Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in West Silvertown
Floors move, and the joint where they meet a wall, skirting, threshold or another floor has to move with them. We seal skirting gaps, tiled floor movement joints and concrete floor joints. We work on wet room & bathroom floors, thresholds and commercial floors, and people most often call us about caulk that has cracked where the floor moves and cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint.
Much of London’s new housing is flats in larger developments. In a new development, snags are often reported through the developer or the managing agent, and shower seals that fail early, skirting joints that open up and gaps at thresholds are all common snags.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

For landlords and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
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.
Questions from West Silvertown
Is parking a problem for a job in West Silvertown?
London parking needs a little planning, so let us know about permits, bays or a driveway when you book. The visit is then planned around what’s available.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Custom House station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
How soon can the floor be mopped?
Follow the cure time we give you. Light use comes first, cleaning and heavy traffic later.
Do you seal warehouse floor joints?
Yes. Old filler is cleaned out and the joint resealed with a floor-joint product. Tell us what runs over the floor when you ask for a quote.
Can grout be replaced with sealant on a tiled floor?
Often, yes. Straight cracks in grout often show where a movement joint was needed. We replace that grout with a flexible joint.
What do you put in the joint?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We’ll tell you what we’re using and why.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is Crawley. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.

Floor joint sealing in West Silvertown: local notes
Floors around Greater London run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and each moves in its own way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that. Many of London’s new homes are flats in bigger developments, where snagging may go through the developer or managing agent.
Community buildings like St Barnabas' Church are part of the picture too: floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others. Letting a property close to Custom House station? Then gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.

Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
Mop with a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor. Keeping the edges drier helps the sealant last longer.
Concrete joints damaged by traffic get worse quickly. Sealing them early protects the edges.
Leave it or put it right?
Caulk is quick and cheap, but it cracks where the joint moves or gets wet, so the gap reappears. A flexible sealant moves with the floor, so the joint stays closed. In London conversions, one flat’s bathroom is often above another flat’s ceiling, and a slow leak from a failed seal can end up in the flat below. Dealing with it early is far simpler.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.

Common problems we fix in West Silvertown
New floors settle once they’re in use. Gaps at the edges appear in the first year or so, and rigid fillers crack.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
- Failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
As a London address, West Silvertown can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

How the job changes by surface
Thresholds
Threshold joints get a lot of feet, so the sealant has to be tough as well as flexible and neatly finished.
Skirting boards
Skirting-to-floor joints are a regular job for us. We take out any cracked caulk before sealing so the bead sits on a clean surface.
DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
How it works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it normally takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. In a London area like West Silvertown, the main things to plan are parking and access: let us know about parking, the floor we’ll be working on and any lift or shared entrance.
- We start by looking at the floor, the gap and the traffic, then choose the product.
- Whatever is in the joint now, whether caulk, grout or sealant, comes out.
- 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.
- Finally we tool it smooth and explain when the floor can be used and cleaned.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
