Remedial Sealant in Bevendean
Professional remedial sealant in and around Bevendean, with every bit of old sealant taken out first.
- Torn expansion joints
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
- Over-sealed joints coming away
Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Bevendean
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. We work on expansion joints, botched or over-sealed joints and leaking tray & enclosure joints, and common reasons people get in touch are repeat leaks from the same joint and kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop.
Homes around Bevendean range from older cottages to more recent houses. Older homes can move a little with the seasons, which is hard on tired sealant and rigid grout.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Bevendean as everywhere else we work.

FAQs for Bevendean
Do you cover smaller places like Bevendean?
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.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Moulsecoomb station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Does someone need to be in?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
How long does remedial resealing take?
Allow a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. You’ll know the timing when we quote.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we’re fully insured too.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, we can. More than one area can be quoted together.
How much does remedial sealant cost in Bevendean?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote and we’ll talk you through it.
How the job changes by surface
Leaking trays & enclosures
Repeat shower leaks often come from a tray that flexes or an enclosure sealed in the wrong place. Both are checked before any new sealant goes on.
Worktops & kitchens
Shrunken worktop sealant leaves a gap that lets water into the back edge. We strip it, degrease the joint and reseal in a colour to suit.
Why it’s worth doing now in Bevendean
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. Homes in smaller places like Bevendean can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.
What you get with us
- A 12-month guarantee on all work
- A choice of colours where the product allows
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- Old sealant always removed completely

What we do, step by step
Once we’re on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. Parking around Bevendean is usually easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- We look at how the sealant has failed and check for movement or a leak path.
- We strip the joint completely, removing any layers below.
- We clean the joint, treat any mould and let it dry.
- Where the joint moves, backing and a flexible sealant suited to the movement go in.
- The new joint is tooled neatly and we explain anything else we found.
How to prepare
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Run the fan after every shower
- Never seal over old silicone
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
- Find out why the sealant failed first
If the joint ever needs renewing, have it cut out, not sealed over. Over-sealing is how many remedial jobs start, so the old bead should always come out first.
If a joint has failed more than once, stop resealing it. Have someone find out why, otherwise the next attempt will fail too.

When to call us in Bevendean
Sealant needs a clean, dry surface with no grease on it. Soap film, dust, damp or old residue stop it gripping, and the joint starts to come away early.
The most common problems we see are:
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
- Beads that never stuck properly
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
If you live in an older home near Holy Nativity Community Project, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
