The process
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, protect the area around them, carry out the job and tidy away. It usually takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. Many London jobs are in flats, so we come ready for stairs, narrow hallways and shared entrances. Mention any building rules, key holders or managing agents when you book.
- 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.
- We give you the cure time and explain what caused the failure.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Mention any tricky access
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Advice
Remedial sealant in Creekmouth, done properly
Decorators’ caulk in a shower, bathroom silicone on a window, a rigid filler in a movement joint fails however neatly it’s applied. We take it out and use a sealant made for that joint. If you are dealing with sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared and products that weren’t meant for the joint, we can help, whatever the surface.
Much of London’s older housing is Victorian and Edwardian terraces, many of them now split into flats, with bathrooms fitted into whatever space was available. Small, steamy rooms are where mould gets into sealant and grout fastest.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

Why deal with it now?
Ripping out a bathroom isn’t generally needed. When the fittings are sound, stripping and resealing the joints is often enough. If they’re not, we’ll tell you. In a London flat, a failed joint rarely stays your problem alone: water from a shower or window joint can reach the flat below, and gaps in fire-stopping matter to everyone in the building.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.

Creekmouth homes and their sealant
In a London flat, water from a failed bath or shower seal can reach the neighbours below, which is why it’s worth fixing early. London has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Creekmouth is in London, so parking needs planning: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. In the older streets around Christ Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. Schools such as George Carey Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Different surfaces, different methods
Leaking trays & enclosures
A cracked tray, failed valve or leaking waste needs a different fix. We’ll tell you what we find.
Over-sealed & botched joints
Botched joints sometimes have damaged edges from earlier scraping. We take care not to make it worse, and tell you about any damage we find.
How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Clean sealant with mild products only
- Check trays and worktops do not move
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
Do not let anyone seal over it later. Over-sealing is how many remedial jobs start, so the old bead should always come out first.
Warning signs: peeling layers, mould showing through the bead, leaks after showering or cracks in a movement joint. Each one is worth getting looked at.
Creekmouth: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords with property near Barking Riverside station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners, and several properties can go on one quote. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Can worn sealant in a flat in Creekmouth cause a leak downstairs?
Yes. In a flat, water from a failed bath or shower seal has only one way to go, and that is down. Cutting out the old sealant and laying a new bead early stops it getting that far.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured for every job we do.
Someone sealed over the old bead. Can you fix it?
Yes. Both layers come out; over-sealing fails because silicone will not bond to silicone.
Do you fix expansion and movement joints?
Yes. If a joint has been filled with mortar or rigid filler, we rake it out where possible, then the joint is sealed properly.
How do I get a quote for remedial sealant in Creekmouth?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You will get a clear quote before we start.
Do you cover Creekmouth?
Yes. From our base in Crawley, we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland, and that includes Creekmouth.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
When something else is needed
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Older mastics that may need an asbestos check before removal
- A bath, tray or worktop that moves until it’s properly fixed
- Failed tanking or loose tiles behind the sealant
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.
