Childwick Green, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

When to call us in Childwick Green
New floors settle once they’re in use. The edges pull away from the skirting and anything rigid cracks.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Failed joint filler in concrete floors
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
If you let a flat or house near Harpenden station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.

Landlord and commercial work in Childwick Green
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Should I try it myself first?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.

Is Childwick Green within the area you cover?

Can I do it myself?

Will you leave a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.

What floor joint sealing looks like in Childwick Green
Floors around Hertfordshire 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 Mary, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. Schools such as Townsend Church of England School are buildings too, and floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.

Surface by surface
Thresholds
Two different floors meeting at a threshold move differently. A flexible sealant bridges them.
Wet room and bathroom floors
Mop water gets into any open joint at the edge of a bathroom floor. A neat silicone joint keeps it out.
