Remedial sealant in Foots Cray
With more than 20 years’ experience, our applicators have seen most of the ways sealant can fail. We are fully insured ARBOMaster approved applicators, and remedial work carries our 12-month guarantee. We work on failed movement joints, expansion joints and botched or over-sealed joints, and people most often call us about a second bead peeling off the first and kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop.
London’s water is hard, so limescale builds up along sealant lines, in grout and on fittings. In Foots Cray, remedial sealant is as much about a room looking cared for as about keeping water out.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Foots Cray as everywhere else we work.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Foots Cray
London has a lot of flats and conversions, and a failed shower or bath seal in one can show up on the ceiling below, which is why it’s worth fixing early. London has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
Managing a site like Orchard 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. Letting a property close to Sidcup station? Then botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants. For an older house near a landmark such as Parish Church of All Saints, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
- Find out why the sealant failed first
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
Do not let anyone seal over it later. New silicone doesn’t bond to old.
A failing joint rarely gets better on its own. Each use pushes more water behind the bead, into whatever is behind or below. Early action keeps it to a sealant job.
Your questions about remedial sealant in Foots Cray
Is parking a problem for a job in Foots Cray?
London parking needs a little planning, so let us know about permits, bays or a driveway when you book. That way the visit can be planned around it.
I let a flat near Sidcup station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can go on one quote. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We will give you the cure time for the product we used.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we’re fully insured too.
What if resealing will not fix my leak?
That is why we look for the cause first. If the fault is elsewhere, you will know before any work is done.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we’ve been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.

If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.

Quotes for remedial sealant in Foots Cray
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- How many areas need sealing
- The amount of work
- Working hours on commercial sites
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before work begins.
What we need to know
You don’t need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Where the property is
- The type of property
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints.
What the job involves on each surface
Windows & doors
Wrong-coloured or messy mastic can be replaced for appearance too, in a colour that suits the frame.
Leaking trays & enclosures
If the tray is cracked, or the leak is from the valve or waste, sealant won’t fix it. We say so rather than reseal.
Landlord and commercial work in Foots Cray
We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
How it works
You do not need to clear the whole room or building, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out for a typical job. In Foots Cray, 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.
- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off.
- We treat any mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The right product goes in, with backing where the joint moves.
- The joint is tooled and you’re told about anything else we found.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
Getting a quote
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know what needs doing and where. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand.
Advice
Can I do it myself?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
