About our remedial sealant in Thames View Estate
Removing failed sealant is the hardest part of the job. We cut out every layer, clear the residue and degrease the surfaces, without scratching tiles, trays or frames. New sealant only bonds to a clean, dry joint. We’re often asked to deal with floor or wall movement joints that have failed and thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles, on expansion joints, botched or over-sealed joints and shrunken worktop sealant.
Across London, a large share of homes are flats, conversions or mansion blocks, and many bathrooms sit right above someone else’s ceiling. In Thames View Estate, that is a good reason to put tired sealant and grout right early.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:

Signs you need remedial sealant in Thames View Estate
How a joint is built matters as much as the product. Sealant packed too deep, or stuck to the back of the joint as well as the sides, cannot stretch, so it tears when the joint moves. Backing sets the depth and stops that.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
- Black mould underneath the bead
Schools such as Thames View Infants are buildings too, and washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
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.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Surface by surface
Worktops & kitchens
A loose worktop splits its sealant. It needs fixing down first, and we will tell you if we find it.
Over-sealed & botched joints
Botched joints sometimes have damaged edges from earlier scraping. We take care not to make it worse, and tell you about any damage we find.
Common questions in Thames View Estate
I live in a flat in Thames View Estate. Can a failed seal leak into the flat below?
Yes, it can. Water that gets past failed sealant or cracked grout can run under the bath or tray and show up on the ceiling below. Replacing the sealant and grout before that happens is much less trouble than repairing a neighbour’s ceiling.
Do you work for landlords with property near Barking Riverside station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned.
Does someone need to be in?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
How long does remedial resealing take?
It takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. You will know the timing when we quote.
What happens if the problem is the tray or the plumbing?
In that case, we tell you what we’ve found. You may need a plumber or bathroom fitter before any new sealant goes on.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Thames View Estate homes and their sealant
London’s water is hard, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings. London has a lot of flats and conversions, and a failed shower or bath seal in one can show up on the ceiling below, so tired sealant is best dealt with early.
Thames View Estate is in London, so parking needs planning: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. Rented homes near Barking Riverside station change hands often, and failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.

How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Never seal over old silicone
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
- Deal with small splits early
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
Give the new sealant its full cure time: follow the cure time we give you.
Movement joints that have split let water into the structure, and the longer it’s left, the more the joint edges break down. A joint with sound edges is far easier to reseal.
Why it’s worth doing now in Thames View Estate
Ripping out a bathroom isn’t generally needed. When the fittings are sound, stripping and resealing the joints is often enough. If they’re not, we’ll tell you. In a London flat, a failed joint rarely stays your problem alone: water from a shower or window joint can reach the flat below, and gaps in fire-stopping matter to everyone in the building.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.

The process
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out.

- Surrounding tiles, trays and frames are protected first.
- The botched or failed sealant is cut away completely.
- We clean and degrease the joint and look for signs of movement or water.
