Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Hackney Wick
A joint that keeps letting you down needs more than another bead. It helps to have photos when you phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email. If you’re dealing with smears and lumps from a botched reseal and sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface, we can help.
Across London, a large share of homes are flats, conversions or mansion blocks, so a bathroom is often directly above a neighbour’s ceiling. That makes worn sealant and cracked grout in Hackney Wick more than a cosmetic job.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

What happens on the day
We bring everything the job needs with us. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. In a London area like Hackney Wick, the main things to plan are parking and access: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space, which floor we’re working on and whether there’s a lift.
- 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.
- Once dry, a suitable sealant is applied and tooled.
- You get the cure time and our view on why the joint failed.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Move anything stored near the joints

Why deal with it now?
Spraying mould remover on a sealed-over joint doesn’t reach what’s underneath. The layers have to come out, and the joint treated and dried before resealing. In a London flat, a failed joint rarely stays your problem alone: water can reach the neighbours below, and gaps in fire-rated joints affect the whole building.
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

Take a look at what affects the cost and our reviews.
Can I do it myself?
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.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Common problems we fix in Hackney Wick
All sealant wears out eventually. Mould grows into the silicone, the surface hardens and the bead shrinks, faster where ventilation is poor. Then the only fix is removal and a new bead.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
Managing a site like Mossbourne Riverside Academy? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

I let a flat near Hackney Wick station. Can you help?

Is parking an issue for remedial sealant in Hackney Wick?
Parking in Hackney Wick, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day run more smoothly, so mention what’s available when you book.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Will there be a smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Opening a window helps.
Do you guarantee remedial jobs?
Yes. You get our 12-month guarantee, and we’re ARBOMaster approved.
Can you remove old sealant without damaging the bath?
Yes. We take our time over removal, especially on acrylic, enamel and uPVC.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
We help you choose a colour that suits. The product needed can limit the range.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- A bath, tray or worktop that moves until it’s properly fixed
- Older mastics that may need an asbestos check before removal
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Expansion joints

Surface by surface
Leaking trays & enclosures
A shower that leaks after resealing often has a tray that moves or an enclosure sealed on the wrong side. Both are checked before any new sealant goes on.
Movement & expansion joints
Some movement joints have been filled with mortar or grout. Where it can be raked out, we replace it with flexible sealant.
