Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Bowcombe
A joint that keeps failing generally has a reason. Movement, the wrong product or a leak from somewhere else will defeat even a perfect bead. Finding that cause comes before any new sealant. We are often asked to deal with torn expansion joints and thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles, across botched or over-sealed joints, mouldy bath & shower sealant and failed movement joints.
For a small place like Bowcombe, remedial sealant is planned like any other job: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. Once we are there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after we have gone.

Common problems we fix in Bowcombe
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.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Black mould underneath the bead
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
- Over-sealed joints coming away
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
Homes close to Church of St. Nicholas in Castro include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
What your quote should include
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Are they insured?

Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
- Deal with small splits early
- Do not point over movement joints
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
Ventilation keeps mould away from the new bead: use the extractor or open a window after showering.
If a joint has failed more than once, stop resealing it. Get the cause found first, or the next bead will go the same way.
What we do, step by step
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, protect the area around them, do the work and clear up. It usually takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. Somewhere as small as Bowcombe, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We protect the surfaces around the joint.
- The botched or failed sealant is cut away completely.
- The joint is degreased and checked for movement and leaks.
- 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 about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

DIY versus a professional finish

Bowcombe: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Bowcombe?
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 take on hotel work around Bowcombe?
Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
Someone sealed over the old bead. Can you fix it?
Yes. Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off, before resealing with a single bead.
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
How long will it take to strip and reseal the joint?
That depends on how many layers there are and how many joints. We’ll tell you before any work starts.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
How long should I leave it?
Cure times vary by product and the temperature. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.
What sealant work can’t fix
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
- Movement from fittings that are not supported
- Plumbing leaks behind walls or under trays
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
