Remedial sealant in Brick End
Removing failed sealant is the hardest part of the job. We cut out every layer, clear the residue and degrease the surfaces, without scratching tiles, trays or frames. New sealant only bonds to a clean, dry joint. If you are dealing with decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower and a shower that leaks however often it’s resealed, we can help, on expansion joints, failed movement joints and mouldy bath & shower sealant alike.
Somewhere as small as Brick End, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary the Virgin, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

Why deal with it now?
DIY removal often leaves scratches and a film of residue, and the residue left behind stops the next bead bonding. Careful removal is most of a remedial job. Older cottages and farmhouses around Brick End can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Combining jobs into one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted

Different surfaces, different methods
Movement & expansion joints
Some movement joints have been filled with mortar or grout. Where it can be raked out, we replace it with flexible sealant.
Over-sealed & botched joints
A thick bead smeared across tiles often hides mould or gaps. Taking it back shows what’s underneath, and then we reseal it neatly.
