About our remedial sealant in Albury
Getting old sealant out properly is slow, careful work. 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. If you have gaps opening along the back of the worktop and mould trapped under a layer of silicone, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Somewhere as small as Albury, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
- Never seal over old silicone
- Do not point over movement joints
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
If the joint ever needs renewing, have it cut out, not sealed over. New silicone does not bond to old, so the old bead should always come out first.
Mould under a second layer of sealant keeps growing out of sight. When it finally shows, the whole bead needs to come out.
What we do, step by step
There’s no need to move everything out, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out for a typical job. In a small place like Albury, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We look at how the sealant has failed and check for movement or a leak path.
- All the old sealant comes out, including any layers underneath.
- We clean the joint, treat any mould and let it dry.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Advice
What we are called out for in Albury
Even good sealant ages. Over the years it shrinks, hardens and gets colonised by mould, especially in damp, poorly aired rooms. At that point it has to come out.
The most common problems we see are:
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
In and around Albury, as anywhere, good remedial sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Before booking anyone
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Is the old sealant removed completely?

Places near Albury
What else we do in Albury
Different surfaces, different methods
Leaking trays & enclosures
If the tray is cracked, or the leak is from the valve or waste, sealant won’t fix it. We say so rather than reseal.
Movement & expansion joints
Movement joints in floors, walls and façades need a flexible sealant set to the right depth. Failed sealant is cut out, backing rod or tape is fitted and the joint resealed.
What affects the cost of remedial sealant
We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:
- The type of sealant required
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The number of rooms or windows
- Mould in or behind the old joints
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll talk you through it.

Common questions in Albury
Is there a guarantee on remedial sealant in Albury?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Will you come out to Albury?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
How long does the work take?
Allow a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. You will know the timing when we quote.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes, regularly. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area.
What do you need from me for a quote?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
Will there be a smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
Is it messy?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and we clear up when we’re done.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Albury
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Homes close to Church of St Helen include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
