Surface by surface
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Black mould inside the bead won’t scrub out. The sealant is cut out completely, the joint treated with a mould remover and dried before anti-fungal sanitary silicone goes in.
Over-sealed & botched joints
Previous removal attempts can leave scratches or gouges. We take care not to make it worse, and tell you about any damage we find.
About our remedial sealant in Cliftonville
Not every leak is a sealant leak. Cracked trays, leaking wastes and faulty valves often look like a sealant problem. When the fault is elsewhere, we say so instead of resealing for the sake of it. We work on leaking tray & enclosure joints, failed movement joints and shrunken worktop sealant, and common reasons people get in touch are over-sealed joints coming away and a shower that leaks however often it’s resealed.
Around Cliftonville, you will mostly find houses and bungalows, some older and some much newer. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do in a big town.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
- Check ceilings under showers for marks
- Keep the room well ventilated
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
Give the new sealant its full cure time: follow the cure time we give you.
Signs to act on: sealant lifting at the ends, a second bead visible on top of the first, black mould under the silicone, or stains below a bathroom. Any of them means it’s time for remedial work.
Cliftonville questions
Do you cover smaller places like Cliftonville?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you take on hotel work around Cliftonville?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours, and we agree the colour with you before any work starts.
How much does remedial sealant cost in Cliftonville?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a short description of the job.
Can tenants book the work?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure your landlord agrees.
Is remedial work guaranteed?
Yes, for 12 months. Where we have flagged another fault, it needs fixing for the joint to last.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Why it’s worth doing now in Cliftonville
Spraying mould remover on a sealed-over joint does not reach what’s underneath. The layers have to come out, and the joint treated and dried before resealing. Around Cliftonville, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
Why us?
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- Fully insured
- A choice of colours where the product allows
- We agree the colour with you first

Remedial sealant in Cliftonville: local notes
Cliftonville is within about 1 mile of the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Letting a property close to Margate station? Then a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty. If you live in an older home near Church of St Paul, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. Schools such as Cliftonville Primary School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
Cliftonville is about 1 mile north-east of Margate, in Kent. Across the CT9 area, our applicators can take on remedial sealant. Our area takes in 922 places across Kent. There’s also a page for Chelmsford, about 46 miles away.
We cover every part of CT9 for remedial sealant and the streets around it. That includes homes and businesses on Gap Road, Sweyn Road and Holly Lane and the roads around them. We also cover Palm Bay (1 mile north-east), Northdown (1 mile east), Kingsgate (2 miles east), St Peter's (2 miles south) and Broadstairs (2 miles south-east). Within a short drive, we also cover Ramsgate (3 miles south), Deal (12 miles south), Herne Bay (12 miles west), Walmer (13 miles south), St Lawrence (4 miles south) and Newington (3 miles south).
Near you in Cliftonville
We work in homes and buildings around Hartsdown Academy and Clifton Arms Public House and the streets around them. The closest station to Cliftonville is Margate station, roughly 1.4 miles west of the centre. A little further out are Public Library & Museum (Camborne) (0.7 miles west) and Westwood Cross (2.1 miles south).
Can I do it myself?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
What happens on the day
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we are treating. The job generally takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. Parking around Cliftonville is normally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- A bath, tray or worktop that moves until it’s properly fixed
- Failed tanking or loose tiles behind the sealant
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
Joints and surfaces we work on
