- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
For landlords with property near St Margarets (Herts) station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.

Floor joint sealing in Little Amwell
Wet-area floor joints keep water out of the gap behind skirting and plinths. We seal them with a flexible, water-resistant sealant. We work on skirting boards, concrete floor joints and wet room & bathroom floors, and common reasons people get in touch are open joints that fill with dirt and skirting that has pulled away from the floor.
In a village or hamlet like Little Amwell, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

What happens if it’s left?
Open joints along wet floors let water into the subfloor and behind skirting. Dealing with it early keeps the repair to the joint. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Little Amwell, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.

Little Amwell: your questions answered
Can you help a landlord with a rental near St Margarets (Herts) station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Little Amwell?
Yes, Little Amwell is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
What should I tell you?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few pictures.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we will put it right.
Is there any odour?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
In most cases you can choose. We’ll tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before we start.
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 you hold any approvals?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
- Don’t slide heavy items over sealed joints
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
Lift furniture rather than sliding it over sealed joints. Sharp edges can cut the sealant.
A gap under the skirting collects dust and lets draughts through. Sealing it early keeps the room cleaner and stops it getting worse.

Floor joint sealing in Little Amwell: local notes
Across Hertfordshire, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and each moves in its own way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
Managing a site like Hertford Heath Primary and Nursery School? Then floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up. For buildings such as Church of the Holy Trinity, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

Can I do it myself?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
When it is not the sealant
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Floors that are uneven or need levelling
- Loose, hollow or cracked tiles, which need a tiler
- Large cracks that need a surveyor
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think before you book.

What we do, step by step
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors, and the area is left clean. For a village or hamlet like Little Amwell, the journey is planned in advance: 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.
- We look at the gap and the floor type and agree the right sealant.
- Whatever is in the joint now, whether caulk, grout or sealant, comes out.
- The joint is vacuumed clean, with backing fitted wherever depth matters.
- A flexible sealant, or a floor-joint sealant for concrete, is applied in a colour to suit.
- We tool the joint neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the work
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
