Remedial sealant & repairs in Abinger, Surrey
Removing failed, mouldy or leaking sealant and putting it right for householders, landlords and businesses in Abinger. Fully insured, ARBOMaster approved and guaranteed for a year.
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
How it works
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. Somewhere as small as Abinger, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start by checking the joint for movement, leaks and the reason it failed.
- We strip the joint completely, removing any layers below.
- Next, any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We use the right backing and sealant for any joint that moves.
- We tool the joint and tell you about anything else that needs attention.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

About our remedial sealant in Abinger
A joint that keeps letting you down needs more than another bead. Send pictures when you phone 0345 464 0079 or email us. If you have sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted and worktop sealant that has shrunk and split, we can help, whatever the surface.
Around Abinger, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats. The work is the same as anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
What remedial sealant looks like in Abinger
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
Managing a site like Belmont Prep School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. Rented homes near Gomshall station change hands often, and botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants. In the older streets around Church of St James, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

How the job changes by surface
Worktops & kitchens
Kitchen joints often have grease and cleaning residue deep in them, so cleaning takes longer than in a bathroom.
Movement & expansion joints
Joints filled with mortar, grout or rigid filler cannot move. Where it can be raked out, we replace it with flexible sealant.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
- Don’t add new sealant on top of old
Clean gently: a mild cleaner and a soft cloth, with no blades or scourers.
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.

Abinger: your questions answered
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Gomshall station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Do you cover Abinger for remedial sealant?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Abinger is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear 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.
Can you fix a reseal that hasn’t worked?
Yes. All the sealant comes out, we find out why it failed, and the joint is resealed properly.
Can failed expansion joints be resealed?
Yes. If a joint has been filled with mortar or rigid filler, we rake it out where possible, then the joint is sealed properly.
What information do you need?
A short description and the location, plus pictures if you have them. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We can plan bigger jobs in stages.
Why act early in Abinger
Repeat failures have a cause. Taking time to find the cause, whether it’s movement, a leak or the wrong product, is what stops it happening again. Around Abinger, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.
