About our floor joint sealing in Hitchin
Gaps along the bottom of skirting are common in new and older homes alike. Decorators’ caulk generally cracks where there’s movement, so we use a flexible sealant that moves with the floor. If you have dirt and water collecting in open floor joints and gaps opening between the floor and skirting, we can help, whatever the surface.
In a town like Hitchin, older houses sit alongside newer estates. Whether a house is brand new or a few years old, sealant and floor joints are often the first snags to show.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Your questions about floor joint sealing in Hitchin
Is Hitchin in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Hitchin is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we will send you a clear quote.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Hitchin station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.
Can you add a movement joint to a tiled floor?
In many cases, yes. Where a floor needs one, we rake out grout along the right line and replace it with flexible sealant. Loose or cracked tiles need a tiler first.
Are you insured?
Yes, we are fully insured.
What sealant do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We will tell you what we’re using and why.
Does someone need to be in?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Should I try it myself first?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.

What else we do in Hitchin
Floor joint sealing around Hitchin
Floors around Hertfordshire run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and each moves in its own 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 the Holy Saviour, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. If you look after a building such as Hitchin Girls' School, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.

Honest limits
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Structural movement or subsidence
- Tiles that have lifted or broken
- Failed waterproofing under a wet room floor
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Skirting boards
- Concrete floor joints
- Tiled floors
- Commercial floors
- Wet room & bathroom floors
- Thresholds
Why deal with it now?
Filling a skirting gap with caulk looks fine at first, so the gap reappears. A flexible sealant moves with the floor, so the joint stays closed. In Hitchin, as anywhere, most leaks start as a small gap in a joint, and they’re far easier to fix early.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.
