About our remedial sealant in Great Burgh
Removing failed sealant is the hardest part of the job. We cut out every layer, clear the residue and degrease the surfaces, taking care not to scratch the surfaces around it. New sealant only bonds to a clean, dry joint. Common call-outs are for over-sealed joints coming away and kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop, on mouldy bath & shower sealant, leaking tray & enclosure joints and failed movement joints.
Smaller places like Great Burgh still have plenty of bathrooms that work hard every day. Whether it’s a cottage bathroom or a newer en suite, the approach is the same: all the old material out, the joint cleaned and dried, then new sealant or grout.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

What we cannot put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- A tray or bath that is cracked
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
- Failed tanking or loose tiles behind the sealant
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What we seal
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Failed movement joints
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Expansion joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
Why it’s worth doing now in Great Burgh
It’s easy to scratch acrylic, enamel or an uPVC frame cutting out old sealant, and any film left behind stops new sealant sticking. Careful removal is most of a remedial job. Homes in smaller places like Great Burgh can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Great Burgh questions
Do you cover Great Burgh for remedial sealant?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Great Burgh is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Will you come out to Great Burgh?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you guarantee remedial jobs?
Yes. You get our 12-month guarantee, and we are ARBOMaster approved.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Someone sealed over the old bead. Can you fix it?
Yes. Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off, then the joint is resealed once.
Someone resealed my shower and it’s leaking again. Can you help?
Yes. Repeat leaks normally come from over-sealing, movement or water getting in elsewhere, so we find that first.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few pictures.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes, often. Several properties can be quoted together, and between tenancies is a good time for the work.
When to call us in Great Burgh
Joint depth matters. Sealant packed too deep, or stuck to the back of the joint as well as the sides, can’t stretch, so it tears when the joint moves. Backing sets the depth and stops that.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
- Beads that never stuck properly
- Black mould underneath the bead
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
If you let a flat or house near Tattenham Corner station, failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.
What your quote should include
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Who turns up on the day
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
Should I try it myself first?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Different surfaces, different methods
Windows & doors
A frame that keeps leaking may not be the mastic. If the frame joint is not the cause, we will say so.
Worktops & kitchens
Kitchen joints hold grease and residue, so we spend extra time cleaning before resealing.
Remedial sealant in Great Burgh: local notes
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
For an older house near a landmark such as St Mark, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. If you look after a building such as Shawley Community Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- Surrounding tiles, trays and frames are protected first.
- Every layer of failed sealant is stripped out.
- The joint is degreased and checked for movement and leaks.
