What we’re called out for in Haggerston

Plenty of failed sealant has been laid over the top of older sealant. Fresh silicone cannot grip the old bead underneath, so it peels, leaks and hides mould behind it.

People usually contact us after spotting something like this:

  • Failed sealant on the screen profile
  • Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
  • Smears of silicone across the tiles
  • Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop

Homes close to Church of St Columba include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether you can choose the colour
  • What the quote includes, VAT included or not
  • Are they insured?
  • When the joint can take water or movement

Choosing a sealant specialist

Bathroom resealing in Haggerston

We fill the bath before sealing it. A full bath sits slightly lower than an empty one, so the bead is not stretched the first time someone gets in. It’s a small step that rushed reseals tend to skip. If you’re dealing with lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt and sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away, we can help.

Across London, a large share of homes are flats, conversions or mansion blocks, so a bathroom is often directly above a neighbour’s ceiling. That makes worn sealant and cracked grout in Haggerston more than a cosmetic job.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Haggerston as everywhere else we work.

FAQs for Haggerston

I live in a flat in Haggerston. 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.

I let a flat near Hoxton station. Can you help?

Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.

Is white the only colour available?

We can use white, clear or a colour to suit. On a worktop we colour-match where the joint shows.

My sealant has gone black. Can you sort it?

Yes, by replacing the sealant. Cleaning products may lighten it, but the lasting fix is new anti-fungal silicone on a clean, treated joint. Good ventilation helps keep it away.

Do you remove the old sealant?

Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.

Do you hold any approvals?

Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.

Can you quote for more than one area?

Of course. Doing several areas at once is generally more efficient.

Is it messy?

Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.

When it is not the sealant

In fairness, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:

  • Failed grout lines across the wall
  • A tray or bath that is cracked through
  • Tiles that have come away from the wall

If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think before booking.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Haggerston

London’s water is hard, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings. In a London flat, water from a failed bath or shower seal can reach the neighbours below, which is why it’s worth fixing early.

Rented homes near Hoxton station change hands often, and mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets. Haggerston is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

How the visit works

When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. The work usually takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen. In Haggerston, flats, stairs and shared entrances are part of the routine. If the building has a concierge, managing agent or access rules, tell us when you book.

  1. We protect the area and cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Next, the joint is cleaned and any mould is treated.
  3. The joint is left to dry, and baths are filled with water first.
  4. We apply anti-fungal sanitary silicone in one even bead and tool it neatly.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can get wet, generally after around 24 hours.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
  • Move anything stored near the joints
  • Keep children and pets away from the work area

Advice

What happens if it’s left?

A failed joint gets more costly to put right the longer it’s left. Water that gets behind a bath soaks into the floor, the panel and sometimes the ceiling below, turning a small job into a building repair. Converted houses in London often have a bathroom above someone else’s living room, so a small leak from tired sealant can mean a neighbour’s ceiling and a lot of disruption. Dealing with it early is far simpler.

What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.

How the job changes by surface

Kitchen worktops & upstands

Laminate worktops swell if water gets into the core. A continuous bead along the back keeps water out, as long as the worktop itself is firmly fixed.

Sinks & splashbacks

The edge of an inset sink is a common place for water to get under the worktop. We reseal the visible edge of the sink where it has failed.

What affects the quote in Haggerston

You’ll get a clear quote before work begins. It takes into account:

  • Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
  • Whether the work is at height
  • Which sealant suits the joint
  • The size of the job

There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll talk you through it.

Helping us quote

There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:

  • How we’d reach the joints
  • If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
  • Any previous sealing or DIY work
  • A few pictures by email, if you can

Call for a quick quote, or send an email if you’d rather. Describe what needs sealing and we’ll explain what’s involved and give you a clear price.

Looking after it afterwards

How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:

  • Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
  • Do not let bottles sit on the bead
  • Dry the bead with a towel now and then
  • Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting

Mould needs damp, so keep the room aired. Use the fan, or open a window, while you bathe and for a while afterwards, so the silicone gets a chance to dry.

Mould that starts as a few spots spreads through the bead. When it has grown right through, it rarely cleans out, and nearby grout often goes the same way. Replacing the sealant early keeps the job small.
