Why act early in Birchett's Green
Leaks that are left keep doing damage out of sight: wet floors, stained ceilings and swollen worktops. Dealing with the joint now is a small job by comparison. Around Birchett's Green, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Combining jobs into one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We will send you a clear quote for the lot.

Remedial sealant in Birchett's Green
Removing failed sealant is the hardest part of the job. 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. We work on botched or over-sealed joints, leaking tray & enclosure joints and shrunken worktop sealant, and the jobs we see most are thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles and kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop.
Being in a small place like Birchett's Green makes no difference to the job itself: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Deal with small splits early
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
- Check trays and worktops don’t move
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
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.
Movement joints that have split let water into the structure, and the longer it’s left, the more the joint edges break down. A joint with sound edges is far easier to reseal.
Questions from Birchett's Green
Is Birchett's Green within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
I let a flat near Stonegate station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
What do you need from me for a quote?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
How long before the joint can be used?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We’ll tell you how long to leave the joint.
Can I do it myself?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
What sealant do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We have worked for hotels, offices and other businesses and we are fully insured.
Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.

When it is not the sealant
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- Older mastics that may need an asbestos check before removal
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A bath, tray or worktop that moves until it’s properly fixed
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Expansion joints
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Failed movement joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Bathrooms and kitchens in Birchett's Green
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Uplands Community College, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. For an older house near a landmark such as Shover's Green Baptist Chapel, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. Rented homes near Stonegate station change hands often, and botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.

What affects the cost of remedial sealant
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The size of the job
- Which sealant suits the joint
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.
Asking for a quote
You don’t need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- The address or postcode of the job
- If someone has resealed it before
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we’ll talk you through what we’d do. Whenever you’re ready, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
How it works
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out and we leave things clean and tidy. Somewhere as small as Birchett's Green, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.
- We treat any mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
Before we arrive
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Tell us about any water getting in
