How we handle remedial sealant in Cock Street
A joint that keeps letting you down needs more than another bead. Send photos when you ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email, along with when it was last resealed. If you have beads that never stuck properly and leaks that keep coming back after resealing, we can help, on shrunken worktop sealant, mouldy bath & shower sealant and leaking tray & enclosure joints alike.
For a small place like Cock Street, remedial sealant is planned like any other job: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.

The process
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building before we come, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out in most cases. Somewhere as small as Cock Street, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We protect the surfaces around the joint.
- Every layer of failed sealant is stripped out.
- The joint is degreased and checked for movement and leaks.
- Once dry, a suitable sealant is applied and tooled.
- You get the cure time and our view on why the joint failed.
Before we arrive
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Move anything stored near the joints

Cock Street homes and their sealant
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.
For an older house near a landmark such as St Matthew's Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. If you let a flat or house near Bures station, a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.

Why act early in Cock Street
Spraying mould remover on a sealed-over joint doesn’t reach what’s underneath. Removal is the only way to get at it, and the joint treated and dried before resealing. In a small place like Cock Street, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
We do not show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Should I try it myself first?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. 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.
What affects the cost of remedial sealant
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The size of the 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. Ask us for a quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- The type of property
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- The rough size of the job
- Whether it has been sealed before
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we’ll talk you through what we’d do. When it suits you, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

FAQs for Cock Street
Is Cock Street in your area for remedial sealant?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Cock Street is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Cock Street?
Yes, Cock Street is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before resealing.
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.
Can failed expansion joints be resealed?
Yes. Where mortar or filler has been used instead of sealant, it’s removed where it can be, then the joint is sealed properly.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We will tell you how long to leave the joint.
Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
- Check ceilings under showers for marks
- Deal with small splits early
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
Give the new sealant its full cure time: follow the cure time we give you.
Do not keep resealing the same joint. Have someone find out why, otherwise the next attempt will fail too.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Cock Street
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we’ll give you a quote.
When something else is needed
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- Plumbing leaks behind walls or under trays
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacing)
- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.
