Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Floor joint sealing in Ridge, done properly
Floors move, and the joint where they meet a wall, skirting, threshold or another floor has to move with them. We seal skirting gaps, tiled floor movement joints and concrete floor joints with a sealant suited to the movement and traffic. If you have caulk that has cracked where the floor moves and threshold joints that have opened or worn, we can put it right, on wet room & bathroom floors, concrete floor joints and commercial floors alike.
Somewhere as small as Ridge, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

What else we do in Ridge
Do you need floor joint sealing in Ridge?
Concrete floor joints break down when traffic runs over open or failed joints. Pallet trucks and trolleys knock the edges away and the joint gets wider.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Open joints that fill with dirt
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
If you look after a building such as St Giles' CofE Primary School, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.

What we do, step by step
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and clear up. It generally takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes. For a village or hamlet like Ridge, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- The room is cleared along the joints so we can reach them.
- We take out the cracked caulk, grout or old sealant.
- We clean and dry the edges of the joint.
- A flexible sealant suited to the floor is applied and tooled.
- Finally, we check the work and talk you through aftercare.
Preparing for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Tell us about any water getting in

Questions from Ridge
Is Ridge within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you cover Ridge for floor joint sealing?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Ridge is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear price.
What causes gaps between the floor and skirting?
Timber floors and skirting shrink and swell through the year. A flexible sealant closes the gap without cracking like caulk.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
Do the sealants smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Will I be able to paint over the new joint?
On joints you want to paint, yes. Silicone in bathrooms and kitchens cannot be painted, so tell us your plans.
Why not just use caulk?
Caulk is fine for dry joints that don’t move, but it splits where the joint moves or gets wet. We use a flexible sealant for most skirting and floor joints.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
What affects the cost of floor joint sealing
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The number of rooms or windows
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How much there is to do
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
Doing several joints on one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- The type of property
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Roughly how big the job is
- What’s wrong with the joints now
Call for a quick quote, or send an email if you’d rather. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we’ll explain what’s involved before giving you a price.
What the job involves on each surface
Wet room and bathroom floors
Bathroom floor edges get wet at every clean. A neat silicone joint keeps it out.
Thresholds
Two different floors meeting at a threshold move differently. We bridge them with a flexible bead.
What happens if it’s left?
Left open, concrete joints break down under traffic. A sealed joint supports the edges before they need a bigger repair. Older cottages and farmhouses around Ridge can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first and send you a clear quote before any work starts.

Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
- Do not paint over silicone
Keep heavy traffic off resealed concrete joints for the cure time we give you. Cone off the area if needed while it cures.
Concrete joints damaged by traffic get worse quickly. Early resealing helps keep the joint intact and the floor safer.
Joints and finishes in Ridge homes
Floors around Hertfordshire run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they do not all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
If you let a flat or house near Potters Bar station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty. Community buildings like Church of St Margaret are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.
