Remedial sealant in Force Green

Keeping the joints in good condition

Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:

  • Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
  • Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
  • Clean sealant with mild products only
  • Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing

Clean gently: a mild cleaner and a soft cloth, with no blades or scourers.

Mould trapped under over-sealed joints spreads unseen. By the time it shows through, the joint is well past saving.

About our remedial sealant in Force Green

A joint that keeps letting you down needs more than another bead. Send pictures when you phone 0345 464 0079 or email us. If you have black mould underneath the bead and leaks that keep coming back after resealing, we can put it right.

Hard London water leaves limescale on sealant, grout and taps alike. In Force Green, remedial sealant is as much about a room looking cared for as about keeping water out.

What we do, step by step

On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. Parking in much of London is by permit or pay-and-display, so it helps to know what’s near you in Force Green. A visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the visit run more smoothly.

  1. We protect the surfaces around the joint.
  2. Every layer of failed sealant is stripped out.
  3. The joint is degreased and checked for movement and leaks.
  4. New sealant goes in once the joint is dry, and is tooled smooth.
  5. We give you the cure time and explain what caused the failure.

How to prepare

  • Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
  • On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
  • Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Advice

When to call us in Force Green

Using the wrong product is a common cause: caulk where it gets wet, rigid sealant where things move, or an acetoxy silicone on a surface it can mark. None of them last.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
  • Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
  • Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
  • Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface

Force Green is in London, so parking needs planning: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.

What affects the cost of remedial sealant

For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:

  • Whether the work is at height
  • How many areas need sealing
  • Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
  • When we can work, for business premises

Doing several joints on one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits. We will give you a clear price for the lot.

What we need to know

Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:

  • Any access issues, like height or stairs
  • Where the job is, and your postcode
  • Whether it has been sealed before
  • The problem you’ve noticed

Getting a quote is simple: let us know what needs doing and where and its rough size. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand, and we’ll take it from there.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Force Green

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. London has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.

In the older streets around Church of St Mary the Virgin, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. Letting a property close to Oxted station? Then botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.

Leave it or put it right?

Remedial work takes longer than a straight reseal, but rarely a lot: it takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. Compared with chasing the same leak every few months, it’s time well spent. In London conversions, one flat’s bathroom is often above another flat’s ceiling, and a slow leak from a failed seal can end up in the flat below. Putting it right early is much less trouble for homes in Force Green.

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.

What you get with us

  • Homes, businesses and hotels
  • White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows
  • An ARBOMaster approved applicator
  • Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over

FAQs for Force Green

Can worn sealant in a flat in Force Green cause a leak downstairs?

Yes, it can. Water that gets past failed sealant or cracked grout can run under the bath or tray and show up on the ceiling below. Replacing the sealant and grout before that happens is much less trouble than repairing a neighbour’s ceiling.

Is parking a problem for a job in Force Green?

It can be, so it helps to tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. The visit is then planned around what’s available.

Can you fix a reseal that hasn’t worked?

Yes. There’s usually a reason: sealant over sealant, movement or another leak, and we deal with the cause first.

Do the sealants smell?

Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.

Do you remove the old sealant?

Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.

Can you quote for more than one area?

Yes, we can. More than one area can be quoted together.

Will it make a mess?

No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.

Can I choose the sealant colour?

Usually, yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours for many products, and we agree the colour with you before any work starts.

For landlords and businesses

In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.

Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. Several properties can go on one quote.

Surface by surface

Mouldy bath & shower sealant

Black mould inside the bead will not scrub out. All of it comes out, and the joint is treated and dried before anti-fungal sanitary silicone goes in.

Over-sealed & botched joints

Botched joints sometimes have damaged edges from earlier scraping. We work carefully to avoid adding to it, and tell you about any damage we find.
