How we handle remedial sealant in Dawesgreen
Two decades of sealant work means we recognise most failures quickly. We’re ARBOMaster approved and fully insured, and remedial work carries our 12-month guarantee. Typical jobs include repeat leaks from the same joint and kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop, across leaking tray & enclosure joints, expansion joints and mouldy bath & shower sealant.
In a village or hamlet like Dawesgreen, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.

What we are called out for in Dawesgreen
Joint depth matters. A bead bonded on three sides, or laid too thick, cannot flex, so it tears when the joint moves. Backing sets the depth and stops that.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Beads that never stuck properly
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
- A second bead peeling off the first
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Bartholomew, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

Dawesgreen: your questions answered
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Betchworth station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Is Dawesgreen within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you take off two layers of silicone?
Yes. We cut out all the layers and clean off the film, then the joint is resealed once.
Is it messy?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Different products cure at different speeds, so please follow the time we give you when we finish.
Does remedial work come with a guarantee?
Yes. Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee.
What happens if the problem is the tray or the plumbing?
We check for that before we reseal. If the fault is elsewhere, you will know before any work is done.
What happens on the day
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out, and the area is left clean. In a small place like Dawesgreen, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We look at how the sealant has failed and check for movement or a leak path.
- All the old sealant comes out, including any layers underneath.
- The joint is cleaned, treated for mould and left to dry.
- Where the joint moves, backing and a flexible sealant suited to the movement go in.
- We tool the joint and tell you about anything else that needs attention.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Surface by surface
Movement & expansion joints
Movement joints in floors, walls and façades need a flexible sealant set to the right depth. We remove the failed sealant, fit backing and reseal with a low-modulus product.
Leaking trays & enclosures
Where the joints are the problem, every bead is stripped and resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone, tray edges and screen profiles included.
How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
Where we’ve pointed out another fault, have it put right, or the new joint may fail again.
Mould under a second layer of sealant keeps growing out of sight. When it finally shows, the whole bead needs to come out.
Remedial sealant in Dawesgreen: local notes
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
For landlords with property near Betchworth station, botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants. If you look after a building such as Burys Court School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
