Forty Hill Remedial Sealant
We cover Forty Hill for removing failed, mouldy or leaking sealant and putting it right. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
How it works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you. The visit itself usually takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out, depending on the amount of work. For a job in Forty Hill, parking and access are the things to plan: let us know about parking, the floor we’ll be working on and any lift or shared entrance.
- First we find out how and where the joint has failed.
- Every layer of old sealant is cut and cleaned out.
- The joint is cleaned, treated for mould and left to dry.
- Where the joint moves, backing and a flexible sealant suited to the movement go in.
- Finally we finish the joint and talk you through what we found.
Before we arrive
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Clear the area around the work
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Related advice
Remedial sealant in Forty Hill
If a joint fails again and again, something is causing it. Movement, the wrong product or a leak from somewhere else will defeat even a perfect bead. We look for the cause before we reseal. We work on mouldy bath & shower sealant, leaking tray & enclosure joints and botched or over-sealed joints, and common reasons people get in touch are worktop sealant that has shrunk and split and dark patches showing through the sealant.
London homes include a lot of flats, conversions and mansion blocks, so a bathroom is often directly above a neighbour’s ceiling. In Forty Hill, that is a good reason to put tired sealant and grout right early.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
FAQs for Forty Hill
Is parking a problem for a job in Forty Hill?
London parking needs a little planning, so let us know about permits, bays or a driveway when you book. The visit is then planned around what’s available.
I let a flat near Turkey Street station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Can old silicone be taken off without scratching the tiles?
Yes. The old bead is cut and lifted with tools that suit the surface, then clean off the residue. Any existing damage is pointed out before work begins.
Do I have to be there?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that generally means someone at home.
Do you come to Forty Hill?
We do. Our applicators work in Forty Hill, and the service is the same as everywhere else.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We have worked for hotels, offices and other businesses, and we’re fully insured.
How long should I leave it?
That depends on the sealant used, so follow the cure time we give you when we finish.
When it isn’t the sealant
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- Older mastics that may need an asbestos check before removal
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacing)
- Water damage behind tiles that needs a tiler
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Expansion joints
- Failed movement joints
Surface by surface
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Where mould keeps coming back, ventilation is normally part of the cause. Along with resealing, we’ll mention if the room needs better ventilation.
Worktops & kitchens
Kitchen joints often have grease and cleaning residue deep in them, so we spend extra time cleaning.

What happens if it’s left?
Adding more sealant is the usual quick fix, and it rarely works. It can’t bond to what’s underneath, leaving the leak in place and one more layer to cut out later. Converted houses in London often have a bathroom above someone else’s living room, and a slow leak from a failed seal can end up in the flat below. Putting it right early is much less trouble.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Forty Hill homes and their sealant
London has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and taps. In a London flat, water from a failed bath or shower seal can reach the neighbours below, so tired sealant is best dealt with early.
Schools such as Worcesters Primary School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. Homes close to Jesus Church include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. As a London address, Forty Hill can be tricky for parking: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.
