What affects the cost of floor joint sealing
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The type of sealant required
- Access and height
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
The cost depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What to tell us for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- The rough size of the job
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- A few pictures by email, if you can
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add pictures by email if you can.
What happens if it’s left?
Leaving skirting gaps until the next decorating job lets dirt and draughts in. It’s a quick job to seal them now. Older cottages and farmhouses around Clapgate can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.

Can I choose the sealant colour?

Where do you work from?
Our base is Crawley. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
It’s normally the floor moving: heating drying the timber, or a filler that is too rigid. A flexible sealant stays closed as the floor moves.
How long before the joint can take traffic?
That varies with the sealant and the room. Before we leave, we tell you when it can be walked on, mopped and driven over so you can plan.
My floor grout keeps cracking in a line. Can you help?
Often, yes, where it suits the floor. We remove the grout and seal the line with flexible sealant so the floor can move.
Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
New homes and floors in Clapgate
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. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
Schools such as Albury Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School are buildings too, and floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up. For landlords with property near Bishops Stortford station, a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Mary, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not slide heavy items over sealed joints
- Keep dirt out of the joints
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
- Look at floor joints each spring
Keep heavy furniture from dragging across the joints. Sharp edges can cut the sealant before it has fully cured.
A gap under the skirting collects dust and lets draughts through. Sealing it early keeps the room cleaner and stops it getting worse.
How the job changes by surface
Concrete floor joints
Old filler, dust and debris are cleaned out of the joint. We fit backing where needed.
Wet room and bathroom floors
Bathroom floor edges get wet at every clean. A neat silicone joint keeps it out.
