Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Do not wait for a small gap to become a leak
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
Do not let anyone seal over it later. New silicone does not bond to old.
A split movement joint lets rain into walls and floors, and the longer it’s left, the more the joint edges break down. A joint with sound edges is far easier to reseal.
How the visit works
There’s no need to move everything out, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out in most cases. Somewhere like Claygate needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- The failure is looked at first, so we know whether it’s sealant, movement or water from elsewhere.
- Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off.
- We treat any mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- The joint is tooled and you are told about anything else we found.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Move anything stored near the joints

Why it’s worth doing now in Claygate
Leaks that are left keep doing damage out of sight: wet floors, stained ceilings and swollen worktops. Dealing with the joint now is a small job by comparison. Around Claygate, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first and send you a clear quote before any work starts.
Why Claygate clients choose us
- A 12-month guarantee on all work

Claygate questions
Is Claygate within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is Claygate in your area for remedial sealant?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Claygate is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.
Do I need to be at home?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
We help you choose a colour that suits, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The product needed can limit the range.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
Can I do it myself?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
What if resealing won’t fix my leak?
You will hear it from us. A cracked tray, faulty valve or leaking waste needs a different trade, so we won’t pretend it will.
When it is not the sealant
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A tray or bath that’s cracked
- Water damage behind tiles that needs a tiler
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Failed movement joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Expansion joints
DIY versus a professional finish
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Do you need remedial sealant in Claygate?
One of the commonest remedial jobs is sealant on top of sealant. Silicone does not bond to silicone, so the top layer lifts and water and mould collect between the two.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Beads that never stuck properly
- Black mould underneath the bead
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
In the older streets around Church of St Margaret, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
