Remedial sealant in Biggin
The wrong product in the wrong joint fails however neatly it’s applied. Out it comes, and in goes a sealant suited to the job. We work on leaking tray & enclosure joints, failed movement joints and mouldy bath & shower sealant, and the jobs we see most are decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower and wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones.
Homes around Biggin are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Biggin
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements.
How we quote for remedial sealant
Call for a quick quote. The main things that affect it are:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Any mould that needs treating
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Which sealant suits the joint
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
Asking for a quote
To make quoting easier, please include:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- The rough size of the job
For a quote, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the location and a short description of the problem. We will give you a clear price before any work starts.
Common questions in Biggin
Will you come out to Biggin?
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 landlords with property near Tilbury Town station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
How long will it take to strip and reseal the joint?
It takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. We will give you a timescale when we quote.
Do you guarantee remedial jobs?
Yes, with our 12-month guarantee. If we’ve pointed out another problem, getting it fixed helps the new joint last.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
When is the sealant fully cured?
It depends on the product. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
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.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Biggin
Biggin is close to the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
In the older streets around Church of St Mary, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. Schools such as Tilbury Pioneer Academy are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

How the visit works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out, including the tidy-up. For a village or hamlet like Biggin, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We protect the surfaces around the joint.
- The botched or failed sealant is cut away completely.
- We clean and degrease the joint and look for signs of movement or water.
- New sealant goes in once the joint is dry, and is tooled smooth.
- We give you the cure time and explain what caused the failure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

When something else is needed
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
- Cracks in the fitting rather than the joint
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
Where we work in Biggin
- Expansion joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Failed movement joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints
Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Check trays and worktops don’t move
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
- Deal with small splits early
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
Ventilation keeps mould away from the new bead: run the fan during and after showers, or open a window.
A failing joint rarely gets better on its own. Each use pushes more water behind the bead, into floors, walls or ceilings. Early action keeps it to a sealant job.
Leave it or put it right?
Hidden water does the most damage: soaked floorboards, ceiling stains below and blown plaster. Dealing with the joint now is a small job by comparison. Older cottages and farmhouses around Biggin can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Do you need remedial sealant in Biggin?
A lot of failed joints have been sealed over rather than replaced. New silicone can’t stick to the old bead, so the new layer peels, and damp and mould settle between them.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
For landlords with property near Tilbury Town station, a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.
