Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
- Check ceilings under showers for marks
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
Keep an eye on the joint at first, especially if movement was the problem. If anything changes, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Warning signs: sealant lifting at the ends, a second bead visible on top of the first, black mould under the silicone, or stains below a bathroom. Any of them means it’s time for remedial work.
Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Aldwych
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. Common call-outs are for a shower that leaks however often it’s resealed and sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface, across botched or over-sealed joints, leaking tray & enclosure joints and expansion joints.
In much of London, period terraces have been converted into flats over the years, and bathrooms were often squeezed into small rooms. A compact bathroom that steams up every day is hard on silicone and grout.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

Why deal with it now?
Another bead over the top won’t fix a failed joint. It doesn’t grip the old layer, leaving the leak in place and one more layer to cut out later. Damp from a failed joint spreads quietly in older London brickwork and timber, and once it shows in Aldwych, the repair is bigger than a sealant job.

Aldwych homes and their sealant
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. London’s water is hard, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
For an older house near a landmark such as St Mary le Strand, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. For landlords with property near London Charing Cross station, botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants. Managing a site like St Clement Danes CofE Primary School? Then washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.

Aldwych questions
Is parking a problem for a job in Aldwych?
London parking needs a little planning, so let us know about permits, bays or a driveway when you book. That way the visit can be planned around it.
Do you take on hotel work around Aldwych?
Yes, we work for hotels as well as homes and businesses. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Do you cover Aldwych?
Yes. We cover Aldwych and the rest of Greater London, as part of our work across South East England, London and Scotland. To book, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Will you leave a mess?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
How long does the work take?
The number of joints and layers decides it. We will tell you before work begins.
Should I try DIY first?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Is there any odour?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Ventilation helps.
What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will explain our choice.
For landlords and businesses
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
Should I try it myself first?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.
What affects the quote in Aldwych
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- The number of rooms or windows
- Whether the work is at height
- The type of sealant required
- Mould in or behind the old joints
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Helping us quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to know:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- A few pictures by email, if you can

What happens on the day
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out, and the area is left clean. For a job in Aldwych, 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.
- The failure is looked at first, so we know whether it’s sealant, movement or water from elsewhere.
- 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
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
