About our floor joint sealing in Chipping
In commercial and industrial units, concrete floor joints take a hammering from wheels and traffic. We reseal them with a product chosen for the movement and the traffic. We work on skirting boards, wet room & bathroom floors and concrete floor joints, and the jobs we see most are skirting that has pulled away from the floor and gaps between floors and kitchen plinths.
Around Chipping, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee in Chipping and across Hertfordshire.

Floor joint sealing around Chipping
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.
Managing a site like Freman College? Then floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up. In and around Chipping, as anywhere, good floor joint sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
How it works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes. In a small place like Chipping, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We clear the edges of the floor so the joints are easy to reach.
- We take out the cracked caulk, grout or old sealant.
- Edges are cleaned and dried.
- We apply a flexible sealant suited to the floor and smooth it.
- Finally, we check the work and talk you through aftercare.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
Ask for a quote
Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand.

Chipping questions
Is there a guarantee on floor joint sealing in Chipping?
All our work, in Chipping and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Will you come out to Chipping?
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.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured for every job we do.
Which products do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will tell you what we’re using.
Do you use a paintable sealant?
On joints you want to paint, yes. Silicone doesn’t take paint, so tell us your plans.
Why has a gap opened under my skirting?
Normally it’s movement: timber drying in winter, floors settling, or caulk that cannot stretch. A flexible sealant stays closed as the floor moves.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Opening a window helps.
What should I tell you?
Let us know what needs doing and where, plus photos if you have them. If we need more, we’ll ask.
When it isn’t the sealant
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Floors that are uneven or need levelling
- Structural movement or subsidence
- Failed waterproofing under a wet room floor
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Wet room & bathroom floors
- Concrete floor joints
- Tiled floors
- Thresholds
- Skirting boards
- Commercial floors
Leave it or put it right?
Left open, concrete joints break down under traffic. Resealing it early protects the edges and keeps the damage down. In a small place like Chipping, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first and send you a clear quote before work begins.
What you get with us
- Colour picked to suit the job
- Arbo and Everbuild products
- We’re fully insured
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas

What the job involves on each surface
Skirting boards
Gaps between skirting and floor open as timber and floors move. A flexible sealant closes the gap without cracking.
Wet room and bathroom floors
In a wet room, the floor-to-wall joint is a key line of defence. It’s resealed with a sanitary silicone, and we will tell you if the leak seems to come from elsewhere.
