About our remedial sealant in Bulphan
A movement joint stops working when its sealant splits or sets hard. We cut out the failed sealant and set the depth with backing, then a flexible sealant matched to the movement goes in. If you’re dealing with dark patches showing through the sealant and repeat leaks from the same joint, we can help.
London’s water is hard, so limescale builds up along sealant lines, in grout and on fittings. For a bathroom or kitchen in Bulphan, getting the joints right keeps water where it belongs and the room looking clean.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

How the visit works
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and clear up. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. In Bulphan, 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 protect the surfaces around the joint.
- The botched or failed sealant is cut away completely.
- We clean and degrease the joint and look for signs of movement or water.
- Once dry, a suitable sealant is applied and tooled.
- You get the cure time and our view on why the joint failed.
Getting ready for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Advice
Bulphan homes and their sealant
In a London flat, water from a failed bath or shower seal can reach the neighbours below, which is why it’s worth fixing early. London has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and taps.
Managing a site like Bulphan Church of England Academy? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. Rented homes near West Horndon station change hands often, and failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.

Questions from Bulphan
Could a tired shower seal in my Bulphan flat affect the neighbours below?
Yes, it can. Water that gets past failed sealant or cracked grout can run under the bath or tray and show up on the ceiling below. It’s far simpler to replace tired sealant early than to deal with a neighbour’s ceiling.
Is parking an issue for remedial sealant in Bulphan?
Parking in Bulphan, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
Where are you based?
We’re a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Do you come to Bulphan?
Yes, we do. Bulphan is part of the area we cover.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
What should I tell you?
A short description and the location, with photos by email if possible. We will ask anything else we need to know.
Can you remove sealant that’s been put over old sealant?
Yes. Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off, then the joint is resealed once.
Leave it or put it right?
Leaks that are left keep doing damage out of sight: soaked floorboards, ceiling stains below and blown plaster. Dealing with the joint now is a small job by comparison. Damp from a failed joint spreads quietly in older London brickwork and timber, and once it shows in Bulphan, the repair is bigger than a sealant job.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.

What the job involves on each surface
Leaking trays & enclosures
A cracked tray, failed valve or leaking waste needs a different fix. We say so rather than reseal.
Movement & expansion joints
Joints filled with mortar, grout or rigid filler can’t move. We rake that out where it can be removed and seal with a flexible product.
What sealant work can’t fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Plumbing leaks behind walls or under trays
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly.
Where we work in Bulphan

How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Check trays and worktops do not move
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
Keep the room ventilated: run the fan during and after showers, or open a window.
Movement joints that have split let water into the structure, and left long enough, the edges of the joint can crumble. A joint with sound edges is far easier to reseal.
DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
