Two decades of sealant work means we recognise most failures quickly. We are fully insured ARBOMaster approved applicators, and every remedial job comes with a 12-month guarantee.

Remedial sealant in Chorleywood: local notes
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Rented homes near Chorleywood station change hands often, and failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Christ Church Chorleywood CofE School, washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.

When to call us in Chorleywood
Water from somewhere else can ruin a good seal. A slow leak behind the tiles soaks the joint from the back, so the silicone goes mouldy or lets go.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
Homes close to Christ Church include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

What else we do in Chorleywood
How the visit works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van. Once we have agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. Parking around Chorleywood is normally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off.
- We treat any mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The right product goes in, with backing where the joint moves.
- The joint is tooled and you are told about anything else we found.
Getting ready for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Why act early in Chorleywood
Adding more sealant is the usual quick fix, and it rarely works. It can’t bond to what’s underneath, leaving the leak in place and one more layer to cut out later. In an older home around Chorleywood, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first.

How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Don’t point over movement joints
- Act on a lifting corner straight away
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
- Keep the room well ventilated
Keep the room ventilated: use the extractor or open a window after showering.
Movement joints that have split let water into the structure, and the longer it’s left, the more the joint edges break down. Resealing while the edges are sound is simpler.
FAQs for Chorleywood

Yes, Chorleywood is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Chorleywood?
Yes. Chorleywood is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers 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?

Are you fully insured?

How long does remedial resealing take?
Allow a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. You will know the timing when we quote.
Can you take off two layers of silicone?
Yes. Both layers come out; new silicone does not bond to old silicone, which is why over-sealing fails.
Can you match the sealant colour?
In most cases you can choose. We’ll explain which colours are available and agree one before work begins.
Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
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.
What affects the cost of remedial sealant
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Access and height
- When we can work, for business premises
- The product the joint needs
- The old material and how stubborn it is
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.
