Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Northaw
The gap under a skirting board often opens as floors and walls move with the seasons. Decorators’ caulk generally cracks where there’s movement, so we use a flexible sealant that moves with the floor. We work on concrete floor joints, thresholds and wet room & bathroom floors, and common reasons people get in touch are worn sealant at door thresholds and cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens.
For a small place like Northaw, the journey and access are planned in advance, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Northaw and everywhere else we cover.

New homes and floors in Northaw
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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Northaw Church of England Primary School, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Parish Church of St Thomas A Becket, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. For landlords with property near Cuffley station, a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant.

How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
- Do not paint over silicone
- Use furniture pads near skirting
Mop with a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor. Less water at the edges helps the joints last.
Open skirting gaps let in draughts, dust and sometimes insects. Sealing it early keeps the room cleaner and the edges sound.
What we do, step by step
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint, including the tidy-up. Somewhere as small as Northaw, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- 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.
- We apply the sealant in a colour that suits the floor.
- The joint is tooled neatly and the cure time explained.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

What else we do in Northaw
Landlords, agents and businesses in Northaw
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we will give you a quote.
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
When something else is needed
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’ll tell you before we start. It will not solve:
- Large cracks that need a surveyor
- Tiles that have lifted or broken
- Damaged concrete that needs breaking out and repairing
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we seal
- Tiled floors
- Wet room & bathroom floors
- Concrete floor joints
- Thresholds
- Commercial floors
- Skirting boards
Why deal with it now?
An open concrete floor joint gets wider every time something heavy crosses it. Resealing it early protects the edges and keeps the damage down. Around Northaw, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.
Why book with us
- Over 20 years’ experience
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- Colour agreed with you before we start
- We never seal over old sealant
What affects the cost of floor joint sealing
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The amount of work
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
Asking for a quote
To make quoting easier, please include:
- The rough size of the job
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Where the property is
- A few photos by email, if you can
Every job is quoted individually, so the first step is telling us about yours. Simply call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and describe the job, and photos are welcome.
