Floor joint sealing in Gadebridge: local notes
Hemel Hempstead, which Gadebridge is part of, is one of England’s post-war new towns. Hemel Hempstead has kept growing, with newer neighbourhoods added to the original town. Newer homes need snagging; older ones need their joints renewing. Floors around Hertfordshire run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and each moves in its own way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
For buildings such as St Alban's Church, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. Managing a site like Galley Hill Primary School and Nursery? Then floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.

Skirting boards
Gaps between skirting and floor open as timber and floors move. A flexible sealant closes the gap without cracking painted or coloured to match.

Should I try DIY first?

Can sealant along the skirting be painted?
Where you plan to paint, we do. Silicone does not take paint so mention it when you get a quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. All our work carries a one-year guarantee.
Is caulk good enough for skirting?
Caulk is fine for dry joints that don’t move, but it cracks where there’s movement or water. For most floor joints, we use a flexible sealant.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
Which products do you use?

- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
- Floor edges that trap water and grime

The process
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we do not rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it generally takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. In a smaller place like Gadebridge, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- We start by checking the floor, the joint and what traffic it takes.
- Any old caulk, grout or sealant is raked or cut out.
- We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.
- 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
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
- Look at floor joints each spring
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
Have a look at the joints once the heating season is over. If anything has opened, it’s easy to reseal.
Sealing a gap while it’s small is a quick job. Ignored, they fill with dirt and open further over time.
