FAQs for Faygate
Can you do remedial sealant in Faygate?
Yes, Faygate is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we will send you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Faygate?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can failed expansion joints be resealed?
Yes. The depth is set with backing so the sealant only bonds to the two sides, which lets it stretch.
Can you strip sealant from an acrylic tray safely?
Yes. We take our time over removal, especially on acrylic, enamel and uPVC.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.
Can you take off two layers of silicone?
Yes. Both layers come out; over-sealing fails because silicone will not bond to silicone.
Is it worth trying it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.

How the job changes by surface
Over-sealed & botched joints
Botched joints sometimes have damaged edges from earlier scraping. We take care not to make it worse, and tell you about any damage we find.
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Mould can sit behind the silicone, not just in it. We treat the exposed joint once the bead is out.
Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Find out why the sealant failed first
- Don’t add new sealant on top of old
- Act on a lifting corner right away
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
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. Each one is worth getting looked at.
Remedial sealant around Faygate
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Homes close to St Francis' Church include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. Managing a site like Holy Trinity CofE Secondary School? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. For landlords with property near Faygate station, a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.

Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
What happens if it’s left?
Repeat failures have a cause. Finding it, whether movement, water from elsewhere or an unsuitable product, ends the cycle. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Faygate, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.

How the visit works
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and clear up. It usually takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. Somewhere like Faygate needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First we find out how and where the joint has failed.
- We strip the joint completely, removing any layers below.
- The joint is cleaned, treated for mould and left to dry.
- We use the right backing and sealant for any joint that moves.
- Finally we finish the joint and talk you through what we found.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
