Drayton homes and their sealant
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Schools such as Drayton Community Primary School 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. Homes close to Church of Saint Peter include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. For landlords with property near Appleford station, failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.

Drayton: your questions answered
Is Drayton within the area you cover?
Yes, Drayton is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you cover Drayton for remedial sealant?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Drayton is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Can failed expansion joints be resealed?
Yes. If a joint has been filled with mortar or rigid filler, we rake it out where possible, then the joint is sealed properly.
Can you match the sealant colour?
We will suggest a colour to suit the surroundings. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
What do you put in the joint?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
How do I get a quote for remedial sealant in Drayton?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing and where.
How long before the joint can be used?
Cure times vary by product. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
How it works
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we are doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. Parking around Drayton is usually easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- Surrounding tiles, trays and frames are protected first.
- The botched or failed sealant is cut away completely.
- We clean and degrease the joint and look for signs of movement or water.
- 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
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Mention any tricky access
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Leave it or put it right?
Stripping out botched sealant adds time to a reseal, but rarely a lot: it takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. Compared with chasing the same leak every few months, it’s time well spent. In a smaller place like Drayton, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before we start.

Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Act on a lifting corner right away
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
Ventilation keeps mould away from the new bead: run the fan during and after showers, or open a window.
Movement joints that have split let water into the structure, and the longer it’s left, the more the joint edges break down. A joint with sound edges is far easier to reseal.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we will give you a quote.
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.
What we can’t put right
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- A bath, tray or worktop that moves until it’s properly fixed
- A leaking trap, valve or supply pipe
- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
