Why it’s worth doing now in Sleapshyde
Leaving skirting gaps until the next decorating job lets dirt and draughts in. It’s a quick job to seal them now. Around Sleapshyde, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.
What you get with us
- Old sealant always removed completely
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
- Full insurance on every job
- 20+ years of sealant experience
FAQs for Sleapshyde
Will you come out to Sleapshyde?
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.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Welham Green station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Will I be able to paint over the new joint?
Where the skirting will be painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. Silicone will not take paint, so it’s kept for wet areas and unpainted joints.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we will put it right.
Where are you based?
We’re a Crawley-based firm. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
How the visit works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself generally takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere as small as Sleapshyde, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
- We remove what’s in the joint now.
- The joint is vacuumed clean and backing fitted where needed.
- The chosen sealant goes in, coloured to suit the floor.
- The joint is tooled neatly and the cure time explained.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

New homes and floors in Sleapshyde
Floors around Hertfordshire run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and each moves in its own way.

Newer neighbourhoods have been added to Hatfield over the years. Newer homes need snagging; older ones need their joints renewing.
Community buildings like Church of St Mark are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear. Managing a site like Colney Heath Junior Mixed Infant and Nursery School? Then entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic.
