Common questions in Cripp's Corner
Will you come out to Cripp's Corner?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Robertsbridge station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Will it make a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
How much does remedial sealant cost in Cripp's Corner?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote and we will talk you through it.
Do you guarantee remedial jobs?
Yes. Remedial work carries the same 12-month guarantee as all our work.
What if resealing won’t fix my leak?
We check for that before we reseal. If we find the leak is elsewhere, we tell you before going further.
Can you reseal a split movement joint?
Yes. If a joint has been filled with mortar or rigid filler, we rake it out where possible, then the joint is sealed properly.
Which products do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.

Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
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.

What sealant work can’t fix
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- A leaking trap, valve or supply pipe
- Movement from fittings that aren’t supported
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Failed movement joints
- Expansion joints
How the job changes by surface
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Black mould inside the bead will not 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 point out any existing damage.
Remedial sealant around Cripp's Corner
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you look after a building such as Staplecross Methodist Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. If you live in an older home near St Marks Staplecross, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

The process
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. For a village or hamlet like Cripp's Corner, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We look at how the sealant has failed and check for movement or a leak path.
- We strip the joint completely, removing any layers below.
- We clean the joint, treat any mould and let it dry.
- We use the right backing and sealant for any joint that moves.
- Finally we finish the joint and talk you through what we found.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Mention any tricky access
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Advice
Do you need remedial sealant in Cripp's Corner?
Products get mixed up: caulk where it gets wet, rigid sealant where things move, or an acetoxy silicone on a surface it can mark. Each fails in its own way.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
- A second bead peeling off the first
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
Rented homes near Robertsbridge station change hands often, and a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.
What to look for in a quote
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Are they insured?
- Whether VAT is included
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Act on a lifting corner right away
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
- Check ceilings under showers for marks
- Find out why the sealant failed first
Go easy on the new sealant: no scraping, scouring pads or harsh chemicals.
A split movement joint lets rain into walls and floors, and left long enough, the edges of the joint can crumble. A joint with sound edges is far easier to reseal.
