Why act early in Shillington
Left open, concrete joints break down under traffic. Resealing it early protects the edges and keeps the damage down. In a small place like Shillington, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
- Use a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
Keep heavy furniture from dragging across the joints. Sharp edges can cut the sealant before it has fully cured.
Concrete joints damaged by traffic get worse quickly. Sealing them early protects the edges and the floor safer.

Floor joint sealing around Shillington
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 landlords with property near Arlesey station, a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Shillington Lower School, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.

What the job involves on each surface
Concrete floor joints
Concrete floors have sawn or formed joints to control cracking. They’re resealed with a product chosen for what runs over them.
Thresholds
Where a tiled floor meets timber or carpet, the joint takes movement from both sides. A flexible sealant bridges them.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.

Most jobs take a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. In a small place like Shillington, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
