DIY sealant or a professional job?
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.
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, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Redbourn
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 in a matching colour. We work on commercial floors, skirting boards and tiled floors, and the jobs we see most are gaps between floors and kitchen plinths and perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout.
Homes around Redbourn range from older cottages to newer houses, and their floors range just as widely, each moving in its own way. Skirting and threshold joints need a sealant that suits the floor.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Floor joint sealing in Redbourn: local notes
Floors around Hertfordshire run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and 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 Redbourn Primary School, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early. Community buildings like Mount Zion Evangelical Church are part of the picture too: floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. If you let a flat or house near Harpenden station, a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant.
Redbourn is about 2 miles south-west of Harpenden, in Hertfordshire. For floor joint sealing in and around Redbourn, it’s easy to get a quote: please call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Surface by surface
Concrete floor joints
Old filler, dust and debris are cleaned out of the joint, vacuuming them clean. We fit backing where needed.
Thresholds
Where a tiled floor meets timber or carpet, the joint takes movement from both sides. We bridge them with a flexible bead.
What happens if it’s left?
Leaving skirting gaps until the next decorating job lets dirt and draughts in. Sealing them now is a short job in most rooms. In an older home around Redbourn, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What you get with us
- 12-month guarantee on every job
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels

Your questions about floor joint sealing in Redbourn
I let a flat near Harpenden station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can go on one quote. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Redbourn?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
Generally it’s movement: timber drying in winter, floors settling, or caulk that can’t stretch. A flexible sealant stays closed as the floor moves.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
How much does floor joint sealing cost in Redbourn?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing and where.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep dirt out of the joints
- Do not paint over silicone
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
Avoid flooding the floor when you clean. Keeping the edges drier helps the sealant last longer.
In wet areas, an open floor joint lets water reach the subfloor. Resealing early keeps it out.
