Surface by surface
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Where mould keeps coming back, ventilation is normally part of the cause. We will reseal and tell you if extraction looks to be the issue.
Windows & doors
A frame that keeps leaking may not be the mastic. If the frame joint is not the cause, we’ll say so.
About our remedial sealant in Albany Park
Remedial work is what we do when sealant has failed or been done badly. New sealant over old, smeared beads, unsuitable products and hidden mould all need stripping out. If you’re dealing with floor or wall movement joints that have failed and kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop, we can help.
Across London, a large share of homes are flats, conversions or mansion blocks, and many bathrooms sit right above someone else’s ceiling. In Albany Park, that is a good reason to put tired sealant and grout right early.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

Common questions in Albany Park
Could a tired shower seal in my Albany Park flat affect the neighbours below?
Yes. In a flat, water from a failed bath or shower seal has only one way to go, and that’s down. A proper reseal before the leak starts is the easy fix.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Sidcup station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Can you match the sealant colour?
In most cases you can choose. We’ll tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before work begins.
Do you cover Albany Park?
Yes. We work in Albany Park, as part of our work across South East England, London and Scotland. For a quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Opening a window helps.
Can I do it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Can you reseal a split movement joint?
Yes. We cut out the failed sealant, fit backing and reseal with a flexible product.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We will give you the cure time for the product we used before we leave.
How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
- Deal with small splits early
- Run the fan after every shower
Keep an eye on the joint at first, especially if movement was the problem. Should anything change, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Movement joints that have split let water into the structure, and the longer it’s left, the more the joint edges break down. Resealing while the edges are sound is simpler.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Albany Park
We also work for property managers and facilities teams. We can quote a run of properties together, and we are fully insured.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Do you need remedial sealant in Albany Park?
A lot of failed joints have been sealed over rather than replaced. Silicone doesn’t bond to silicone, so the top layer lifts and water and mould collect between the two.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Beads that never stuck properly
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
In the older streets around St Lawrence church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
Questions to ask before booking
- How much experience the applicator has
- What the cure time is
- What happens if the job turns out different
- What insurance they hold
How it works
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. The work usually takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. For a job in Albany Park, parking and access are the things to plan: let us know about parking, the floor we will be working on and any lift or shared entrance.
- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.
- Mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The right product goes in, with backing where the joint moves.
- The joint is tooled and you are told about anything else we found.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Mention any tricky access
- Move anything stored near the joints
