About our floor joint sealing in Hemel Hempstead
Painted skirting can be sealed with a flexible product that can be painted over. For bathrooms and kitchens, silicone is usually the better choice, which is not made to be painted. Common call-outs are for concrete floor joints that have broken down and caulk that has cracked where the floor moves, on skirting boards, concrete floor joints and thresholds.
A place the size of Hemel Hempstead has new developments as well as older streets. New homes need their plot mastic and sealant finished well, and owners often find snags in the first year or two.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.

Do you need floor joint sealing in Hemel Hempstead?
Timber floors and skirting shrink and swell through the year. Heating dries timber and opens gaps along the skirting and they change again in summer.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
- Skirting caulk that keeps splitting
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
Letting a property close to Apsley station? Then open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.
Before booking anyone

- How the colour is chosen
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- When the joint can take water or movement

New homes and floors in Hemel Hempstead
Across Hertfordshire, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they do not all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that. Hemel Hempstead was built as one of England’s post-war new towns. Hemel Hempstead has kept growing, with newer neighbourhoods added to the original town, so brand-new homes and homes from the post-war decades sit within a short drive of each other. Older homes need their sealant and floor joints renewing, newer ones checking at snagging.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Broadfield Academy, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up. For buildings such as St Barnabas, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple:
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
Check the joints after the first winter. Small gaps at the ends can be touched up early on.
Concrete joints damaged by traffic get worse quickly. Sealing them early protects the edges and the surface smoother.
