Landlord and commercial work in St George in the East
For anyone letting property in or around St George in the East, several properties can go on one quote. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can be quoted together.
Surface by surface
Tiled floors
Large or heated tiled floors need room to move. Where needed, a line of grout is replaced with flexible sealant coloured to suit.
Wet room and bathroom floors
Mop water gets into any open joint at the edge of a bathroom floor. A neat silicone joint keeps it out.
Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
Don’t paint over silicone. If the joint will be painted, tell us beforehand so we use a paintable sealant.
A tiled floor that cracks along a line will keep cracking until it can move. Adding a movement joint early can stop cracks spreading to the tiles.

Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
What floor joint sealing looks like in St George in the East
Many of London’s new homes are flats in bigger developments, where snags may need reporting through the developer or the managing agent. Across Greater London, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they don’t all move the same way. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
For landlords with property near Shadwell station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies. Schools such as St Paul's Whitechapel Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.
