Remedial sealant in Abinger Hammer, done properly
With more than 20 years’ experience, our applicators have seen most of the ways sealant can fail. We’re ARBOMaster approved and fully insured, and remedial work carries our one-year guarantee. If you are dealing with black mould underneath the bead and decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower, we can help, on expansion joints, leaking tray & enclosure joints and failed movement joints alike.
In a village or hamlet like Abinger Hammer, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Why act early in Abinger Hammer
Stripping out botched sealant adds time to a reseal, but rarely a lot: the work takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. It’s far less disruption than resealing the same joint again and again. In a small place like Abinger Hammer, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.

When to call us in Abinger Hammer
A lot of failed joints have been sealed over rather than replaced. Silicone doesn’t bond to silicone, so the new layer peels, and damp and mould settle between them.
The most common problems we see are:
- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
Letting a property close to Gomshall station? Then botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.

Questions from Abinger Hammer
Can you do remedial sealant in Abinger Hammer?
Yes, Abinger Hammer is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Abinger Hammer?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do I need to be at home?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
Can you remove sealant that’s been put over old sealant?
Yes. Stripping layered sealant takes longer than a normal reseal, but it’s the only way the new joint will last.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Generally, yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours for many products, and we’ll agree it with you first.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
The process
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, do the work and clear up. It normally takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. Somewhere as small as Abinger Hammer, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by checking the joint for movement, leaks and the reason it failed.
- Every layer of old sealant is cut and cleaned out.
- We clean the joint, treat any mould and let it dry.
- Where the joint moves, backing and a flexible sealant suited to the movement go in.
- The new joint is tooled neatly and we explain anything else we found.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
