Common problems we fix in Gustard Wood
Floors and walls move a little with the seasons. Heating dries timber and opens gaps along the skirting and they change again in summer.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Peter, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

Why act early in Gustard Wood
Filling a skirting gap with caulk looks fine at first, but the movement soon cracks it. A flexible sealant moves with the floor. Older cottages and farmhouses around Gustard Wood can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.
Why us?
- Over 20 years’ experience
- Old sealant always removed completely
- ARBOMaster approved applicator
- White, clear, grey or another colour, product permitting

New homes and floors in Gustard Wood
Across Hertfordshire, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they don’t all move the same way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
If you look after a building such as St Helen's Church of England Primary School, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early. Rented homes near Harpenden station change hands often, and open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.

Your questions about floor joint sealing in Gustard Wood
Can you do floor joint sealing in Gustard Wood?

I let a flat near Harpenden station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
When can I walk on the floor?
Follow the cure time we give you. Feet are usually fine first, then mopping, then heavy wheels.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, because it fails. The old sealant always comes out first.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
What sealant do you use?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Loose, hollow or cracked tiles, which need a tiler
- Floors that are uneven or need levelling
- Concrete repairs beyond the joint
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

The process

- We clear the edges of the floor so the joints are easy to reach.
- Old material is removed from the joint.
- We clean and dry the edges of the joint.
- A flexible sealant suited to the floor is applied and tooled.
- Finally, we check the work and talk you through aftercare.

How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
- Use furniture pads near skirting
Keep off the joint for the time we give you. Feet are usually fine before mopping or wheeled traffic.
Sealing a gap while it’s small is a quick job. Ignored, they fill with dirt and open further.
