If you are dealing with open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards and cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens, we can put it right, on commercial floors, concrete floor joints and wet room & bathroom floors alike.

Floor joint sealing around Letchworth
Letchworth was laid out as a garden city in the early twentieth century. Its housing runs from the first garden city homes to newer builds, so older floors and new-home snagging both come up. Floors around Hertfordshire run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and each moves in its own way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
If you look after a building such as Hillshott Infant School and Nursery, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic. For buildings such as Church of St Paul, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

For landlords and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
The process
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we have agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint. A visit in Letchworth needs access to the work and a place to park close by. For outside work, let us know about side access, gates and any upper-floor joints.
- We start by checking the floor, the joint and what traffic it takes.
- Any old caulk, grout or sealant is raked or cut out.
- The joint is vacuumed clean and backing fitted where needed.
- The chosen sealant goes in, coloured to suit the floor.
- The joint is tooled neatly and the cure time explained.
Before we arrive
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Advice
Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Concrete repairs beyond the joint

- Floors that are uneven or need levelling

What else we do in Letchworth
Letchworth: your questions answered
Is floor joint sealing in Letchworth guaranteed?
All our work, in Letchworth and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Do you work for landlords with property near Letchworth Garden City station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Let us know what needs doing and where, with pictures by email if possible. We will ask anything else we need to know.
Why not just use caulk?
Not where the floor moves or gets wet. Caulk cracks as the floor moves and the gap reopens. A flexible sealant lasts longer there.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
How long does the job take?
That depends on how much there is to do, but most jobs take a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. We will tell you when we quote.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.

Common problems we fix in Letchworth
Timber floors and skirting shrink and swell through the year. In winter, with the heating on, timber dries and gaps open and they change again in summer.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
Letting a property close to Letchworth Garden City station? Then a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant.
What your quote should include
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- What guarantee comes with the work
- How hidden problems are handled
Why act early in Letchworth
Filling a skirting gap with caulk looks fine at first, so the gap reappears. A flexible sealant moves with the floor and keeps the joint sealed. Around Letchworth, failed sealant lets water into hidden places, such as under the floor, behind a panel or into a wall. Left alone, that means rot, damp and a bigger repair.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before work begins, so you know where you stand.
Why us?
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- We agree the colour with you first
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
- A choice of colours where the product allows
