Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in High Cross
Wet-area floor joints keep water out of the gap behind skirting and plinths. We seal them with a flexible, water-resistant sealant. We’re often asked to deal with gaps between floors and kitchen plinths and cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint, across skirting boards, commercial floors and tiled floors.
Around High Cross, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

Common problems we fix in High Cross
Floors and walls move a little with the seasons. In winter, with the heating on, timber dries and gaps open.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Open joints that fill with dirt
- Failed joint filler in concrete floors
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
- Failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels
Schools such as Thundridge Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.

Your questions about floor joint sealing in High Cross
I let a flat near Ware station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Will you come out to High Cross?
Yes. High Cross is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can I do it myself?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
What do you put in the joint?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We will tell you what we’re using and why.
How long will you be here?
A typical job takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors, including the preparation. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We will suggest a colour to suit the surroundings, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The product needed can limit the range.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Tell us what needs doing and where, with photos by email if possible. If we need more, we will ask.
Where are you based?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
- Don’t paint over silicone
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
Check the joints after the first winter. Small gaps at the ends can be touched up.
In wet areas, an open floor joint lets water reach the subfloor. A sound seal stops that happening.
Floor joint sealing around High Cross
Floors around Hertfordshire run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they don’t all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St John the Evangelist, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. If you let a flat or house near Ware station, a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant.

What happens on the day
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint. Somewhere like High Cross 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.
- First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
- We remove what’s in the joint now.
- We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.
- The chosen sealant goes in, coloured to suit the floor.
- We tool it neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
How to prepare
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Move anything stored near the joints

What the job involves on each surface
Skirting boards
Gaps between skirting and floor open as timber and floors move. We seal them with a flexible sealant rather than caulk.
Thresholds
Threshold joints get a lot of feet, so we choose a hard-wearing, flexible product.
When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Subfloor problems that need a flooring contractor
- A tiled floor that needs relaying
- Water getting under the tiles from elsewhere
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Skirting boards
- Concrete floor joints
- Thresholds
- Tiled floors
- Wet room & bathroom floors
- Commercial floors
Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
