- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
Should I try it myself first?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
About our floor joint sealing in Piccotts End
A threshold joint has to cope with feet, movement and sometimes water. We seal them with a flexible sealant suited to the floor finishes either side in a colour to suit. Typical jobs include threshold joints that have opened or worn and concrete floor joints that have broken down, across skirting boards, tiled floors and concrete floor joints.
Around Piccotts End, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

Piccotts End questions
I let a flat near Hemel Hempstead station. Can you help?

What do you put in the joint?

What do you need from me for a quote?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
Do you seal kitchen plinths to the floor?

How do I get a quote for floor joint sealing in Piccotts End?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote and we’ll talk you through it.
Why has a gap opened under my skirting?
Normally it’s movement: heating drying the timber, or a filler that’s too rigid. A flexible sealant stays closed as the floor moves.
Signs you need floor joint sealing in Piccotts End
A floor laid tight to the walls has no room to move. As it expands, the edges lift or crack, and the sealant or grout breaks.
The most common problems we see are:
- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
For landlords with property near Hemel Hempstead station, a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant.

How it works
Once we are on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. In a small place like Piccotts End, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
- Any old caulk, grout or sealant is raked or cut out.
- 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.
How to prepare
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

New homes and floors in Piccotts End
Hemel Hempstead, which Piccotts End is part of, is one of England’s post-war new towns. Hemel Hempstead has kept growing, with newer neighbourhoods added to the original town. Newer homes need snagging; older ones need their joints renewing. 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.
Community buildings like St Mary's Church are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. Managing a site like Galley Hill Primary School and Nursery? Then floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.

When it is not the sealant

Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Why deal with it now?
Filling a skirting gap with caulk looks fine at first, but the movement soon cracks it. A flexible sealant moves with the floor, so the joint stays closed. In a small place like Piccotts End, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
We do not show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.
