Landlord and commercial work in Ashurst
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we will quote.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
How we handle remedial sealant in Ashurst
Decorators’ caulk in a shower, bathroom silicone on a window, a rigid filler in a movement joint won’t last, however tidy it looks. We take it out and use a sealant made for that joint. If you have dark patches showing through the sealant and products that weren’t meant for the joint, we can put it right, on shrunken worktop sealant, expansion joints and mouldy bath & shower sealant alike.
Somewhere as small as Ashurst, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Your questions about remedial sealant in Ashurst
Can you do remedial sealant in Ashurst?
Yes, Ashurst is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
What guarantee comes with remedial sealant in Ashurst?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes, regularly. Several properties can be quoted together.
How do I get a quote for remedial sealant in Ashurst?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote.
What do you put in the joint?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We’ll tell you what we’re using and why.
Can you reseal a split movement joint?
Yes. Backing sets the depth and stops the sealant sticking to the back.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Is there any odour?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Clean sealant with mild products only
- Check ceilings under showers for marks
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
Keep the room ventilated: run the fan during and after showers, or open a window.
A split movement joint lets rain into walls and floors, and left long enough, the edges of the joint can crumble. Resealing while the edges are sound is simpler.
When to call us in Ashurst
Silicone only bonds to surfaces that are clean and dry. Residue, moisture or dust left in the joint weaken the bond, so it starts lifting sooner than it should.
The most common problems we see are:
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
If you live in an older home near The Parish Church of St James, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

When something else is needed
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Failed tanking or loose tiles behind the sealant
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacing)
- Plumbing leaks behind walls or under trays
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.

The process
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The visit itself generally takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out, depending on the amount of work. Somewhere like Ashurst needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We start by checking the joint for movement, leaks and the reason it failed.
- Every layer of old sealant is cut and cleaned out.
- Next, any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- Where the joint moves, backing and a flexible sealant suited to the movement go in.
- We tool the joint and tell you about anything else that needs attention.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Leaking trays & enclosures
If the tray is cracked, or the leak is from the valve or waste, sealant will not fix it. We will tell you what we find.
Worktops & kitchens
Kitchen joints often have grease and cleaning residue deep in them, so cleaning takes longer than in a bathroom.
DIY versus a professional finish
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
