We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

- Movement from fittings that are not supported
- A tray or bath that’s cracked
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think.

Remedial sealant in Bean
Removing failed sealant is the hardest part of the job. We cut out every layer, clear the residue and degrease the surfaces, without scratching tiles, trays or frames. Only then can new sealant bond. We work on botched or over-sealed joints, mouldy bath & shower sealant and shrunken worktop sealant, and common reasons people get in touch are black mould underneath the bead and floor or wall movement joints that have failed.
Somewhere as small as Bean, 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.

Different surfaces, different methods
Movement & expansion joints
A movement joint must be able to stretch. We remove the failed sealant, fit backing and reseal with a low-modulus product.
Over-sealed & botched joints
Every layer has to come out, and silicone residue is cleaned off the tiles too. Only a clean joint will take a new bead.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
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.
If you manage several properties in or around Bean, jobs at different addresses can be quoted together. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs.
What happens if it’s left?
DIY removal often leaves scratches and a film of residue, and any film left behind stops new sealant sticking. Careful stripping is where most of our time goes. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Bean, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
Why us?
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- We never seal over old sealant
- Sealant colour chosen to suit
- Trusted Arbo and Everbuild sealants

What we do, step by step
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The job generally takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. Somewhere as small as Bean, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- 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.
- Next, any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- Moving joints get backing and a flexible sealant to suit.
- We tool the joint and tell you about anything else that needs attention.

Common problems we fix in Bean
Products get mixed up: acrylic caulk in a wet area, a general-purpose sealant on a moving joint, or an acetoxy silicone on natural stone or some metals. Each fails in its own way.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
Schools such as Bean Primary School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
Questions to ask before you book
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are

FAQs for Bean
Do you cover smaller places like Bean?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is Bean in your area for remedial sealant?
Yes, Bean is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Do the sealants smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
What if the leak is not the sealant?
You will hear it from us. A cracked tray, faulty valve or leaking waste needs a different trade, and we will not reseal for the sake of it.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Which products do you use?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
