About our floor joint sealing in Widford
A threshold joint has to cope with feet, movement and sometimes water. We seal them with a flexible sealant suited to the floor finishes either side in a colour to suit. We work on skirting boards, thresholds and wet room & bathroom floors, and common reasons people get in touch are open joints around bathroom floor edges and floor edges that trap water and grime.
For a small place like Widford, the journey and access are planned in advance, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

What floor joint sealing looks like in Widford
Across Essex, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and each moves in its own way. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Mildmay Junior School, entrance and corridor floor joints take a lot of traffic. 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.

Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Look at floor joints each spring
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
- Use furniture pads near skirting
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
Lift furniture rather than sliding it over sealed joints. Sharp edges can cut the sealant.
Concrete joints damaged by traffic get worse quickly. Sealing them early protects the edges and the floor safer.

Are you ARBOMaster approved?

Do you seal warehouse floor joints?
Yes, from warehouses and units to offices and shops. We can plan around your opening times.
Does someone need to be in?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that generally means someone at home.
How long does floor joint sealing take?
Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon for most homes, including the preparation. We will confirm how long when we quote.
Is caulk good enough for skirting?
Caulk can’t cope with movement or water. Skirting joints move with the floor, so we use a flexible sealant that stretches.
What we’re called out for in Widford
Timber floors and skirting shrink and swell through the year. Heating dries timber and opens gaps along the skirting and they change again in summer.
The problems people normally mention when they call are:
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
Letting a property close to Chelmsford station? Then gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.

Different surfaces, different methods
Thresholds
Thresholds take daily traffic, so the sealant has to be tough as well as flexible and neatly finished.
Commercial floors
Commercial floors take more traffic than most homes. The sealant is chosen for the traffic the floor takes.
