Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Tring
Floors move, and the joint where they meet a wall, skirting, threshold or another floor has to move with them. Skirting-to-floor gaps, tiled floor joints and concrete joints are all sealed using a product that suits the floor. We work on thresholds, concrete floor joints and wet room & bathroom floors, and the jobs we see most are gaps at thresholds between rooms and failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels.
In smaller places like Tring, new homes tend to come as small developments or single plots. The sealant around baths, showers, frames and skirtings needs to be right from the start.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
- Keep dirt out of the joints
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
Avoid flooding the floor when you clean. Less water at the edges helps the joints last.
Cracks along tile grout lines come back unless the movement is dealt with. Adding a movement joint early can stop cracks spreading to the tiles.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Common questions in Tring
Do you cover Tring for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Tring is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Do you work for landlords with property near Tring station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Can grout be replaced with sealant on a tiled floor?
Often, yes, at the edges and along suitable lines. The grout is raked out and replaced with a flexible sealant in a colour to suit.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Can you seal where the floor meets the bath panel?
Yes. We cut out any old sealant or caulk and reseal with flexible silicone.

Can I do it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Surface by surface
Skirting boards
If the skirting is painted, a paintable flexible sealant works well. Where water is involved, silicone is the better choice.
Thresholds
A threshold is where floors and frames meet. A flexible sealant suits both floor finishes.
For landlords and businesses
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too in Tring and across Hertfordshire. We can quote a run of properties together, and we are fully insured for the work.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Common problems we fix in Tring
Decorators’ caulk is often used along skirting because it’s cheap and paintable. In a joint that moves or gets wet, it splits, which is why so many skirting joints look broken.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
Community buildings like Church of St Peter St Paul (church of England) are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the sealant suits the joint

- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
How it works
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes, and the area is left clean. In a smaller place like Tring, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- We start by checking the floor, the joint and what traffic it takes.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
