If you are dealing with mould trapped under a layer of silicone and worktop sealant that has shrunk and split, we can help, whatever the surface.

What remedial sealant looks like in Charing Cross
London has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and taps. Charing Cross has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room.
Homes close to St Martin-in-the-Fields include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. Managing a site like Soho Parish CofE Primary School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
Charing Cross is about 1 mile south-east of City of Westminster, in Greater London. Wherever you are in the W1F postcode area, our applicators can take on remedial sealant. We cover 764 towns and villages across Greater London.

How we quote for remedial sealant
We do not publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- The product the joint needs
- The number and length of the joints
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.
What to tell us for a quote
To help us quote quickly, let us know:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Where the property is
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Whether it has been sealed before
There’s no standard price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, we give you a clear quote for your job. To arrange one, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Surface by surface
Worktops & kitchens
Kitchen joints hold grease and residue, so we spend extra time cleaning.
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Mould that has grown into silicone does not clean out for good. All of it comes out, and the joint is treated and dried ahead of a new anti-fungal bead.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
- Never seal over old silicone
- Don’t wait for a small gap to become a leak
- 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. Have someone find out why, otherwise the next attempt will fail too.
Signs you need remedial sealant in Charing Cross
Sealant needs a clean, dry surface with no grease on it. Soap film, dust, damp or old residue stop it gripping, so it starts lifting sooner than it should.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
- Beads that never stuck properly
- A second bead peeling off the first
If you let a flat or house near London Charing Cross station, botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.
Before booking anyone
- When the joint can take water or movement
- How hidden problems are handled
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Which colour the sealant will be
What we do, step by step
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out, and the area is left clean. In Charing Cross, 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.
- We clean the joint, treat any mould and let it dry.
- Moving joints get backing and a flexible sealant to suit.
- The new joint is tooled neatly and we explain anything else we found.
Preparing for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
