Common questions in Royal Docks
Is parking an issue for floor joint sealing in Royal Docks?
In much of London, parking needs planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day run more smoothly, so mention what’s available when you book.
Do you cover Royal Docks for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Royal Docks is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Where do you work from?
Our base is in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Can you match the sealant colour?
We’ll suggest a colour to suit the surroundings. The product needed can limit the range.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, always. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.
How long does the job take?
As a guide, most jobs take a morning or an afternoon for most homes. Larger jobs naturally take longer.
Why not just use caulk?
Caulk works on still, dry joints, but it splits where the joint moves or gets wet. For most floor joints, we use a flexible sealant.
Floor joint sealing in Royal Docks
Thresholds are where two floors, or a floor and a door, meet. We seal them with a flexible sealant suited to the floor finishes either side. We work on commercial floors, thresholds and concrete floor joints, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps opening between the floor and skirting and tiled floors with no room to move.
Much of London’s new housing is flats in larger developments. Snagging there often goes through the developer or managing agent, and failed shower seals, open skirting joints and gaps at thresholds are typical.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

What sealant work can’t fix
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’ll tell you before we start. It won’t solve:
- Bouncy or failing floorboards
- Structural movement or subsidence
- Concrete repairs beyond the joint
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Thresholds
- Skirting boards
- Tiled floors
- Commercial floors
- Wet room & bathroom floors
- Concrete floor joints
Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
When to call us in Royal Docks
Some floors were never given a perimeter gap or movement joint. It pushes against the walls and skirting as it expands, and the sealant or grout breaks.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
- Tiled floors with no room to move
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
Community buildings like Church of the Ascension are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.

- Is VAT in the price?

Floor joint sealing in Royal Docks: local notes
Across Greater London, 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. Many of London’s new homes are flats in bigger developments, where snags may need reporting through the developer or the managing agent.
Managing a site like Calverton Primary School? Then floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early. If you let a flat or house near Custom House station, a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant.

Different surfaces, different methods
Skirting boards
Gaps between skirting and floor open as timber and floors move. A flexible sealant closes the gap without cracking.
Commercial floors
Washroom and kitchen floors in commercial buildings need sound edge joints. We reseal them with a sealant suited to wet areas.
Why it’s worth doing now in Royal Docks
Floor joints left open collect dirt that’s hard to clean out and makes the floor look worn. Sealed joints are easier to keep clean and finishes the floor. Damp from a failed joint spreads quietly in older London brickwork and timber, and once it shows in Royal Docks, the repair is bigger than a sealant job.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.
