Floor joint sealing in Wallington: local notes
Floors around Hertfordshire run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they don’t all move the same way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
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. Letting a property close to Ashwell & Morden station? Then gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.
Wallington is about 5 miles east of Letchworth, in Hertfordshire. Jobs in Wallington get the same care as everywhere else we work: the old material taken out, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee. 381 places in Hertfordshire are on our list, large and small. We also work in Chelmsford, about 31 miles from Wallington.
Work in SG7 works the same way as everywhere else we cover. If you need floor joint sealing at a property on The Street and Kit's Lane or a nearby road, our applicators can take on the job. If you are just outside Wallington, we cover Clothall (2 miles south-west), Baldock (3 miles west), Weston (3 miles south-west), Walkern (5 miles south) and St Nicholas (5 miles south-west). Further out, we also cover Stevenage (6 miles south-west), Bishop's Stortford (14 miles south-east), Welwyn Garden City (14 miles south), Harpenden (15 miles south-west), Hitchin (7 miles west) and Hertford (13 miles south).
Local landmarks in Wallington
The nearest railway station is Ashwell & Morden station, about 2.9 miles north. A little further out are Ashwell Village Museum (3.9 miles north-west) and Fairfield Hospital (5.6 miles west). For a walk, there’s Hawkins Wood.
How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Look at floor joints each spring
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
Mop with a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor. Keeping the edges drier helps the sealant last longer.
Once concrete joint edges start to break, wheels make it worse. Early resealing helps keep the joint intact.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Wallington questions
Do you cover Wallington for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Wallington is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing.
I let a flat near Ashwell & Morden station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Ventilation helps.
Why not just use caulk?
Only on dry joints that don’t move. It splits once the floor shifts, so the gap comes back. A flexible sealant is the better choice.
What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will explain our choice.
Why has a gap opened under my skirting?
Floors and walls move a little with the seasons, and new floors settle. We close it with a flexible sealant that moves with the floor.
Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Different surfaces, different methods
Concrete floor joints
Sawn joints in concrete floors control where it cracks. We reseal them with a floor-joint product suited to the traffic.
Skirting boards
Skirting gaps are one of the most common floor joints we seal. The old caulk is removed first.
What affects the cost of floor joint sealing
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The number and length of the joints
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.
Helping us quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Whether it has been sealed before
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email photos if that’s easy.
What sealant work cannot fix
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Cracked or broken concrete slabs
- Large cracks that need a surveyor
- Failed waterproofing under a wet room floor
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think.
