Remedial sealant & repairs in Furzedown, Greater London
We cover Furzedown for removing failed, mouldy or leaking sealant and putting it right. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly.

About our remedial sealant in Furzedown
Decorators’ caulk in a shower, bathroom silicone on a window, a rigid filler in a movement joint will not last, however tidy it looks. Out it comes, and in goes a sealant suited to the job. We work on leaking tray & enclosure joints, expansion joints and shrunken worktop sealant, and common reasons people get in touch are over-sealed joints coming away and repeat leaks from the same joint.
London’s water is hard, so limescale builds up along sealant lines, in grout and on fittings. For a bathroom or kitchen in Furzedown, getting the joints right keeps water where it belongs and the room looking clean.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Furzedown and everywhere else we cover.

Furzedown homes and their sealant
London has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in. 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.
For an older house near a landmark such as St Paul's Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. As a London address, Furzedown can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

What the job involves on each surface
Over-sealed & botched joints
A thick bead smeared across tiles often hides mould or gaps. We strip it back so we can see the joint.
Movement & expansion joints
A movement joint must be able to stretch. We remove the failed sealant, fit backing and reseal.
Questions from Furzedown
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Tooting station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Could a tired shower seal in my Furzedown flat affect the neighbours below?
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.
Which products do you use?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
How much does remedial sealant cost in Furzedown?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing and where.
Someone resealed my shower and it’s leaking again. Can you help?
Yes, generally. First we check whether the leak is the sealant at all, then strip and reseal the joints.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
What if the leak isn’t the sealant?
You will hear it from us. A cracked tray, faulty valve or leaking waste needs a different trade, so we won’t pretend it will.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status, and we’re fully insured.
Signs you need remedial sealant in Furzedown
Silicone only bonds to surfaces that are clean and dry. Residue, moisture or dust left in the joint weaken the bond, so it starts lifting sooner than it should.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
Schools such as Graveney School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
Questions to ask before you book
- Is VAT in the price?
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
Landlord and commercial work in Furzedown
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too. We can quote a run of properties together.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Act on a lifting corner right away
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
- Never seal over old silicone
Ventilation keeps mould away from the new bead: run the fan during and after showers, or open a window.
Mould trapped under over-sealed joints spreads unseen. By the time it shows through, the joint is well past saving.

Why deal with it now?
A joint that has failed twice will fail again unless the cause is dealt with. Taking time to find the cause, whether it’s movement, a leak or the wrong product, is what stops it happening again. Damp from a failed joint spreads quietly in older London brickwork and timber, and once it shows in Furzedown, the repair is bigger than a sealant job.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.

How the visit works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you. The visit itself usually takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out, depending on the amount of work. In a London area like Furzedown, the main things to plan are parking and access: let us know about parking, the floor we’ll be working on and any lift or shared entrance.
- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off.
- Mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- The joint is tooled and you are told about anything else we found.
Preparing for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
