- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
Can I do it myself?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Remedial sealant in Flemings, done properly
Remedial work is what we do when sealant has failed or been done badly. New sealant over old, smeared beads, unsuitable products and hidden mould all need stripping out before the joint can be done properly. We are often asked to deal with gaps opening along the back of the worktop and beads that never stuck properly, across mouldy bath & shower sealant, expansion joints and leaking tray & enclosure joints.
Being in a small place like Flemings makes no difference to the job itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

What sealant work can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Water damage behind tiles that needs a tiler
- Cracks in the fitting rather than the joint
- A bath, tray or worktop that moves until it’s properly fixed
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think.

Flemings: your questions answered
Do you cover Flemings for remedial sealant?
Yes, Flemings is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Do you cover smaller places like Flemings?
Yes. Flemings is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do the sealants smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The product needed can limit the range.
Where are you based?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Do you fix expansion and movement joints?
Yes. The depth is set with backing so the sealant only bonds to the two sides, which lets it stretch.
What do you put in the joint?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We will tell you what we are using and why.
What happens if it’s left?
DIY removal often leaves scratches and a film of residue, and the residue left behind stops the next bead bonding. Careful removal is most of a remedial job. Older cottages and farmhouses around Flemings can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.

- We never seal over old sealant
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme

How it works
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before we start. The work usually takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. For a village or hamlet like Flemings, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- 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.
- Once dry, a suitable sealant is applied and tooled.
- We give you the cure time and explain what caused the failure.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Mention any tricky access
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Advice
What the job involves on each surface
Worktops & kitchens
Kitchen joints often have grease and cleaning residue deep in them, so we spend extra time cleaning before resealing.
Leaking trays & enclosures
A shower that leaks after resealing often has a tray that moves or an enclosure sealed on the wrong side. Both are checked before any new sealant goes on.
For landlords and businesses
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
What else we do in Flemings
Bathrooms and kitchens in Flemings
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Managing a site like Ash Cartwright and Kelsey Church of England Primary School? Then 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. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Nicholas, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

What’s near Flemings

When to call us in Flemings
One of the commonest remedial jobs is sealant on top of sealant. Silicone doesn’t bond to silicone, so the top layer lifts and water and mould collect between the two.
Look out for these signs:
- Over-sealed joints coming away
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
For landlords with property near Sandwich station, a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.
