Thames View Estate questions
Is parking an issue for floor joint sealing in Thames View Estate?
In much of London, parking needs planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day run more smoothly.
I let a flat near Barking Riverside station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can go on one quote. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
Is there any odour?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Do you cover Thames View Estate?
Yes. We work in Thames View Estate, as part of our work across South East England, London and Scotland. For a quote, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Can you match the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Do you seal kitchen plinths to the floor?
Yes. Where a floor meets a bath panel, kitchen plinth or skirting in a wet area, we use a flexible silicone so water can’t get into the gap.
Floor joint sealing in Thames View Estate
Wet-area floor joints keep water out of the gap behind skirting and plinths. We seal them with a flexible, water-resistant sealant. We work on concrete floor joints, tiled floors and wet room & bathroom floors, and the jobs we see most are grout cracking in a straight line across a floor and gaps opening between the floor and skirting.
Shops, offices and commercial units across London have hard-wearing floors with movement joints that need resealing as they wear, and new homes need their plot mastic finished properly before handover, in Thames View Estate and beyond.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

Common problems we fix in Thames View Estate
An open floor joint fills with dirt and water. In wet areas, water runs into the gap at every clean and behind skirting and plinths.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
- Chipped and open joints in warehouse floors
- Gaps between floors and kitchen plinths
If you let a flat or house near Barking Riverside station, a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- How the colour is chosen
- What preparation is included
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
The process
Once we’re on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take a morning or an afternoon for most homes. In Thames View Estate, flats, stairs and shared entrances are part of the routine. Mention any building rules, key holders or managing agents when you book.
- We start by looking at the floor, the gap and the traffic, then choose the product.
- We take out any old caulk, sealant or grout along the line.
- We clean and vacuum the joint and fit backing where the depth needs setting.
- We apply a flexible sealant, or a floor-joint product on concrete, in a suitable colour.
- We tool the joint neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
How to prepare
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Advice
Different surfaces, different methods
Wet room and bathroom floors
Wet room floors rely on sound joints at the walls. It’s resealed with a sanitary silicone and we will say if the problem looks like more than the joint.
Thresholds
A threshold is where floors and frames meet. A flexible sealant suits both floor finishes.
Joints and finishes in Thames View Estate homes
Much of London’s new housing is flats in larger 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.
As a London address, Thames View Estate can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway. If you look after a building such as Thames View Infants, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.

Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
