How we handle remedial sealant in Congelow
Getting old sealant out properly is slow, careful work. Every layer is cut out, the residue cleaned off and the joint degreased, taking care not to scratch the surfaces around it. Only then can new sealant bond. Common call-outs are for torn expansion joints and a second bead peeling off the first, across leaking tray & enclosure joints, shrunken worktop sealant and mouldy bath & shower sealant.
Being in a small place like Congelow makes no difference to the job itself: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. Once we are there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

What we cannot put right
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- Failed tanking or loose tiles behind the sealant
- Movement from fittings that aren’t supported
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Other services in Congelow
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Clean sealant with mild products only
- Check ceilings under showers for marks
- Deal with small splits early
- Never seal over old silicone
Watch the joint over the first few weeks, particularly where the original failure was caused by movement. Should anything change, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Mould under a second layer of sealant keeps growing out of sight. By the time it shows through, the joint is well past saving.
How the visit works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The job generally takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. Somewhere as small as Congelow, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Surrounding tiles, trays and frames are protected first.
- Every layer of failed sealant is stripped out.
- The joint is degreased and checked for movement and leaks.
- New sealant goes in once the joint is dry, and is tooled smooth.
- You get the cure time and our view on why the joint failed.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Bathrooms and kitchens in Congelow
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
If you live in an older home near St Peter's and St Paul's Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

Surface by surface
Leaking trays & enclosures
Repeat shower leaks often come from a tray that flexes or an enclosure sealed in the wrong place. Both are checked before any new sealant goes on.
Movement & expansion joints
Some movement joints have been filled with mortar or grout. Where it can be raked out, we replace it with flexible sealant.
Do you need remedial sealant in Congelow?
Joints that move need sealant that can stretch. A bath that flexes, a tray that rocks or a building joint that opens and closes split any bead that’s too stiff or too thin.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
- Over-sealed joints coming away
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
If you let a flat or house near Yalding station, failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.
Questions to ask before booking
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- How hidden problems are handled
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- What product goes in the joint
What happens if it’s left?
Adding more sealant is the usual quick fix, and it rarely works. It cannot bond to what’s underneath, leaving the leak in place and one more layer to cut out later. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Congelow, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
