About our floor joint sealing in Norton
Large tiled floors, and those over underfloor heating, often need movement joints. We can turn a line of grout into a movement joint by replacing it with flexible sealant. We work on skirting boards, tiled floors and commercial floors, and the jobs we see most are floor edges that trap water and grime and perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout.
Work in a small place like Norton just needs the journey and access planning, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

What happens on the day
At the end, we look at the finished work together. The visit itself normally takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes, depending on how much there is to do. In a small place like Norton, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by checking the floor, the joint and what traffic it takes.
- We remove what’s in the joint now.
- The joint is vacuumed clean and backing fitted where needed.
- We apply the sealant in a colour that suits the floor.
- We tool it neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

FAQs for Norton
I let a flat near Baldock station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Is Norton in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Norton is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
What causes gaps between the floor and skirting?
Usually it’s movement: timber drying in winter, floors settling, or caulk that cannot stretch. A flexible bead keeps up with the movement.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Can you use decorators’ caulk instead?
Caulk works on still, dry joints, but it cracks where there’s movement or water. For most floor joints, we use a flexible sealant.
Do you use a paintable sealant?
For painted skirting, we use a flexible product that can be painted. Silicone isn’t made to be painted, so it’s kept for wet areas and unpainted joints.
Can you seal where the floor meets the bath panel?
Yes. Wet-area floor joints are sealed with a flexible, water-resistant silicone so water can’t get into the gap.
Is it worth trying it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
What affects the cost of floor joint sealing
There’s no set price list. What we look at:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The size of the job
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Working hours on commercial sites
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.
Asking for a quote
You do not need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Roughly how big the job is
- Where the property is
- A few pictures by email, if you can
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is. When it suits you, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
New homes and floors in Norton
Letchworth Garden City, which Norton is part of, 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 floor and skirting joints, and sealant in new homes, are all part of the work there. 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 let a flat or house near Baldock station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Norton St Nicholas CofE (VA) Primary School, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Nicholas, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

Surface by surface
Wet room and bathroom floors
In a wet room, the floor-to-wall joint is a key line of defence. It’s resealed with a sanitary silicone, and we’ll tell you if the leak seems to come from elsewhere.
Skirting boards
If the skirting is painted, a paintable flexible sealant works well. Where water is involved, silicone is the better choice.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
Follow the cure time before walking on or cleaning the joint. Feet are normally fine before mopping or wheeled traffic, and we’ll tell you both.
Water getting into floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens can damage what’s underneath. A sound seal stops that happening.
Why act early in Norton
Not every floor joint takes the same sealant: skirting and tiled floors need flexibility, wet areas need water resistance and concrete needs a product suited to wheels. Getting that choice wrong is a common reason joints fail. In a small place like Norton, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Doing several joints on one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We’ll send you a clear quote for the lot.

When it is not the sealant
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- A tiled floor that needs relaying
- Cracked or broken concrete slabs
- Water getting under the tiles from elsewhere
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly.
