Broadford questions
I let a flat near Shalford station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Is Broadford within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Someone resealed my shower and it’s leaking again. Can you help?
Yes, normally. First we check whether the leak is the sealant at all, then the joints are stripped and resealed.
How long does remedial resealing take?
Allow a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. You’ll know the timing when we quote.
Should I try DIY first?
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.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours, and we will agree it with you first.
How long before the joint can be used?
That depends on the sealant used, so please follow the time we give you when we finish.
Remedial sealant in Broadford
Two decades of sealant work means we recognise most failures quickly. We’re ARBOMaster approved and fully insured, and every remedial job comes with a 12-month guarantee. Common call-outs are for over-sealed joints coming away and caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area, across mouldy bath & shower sealant, shrunken worktop sealant and leaking tray & enclosure joints.
In a village or hamlet like Broadford, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Don’t wait for a small gap to become a leak
- Clean sealant with mild products only
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
- Run the fan after every shower
Ventilation keeps mould away from the new bead: run the fan during and after showers, or open a window.
If a joint has failed more than once, stop resealing it. Have someone find out why, or the next bead will go the same way.
The process
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can get on with your day. The job normally takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. Somewhere as small as Broadford, 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.
- Every layer of failed sealant is stripped out.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Common problems we fix in Broadford
Silicone only bonds to surfaces that are clean and dry. Residue, moisture or dust left in the joint weaken the bond, so it starts lifting sooner than it should.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Torn expansion joints
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
- A second bead peeling off the first
- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Shalford Infant School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

What affects the cost of remedial sealant
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Any mould that needs treating
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The size of the job
- Which sealant suits the joint
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Whether it’s a home or a business
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we will talk you through what we’d do. Whenever you’re ready, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Remedial sealant around Broadford
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
For landlords with property near Shalford station, failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak. For an older house near a landmark such as St Michael, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

When it is not the sealant
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Failed tanking or loose tiles behind the sealant

- Movement from fittings that are not supported
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we seal

Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Why act early in Broadford
It’s easy to scratch acrylic, enamel or an uPVC frame cutting out old sealant, and the residue left behind stops the next bead bonding. Careful removal is most of a remedial job. Around Broadford, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
