About our remedial sealant in East End of London
Two decades of sealant work means we recognise most failures quickly. We’re fully insured ARBOMaster approved applicators, and remedial work carries our 12-month guarantee. We work on failed movement joints, shrunken worktop sealant and mouldy bath & shower sealant, and people most often call us about leaks that keep coming back after resealing and sealant peeling off a dusty or damp 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.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in East End of London and across Greater London.

How the job changes by surface
Movement & expansion joints
Some movement joints have been filled with mortar or grout. We rake that out where it can be removed and seal with a flexible product.
Worktops & kitchens
Kitchen joints hold grease and residue, so cleaning takes longer than in a bathroom before resealing.

What else we do in East End of London
Why deal with it now?
Remedial work takes longer than a straight reseal, but rarely a lot: the work 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 older London homes, water behind a failed joint soaks into brick and timber without much sign, and by the time it shows on a wall or ceiling in East End of London, the repair is bigger than the sealant job would have been.
Combining jobs into one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits. We will send you a clear quote for the lot.

East End of London questions
Is parking a problem for a job in East End of London?
Parking in East End of London, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot.
Could a tired shower seal in my East End of London flat affect the neighbours below?
Yes, and the first sign is often a stain on the ceiling below. A proper reseal before the leak starts is the easy fix.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. Several properties can go on one quote.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Is it messy?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
How much does remedial sealant cost in East End of London?
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 any work starts.
Can failed expansion joints be resealed?
Yes. The depth is set with backing so the sealant only bonds to the two sides.
Signs you need remedial sealant in East End of London
Silicone only bonds to surfaces that are clean and dry. Residue, moisture or dust left in the joint weaken the bond, so it starts lifting sooner than it should.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
- Black mould underneath the bead
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
What your quote should include
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- Whether you can choose the colour
- When the joint can take water or movement
How it works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you.

Advice
How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
- Never seal over old silicone
Keep the room ventilated: run the fan during and after showers, or open a window.
Warning signs: peeling layers, mould showing through the bead, leaks after showering or cracks in a movement joint. Any of them means it’s time for remedial work.
