About our floor joint sealing in Great Offley
Good floor joints come down to the right product and clean, prepared edges. Old caulk, grout or failed sealant comes out first, then clean, back and seal the joint. We are often asked to deal with open joints that fill with dirt and open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards, across wet room & bathroom floors, commercial floors and concrete floor joints.
For a small place like Great Offley, the journey and access are planned in advance, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
Every job is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Hertfordshire.

How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
- Use furniture pads near skirting
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
Lift furniture rather than sliding it over sealed joints. Sharp edges can cut the sealant.
Sealing a gap while it’s small is a quick job. Left alone, they collect dirt and widen and are harder to clean out.
Questions from Great Offley
Is Great Offley in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Great Offley is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Is Great Offley within the area you cover?
Yes. Great Offley is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What causes gaps between the floor and skirting?
Floors and walls move a little with the seasons, and new floors settle. A flexible sealant closes the gap without cracking like caulk.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.
Can you add a movement joint to a tiled floor?
Generally, yes. A crack along a grout line often means the floor needs room to move. We replace that grout with a flexible joint.
How long does floor joint sealing take?
Typically it takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes. Bigger jobs take longer, and we will tell you how long to expect.
How long before the joint can take traffic?
Follow the cure time we give you. Feet are usually fine first, then mopping, then heavy wheels in most cases.

What the job involves on each surface
Concrete floor joints
Concrete floors have sawn or formed joints to control cracking. We reseal them with a floor-joint product suited to the traffic.
Skirting boards
Skirting-to-floor joints are a regular job for us. The old caulk is removed first so the new sealant bonds.
Common problems we fix in Great Offley
Decorators’ caulk is often used along skirting because it’s cheap and paintable. It cracks where there’s movement or water so the gap reappears.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
- Failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
If you look after a building such as Offley Endowed Primary School, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

Should I try it myself first?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.

When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes. Somewhere like Great Offley needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
