Remedial sealant in Farthing Green
Water on the floor does not always mean failed silicone. Cracked trays, leaking wastes and faulty valves often look like a sealant problem. When the fault is elsewhere, we say so instead of resealing for the sake of it. We work on botched or over-sealed joints, expansion joints and failed movement joints, and common reasons people get in touch are kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop and torn expansion joints.
Homes around Farthing Green are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Quotes for remedial sealant in Farthing Green
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- The size of the job
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Mould in or behind the old joints
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- The address or postcode of the job
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email photos if that is easy.
When it is not the sealant
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
- A tray or bath that’s cracked
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Common questions in Farthing Green
Is Farthing Green in your area for remedial sealant?

Will you come out to Farthing Green?

Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme.
What if the leak is not the sealant?

What information do you need?
A short description and the location, plus photos if you have them. If we need more, we’ll ask.

Most of the time, yes. We will tell you which colours the right product comes in.

What happens on the day
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The job generally takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out from start to finish. Somewhere as small as Farthing Green, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We protect the surfaces around the joint.
- The botched or failed sealant is cut away completely.
- We clean and degrease the joint and look for signs of movement or water.
- Once dry, a suitable sealant is applied and tooled.
- You get the cure time and our view on why the joint failed.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
- Do not point over movement joints
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
Keep an eye on the joint at first, especially if movement was the problem. If anything changes, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Do not keep resealing the same joint. Get the cause found first, or the next bead will go the same way.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we will give you a quote.
We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
Can I do it myself?
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.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
What we are called out for in Farthing Green
Silicone only bonds to surfaces that are clean and dry. Residue, moisture or dust left in the joint weaken the bond, and the joint starts to come away early.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
- Torn expansion joints
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
In and around Farthing Green, as anywhere, good remedial sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Questions to ask before booking
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Is VAT in the price?
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
