What remedial sealant looks like in Criddlestyle
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.
Homes close to St Giles include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
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.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Criddlestyle
We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for.
We also work for property managers and facilities teams. We can quote a run of properties together, and we’re fully insured for the work.
How we quote for remedial sealant
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- The product the joint needs
- How many areas need sealing
- The size of the job
- Access and height
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What to tell us for a quote
You don’t need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Where the property is
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- Roughly how big the job is
Need a quote? Please phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the job. We will explain what we’d do and give you a clear price before we start.
What we can’t put right
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Cracks in the fitting rather than the joint
- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
- Plumbing leaks behind walls or under trays
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
Where we work in Criddlestyle

FAQs for Criddlestyle
Do you cover Criddlestyle for remedial sealant?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Criddlestyle is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
What guarantee comes with remedial sealant in Criddlestyle?
All our work, in Criddlestyle and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do I need to be at home?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
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.
How long will it take to strip and reseal the joint?
A little longer than a standard reseal. For most joints, it’s a few hours, and we confirm the time with your quote.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes. Domestic, commercial and hotel work are all part of what we do, and we’re fully insured.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
What should I tell you?
A short description and the location, plus photos if you have them. If we need more, we will ask.
How the visit works
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. In a small place like Criddlestyle, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- The failure is looked at first, so we know whether it’s sealant, movement or water from elsewhere.
- Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.
- Mould is treated and the joint dried.
- 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
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the work
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
Getting a quote
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email photos if that’s easy.
Related advice
What we’re called out for in Criddlestyle
Some joints fail because water is reaching them from behind. A leaking valve, a failed waste or cracked grout feeds water behind the bead, and the sealant lifts or goes mouldy from underneath.
Look out for any of the following:
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
Schools such as The Burgate School and Sixth Form are buildings too, and washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.
Questions to ask before booking
- Are they insured?
- What product goes in the joint
- How the colour is chosen
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
- Don’t point over movement joints
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
Watch the joint over the first few weeks, especially if movement was the problem. Should anything change, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Mould trapped under over-sealed joints spreads unseen. By the time it shows through, the joint is well past saving.
