Floor joint sealing in The Heath
Tiled floors can crack along the grout when there’s no room for movement. Where one is needed, we rake out the grout along the right line and replace it with flexible sealant coloured to suit the grout. We work on tiled floors, thresholds and skirting boards, and the jobs we see most are rigid edge joints in tiled floors and tiled floors with no room to move.
Work in a small place like The Heath just needs the journey and access planning, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Different surfaces, different methods
Thresholds
Thresholds between rooms meet two floors and often a door frame. A flexible sealant suits both floor finishes.
Tiled floors
Perimeter joints in tiled floors should be sealant, not grout. Grout at the edge is removed and replaced with sealant.
What floor joint sealing looks like in The Heath
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.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Mary, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. For landlords with property near Luton Airport Parkway station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies. If you look after a building such as Breachwood Green Junior Mixed and Infant School, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.

Your questions about floor joint sealing in The Heath
I let a flat near Luton Airport Parkway station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Is The Heath within the area you cover?
Yes. The Heath is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Opening a window helps.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we will agree access with you when we book.
What sealant do you use?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Is it messy?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints, and we clear up when we’re done.
My floor grout keeps cracking in a line. Can you help?
Often, yes, where it suits the floor. We remove the grout and seal the line with flexible sealant, giving the floor room to move.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, because it fails. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
- Don’t fill floor joints with caulk where they move or get wet
Lift furniture rather than sliding it over sealed joints. Sharp edges can cut the sealant especially in the first few days.
Sealing a gap while it’s small is a quick job. Left alone, they collect dirt and widen and are harder to clean out.
What happens on the day
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. It usually takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. Somewhere like The Heath needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We start by looking at the floor, the gap and the traffic, then choose the product.
- Old caulk, grout or sealant is removed from the joint.
- The joint is cleaned, vacuumed and backed where depth needs controlling.
- A flexible sealant, or a floor-joint sealant for concrete, is applied in a colour to suit.
- We tool the joint neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
Preparing for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
