- Torn expansion joints
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
Signs you need remedial sealant in Bassett Green
Movement tears sealant that is not designed for it. A bath that flexes, a tray that rocks or a building joint that opens and closes split any bead that’s too stiff or too thin.
The problems people generally mention when they call include:
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
Schools such as Bassett Green Primary School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
What your quote should include
- How much experience the applicator has
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Is VAT in the price?
Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Bassett Green
Getting old sealant out properly is slow, careful work. Every layer is cut out, the residue cleaned off and the joint degreased, without scratching tiles, trays or frames. New sealant only bonds to a clean, dry joint. If you have caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area and over-sealed joints coming away, we can help.
In a smaller place like Bassett Green, homes are mostly houses and bungalows rather than flats, some older and some much newer. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do in a big town.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

When it isn’t the sealant
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we will tell you before work begins. It will not solve:
- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
- Plumbing leaks behind walls or under trays
- Movement from fittings that aren’t supported
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Failed movement joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Expansion joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Check trays and worktops do not move
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
- Run the fan after every shower
If we have found a cause, such as a loose tray or a leaking waste, get it fixed, because the new sealant can’t hold back a problem underneath.
A split movement joint lets rain into walls and floors, and the longer it’s left, the more the joint edges break down. Resealing while the edges are sound is simpler.
What the job involves on each surface
Windows & doors
Frames resealed over the top end up with hard, layered mastic. All of it is cut out and the frame and wall cleaned before backing and resealing.
Worktops & kitchens
Kitchen joints often have grease and cleaning residue deep in them, so cleaning takes longer than in a bathroom before resealing.
What affects the cost of remedial sealant
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The type of sealant required
- How many areas need sealing
- Working hours on commercial sites
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
To make quoting easier, please include:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Whether it has been sealed before
- How we’d reach the joints
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking

Bassett Green: your questions answered
Is Bassett Green within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Bassett Green?
Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
What information do you need?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
Is it messy?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Which products do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Can you take off two layers of silicone?
Yes. We remove every layer; new silicone doesn’t bond to old silicone, which is why over-sealing fails.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.

If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.

- Every layer of failed sealant is stripped out.
- The joint is degreased and checked for movement and leaks.
