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 usually takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. Parking around Harefield is generally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
- Any old caulk, grout or sealant is raked or cut out.
- The joint is vacuumed clean and backing fitted where needed.
- We apply the sealant in a colour that suits the floor.
- The joint is tooled neatly and the cure time explained.

How we handle floor joint sealing in Harefield
Tiled floors can crack along the grout when there’s no room for movement. Where one is needed, we rake out the grout along the right line and replace it with flexible sealant. If you have concrete floor joints that have broken down and open joints that fill with dirt, we can help, on skirting boards, concrete floor joints and wet room & bathroom floors alike.
In and around Harefield, floors range from older timber boards to tiles and newer finishes, each moving in its own way. The sealant at skirtings and thresholds has to suit the floor it meets.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Harefield as everywhere else we work.

Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, it won’t last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. The old sealant has to come out completely.
How do I get a quote for floor joint sealing in Harefield?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a short description of the job.
Should I try DIY first?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
How long does the job take?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take a morning or an afternoon for most homes. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Can grout be replaced with sealant on a tiled floor?
Often, yes. We replace the grout along a suitable line with flexible sealant in a matching colour. Loose or cracked tiles need a tiler first.
What we’re called out for in Harefield
Some floors were never given a perimeter gap or movement joint. As it expands, the edges lift or crack and joints fail.
The most common problems we see are:
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
- Open joints that fill with dirt
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
If you look after a building such as Harefield Infant School, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.
Before you book anyone
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- What guarantee comes with the work
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
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 for most homes. In a smaller place like Harefield, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will talk you through it.

Surfaces we seal
- Wet room & bathroom floors
- Concrete floor joints
- Skirting boards
- Tiled floors
- Thresholds
- Commercial floors
Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
Keep heavy furniture from dragging across the joints. Sharp edges can cut the sealant before it has fully cured.
Concrete joints damaged by traffic get worse quickly. Early resealing helps keep the joint intact.
