About our remedial sealant in Greengate
The wrong product in the wrong joint fails however neatly it’s applied. Out it comes, and in goes a sealant suited to the job. We work on failed movement joints, expansion joints and shrunken worktop sealant, and common reasons people get in touch are wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones and a second bead peeling off the first.
Hard London water leaves limescale on sealant, grout and taps alike. For a bathroom or kitchen in Greengate, getting the joints right keeps water where it belongs and the room looking clean.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Greengate
London’s water is hard, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and taps, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Greengate. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room.
Greengate is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway. Homes close to St Andrew's Church include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. If you let a flat or house near West Ham station, failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.

Other services in Greengate
Surface by surface
Windows & doors
Failed frame mastic is often hard, cracked and in several layers. All of it is cut out and the frame and wall cleaned.
Worktops & kitchens
Shrunken worktop sealant leaves a gap that lets water into the back edge. It’s cut out, degreased and resealed.
Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
- Run the fan after every shower
- Check trays and worktops do not move
Watch the joint over the first few weeks, especially if movement was the problem. Should anything change, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
If a joint has failed more than once, stop resealing it. Have someone find out why, or the next bead will go the same way.
How the visit works
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. Many London jobs are in flats, so we come ready for stairs, narrow hallways and shared entrances. Mention any building rules, key holders or managing agents when you book.
- The failure is looked at first, so we know whether it’s sealant, movement or water from elsewhere.
- Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.
- Mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The right product goes in, with backing where the joint moves.
- The joint is tooled and you are told about anything else we found.
Getting ready for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Move anything stored near the joints

Common questions in Greengate
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Greengate?
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 live in a flat in Greengate. Can a failed seal leak into the flat below?
It can, yes: water that gets past a split bead or cracked grout often runs under the tray and shows on the ceiling below. Replacing the sealant and grout before that happens is much less trouble than repairing a neighbour’s ceiling.
Does remedial work come with a guarantee?
Yes, for 12 months. Where we have flagged another fault, it needs fixing for the joint to last.
Can you strip sealant from an acrylic tray safely?
Yes. Careful removal is most of a remedial job, particularly on softer surfaces like acrylic.
Will there be a smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Opening a window helps.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
How we quote for remedial sealant
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- Any mould that needs treating
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The number of rooms or windows
- The product the joint needs
Every job is a little different, 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 we need to know
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- The rough size of the job
- A few pictures by email, if you can
For a quote, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the location and a short description of the problem. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Greengate
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
When something else is needed
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Older mastics that may need an asbestos check before removal
- Water damage behind tiles that needs a tiler
- Movement from fittings that are not supported
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.

Why act early in Greengate
Remedial work takes longer than a straight reseal, but not by much: the work takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. It’s far less disruption than resealing the same joint again and again. In a flat in Greengate, failed sealant seldom stays inside your own four walls: water can reach the neighbours below, and gaps in fire-rated joints affect the whole building.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.
What you get with us
- Over 20 years’ experience
- Every job guaranteed for a year
- White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows
