Remedial sealant in Broom Hill
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 failed movement joints, mouldy bath & shower sealant and botched or over-sealed joints, and the jobs we see most are dark patches showing through the sealant and a shower that leaks however often it’s resealed.
Much of London’s older housing is Victorian and Edwardian terraces, many of them now split into flats, and bathrooms were often squeezed into small rooms. Small, steamy rooms are where mould gets into sealant and grout fastest.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can be quoted together.

Broom Hill: your questions answered
Is parking a problem for a job in Broom Hill?
It can be, so it helps to tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. That way the visit can be planned around it.
I live in a flat in Broom Hill. Can a failed seal leak into the flat below?
Yes. In a flat, water from a failed bath or shower seal has only one way to go, and that’s down. Cutting out the old sealant and laying a new bead early stops it getting that far.
Do you cover Broom Hill?
Yes, we do. Broom Hill is part of the area we cover.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, regularly. We can quote for several properties at once, and between tenancies is a good time for the work.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we have been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us.
Do you fix expansion and movement joints?
Yes. The depth is set with backing so the sealant only bonds to the two sides.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Surface by surface
Leaking trays & enclosures
Repeat shower leaks often come from a tray that flexes or an enclosure sealed in the wrong place. Both are checked before any new sealant goes on.
Worktops & kitchens
Old kitchen sealant pulls back from the wall over time. It’s cut out, degreased and resealed.
DIY versus a professional finish
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Common problems we fix in Broom Hill
Sealant needs a clean, dry surface with no grease on it. Residue, moisture or dust left in the joint weaken the bond, and the joint starts to come away early.
The problems people generally mention when they call are:
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- Black mould underneath the bead
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
For landlords with property near Orpington station, botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.
What your quote should include
- What insurance they hold
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- When the joint can take water or movement
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Don’t add new sealant on top of old
- Check ceilings under showers for marks
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
If we have found a cause, such as a loose tray or a leaking waste, get it fixed, because the new sealant cannot hold back a problem underneath.
Mould trapped under over-sealed joints spreads unseen. When it finally shows, the whole bead needs to come out.

What we do, step by step
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work starts. The work usually takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. In Broom Hill, as in most of London, parking needs a little planning. It helps if you can point us to a visitor permit or a bay close to the door.
- We start by checking the joint for movement, leaks and the reason it failed.
- All the old sealant comes out, including any layers underneath.
- Next, any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- Where the joint moves, backing and a flexible sealant suited to the movement go in.
- Finally we finish the joint and talk you through what we found.
How to prepare
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
