Remedial sealant in Farthing Street
Not every leak is a sealant leak. 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. If you’re dealing with mould trapped under a layer of silicone and floor or wall movement joints that have failed, we can put it right.
London homes include a lot of flats, conversions and mansion blocks, so a bathroom is often directly above a neighbour’s ceiling. In Farthing Street, that’s a good reason to put tired sealant and grout right early.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

Farthing Street homes and their sealant
London’s water is hard, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in. London has a lot of flats and conversions, and a failed shower or bath seal in one can show up on the ceiling below, so tired sealant is best dealt with early.
For landlords with property near Orpington station, a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty. If you live in an older home near St Mary's Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Clean sealant with mild products only
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
Watch the joint over the first few weeks, especially if movement was the problem. Should anything change, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
A split movement joint lets rain into walls and floors, and the longer it’s left, the more the joint edges break down. Resealing while the edges are sound is simpler.

Surface by surface
Over-sealed & botched joints
Previous removal attempts can leave scratches or gouges. We take care not to make it worse, and tell you about any damage we find.
Leaking trays & enclosures
Repeat shower leaks often come from a tray that flexes or an enclosure sealed in the wrong place. We check both before any new sealant goes on.
How the visit works
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. In Farthing Street, as in most of London, parking needs a little planning. It helps if you can point us to a visitor permit or a bay close to the door.
- We protect the surfaces around the joint.
- The botched or failed sealant is cut away completely.
- The joint is degreased and checked for movement and leaks.
- Once dry, a suitable sealant is applied and tooled.
- We give you the cure time and explain what caused the failure.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
How to get a quote

Common questions in Farthing Street
I live in a flat in Farthing Street. Can a failed seal leak into the flat below?
It can, yes: water that gets past a split bead or cracked grout often runs under the tray and shows on the ceiling below. Replacing the sealant and grout before that happens is much less trouble than repairing a neighbour’s ceiling.
Is parking an issue for remedial sealant in Farthing Street?
In much of London, parking needs planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes. As well as homeowners, we work for landlords, agents, businesses and hotels across Greater London.
How long before the joint can be used?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We’ll tell you how long to leave the joint.
What information do you need?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few pictures.
Do you come to Farthing Street?
Yes. We work in Farthing Street. To book, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme.
Someone resealed my shower and it’s leaking again. Can you help?
Yes. All the sealant comes out, we find out why it failed, and the joint is resealed properly.
When to call us in Farthing Street
Products get mixed up: acrylic caulk in a wet area, a general-purpose sealant on a moving joint, or an acetoxy silicone on natural stone or some metals. None of them last.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Beads that never stuck properly
- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
- A second bead peeling off the first
Farthing Street is in London, so parking needs planning: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.

Why act early in Farthing Street
Repeat failures have a cause. Taking time to find the cause, whether it’s movement, a leak or the wrong product, is what stops it happening again. Damp from a failed joint spreads quietly in older London brickwork and timber, and by the time it shows on a wall or ceiling in Farthing Street, the repair is bigger than the sealant job would have been.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Why book with us
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
- A choice of colours where the product allows
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
