What happens on the day
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. In Belvedere, flats, stairs and shared entrances are part of the routine. Mention any building rules, key holders or managing agents when you book.
- Surrounding tiles, trays and frames are protected first.
- The botched or failed sealant is cut away completely.
- The joint is degreased and checked for movement and leaks.
- Once dry, a suitable sealant is applied and tooled.
- You get the cure time and our view on why the joint failed.
How to prepare
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

About our remedial sealant in Belvedere
Removing failed sealant is the hardest part of the job. Every layer is cut out, the residue cleaned off and the joint degreased, taking care not to scratch the surfaces around it. Only then can new sealant bond. If you have repeat leaks from the same joint and products that weren’t meant for the joint, we can put it right.
Hard London water leaves limescale on sealant, grout and taps alike. For a bathroom or kitchen in Belvedere, getting the joints right keeps water where it belongs and the room looking clean.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee.

What happens if it’s left?
Leaks that are left keep doing damage out of sight: soaked floorboards, ceiling stains below and blown plaster. By comparison, sorting the joint is quick. In a flat in Belvedere, failed sealant seldom stays inside your own four walls: water from a shower or window joint can reach the flat below, and gaps in fire-stopping matter to everyone in the building.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.

How we quote for remedial sealant
Call for a quick quote. What matters most is:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Any working-time requirements on site
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The old material and how stubborn it is
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- The problem you’ve noticed
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add pictures by email if you can.
Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
- Don’t add new sealant on top of old
- Deal with small splits early
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
Clean gently: a mild cleaner and a soft cloth, with no blades or scourers.
Leaks through failed sealant grow over time. Each use pushes more water behind the bead, into floors, walls or ceilings. Early action keeps it to a sealant job.

Your questions about remedial sealant in Belvedere
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Belvedere station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners, and several properties can go on one quote. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
I live in a flat in Belvedere. Can a failed seal leak into the flat below?
It can, yes: water that gets past a split bead or cracked grout often runs under the tray and shows on the ceiling below. It’s far simpler to replace tired sealant early than to deal with a neighbour’s ceiling.
How long does the work take?
Longer than a simple reseal, because every layer has to come out. For most joints, it’s a few hours, and we confirm the time with your quote.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is usually more efficient.
Will it make a mess?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Do you come to Belvedere?
We do. Belvedere is part of the area we cover.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Most of the time, yes. We’ll explain which colours are available.
Common problems we fix in Belvedere
Joints that move need sealant that can stretch. Flexing baths, rocking trays and building movement joints split any bead that is too stiff or too thin.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
- A second bead peeling off the first
Homes close to Parish Church of All Saints include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
Questions to ask before booking
- How long the guarantee is
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Whether the sealant suits the joint

London has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and taps, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in. London has a lot of flats and conversions, and a failed shower or bath seal in one can show up on the ceiling below, so tired sealant is best dealt with early.

How the job changes by surface
Over-sealed & botched joints
A botched joint can hide two or three layers of sealant, including the smears and film on surrounding tiles. Only a clean joint will take a new bead.
Leaking trays & enclosures
Where the joints are the problem, every bead is stripped and resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone, tray edges and screen profiles included.
