Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Hammerwood
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 leaking tray & enclosure joints, shrunken worktop sealant and failed movement joints, and the jobs we see most are smears and lumps from a botched reseal and repeat leaks from the same joint.
Being in a small place like Hammerwood makes no difference to the job itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Run the fan after every shower
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
- Don’t point over movement joints
Ventilation keeps mould away from the new bead: run the fan during and after showers, or open a window.
Signs to act on: peeling layers, mould showing through the bead, leaks after showering or cracks in a movement joint. Any of them means it’s time for remedial work.

What else we do in Hammerwood
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Hammerwood: your questions answered
I let a flat near Dormans station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders, and several properties can be quoted together. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Hammerwood?
Yes, Hammerwood is covered. 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.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Is it messy?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Does someone need to be in?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that normally means someone at home.
Will there be a smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Opening a window helps.
Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Someone sealed over the old bead. Can you fix it?
Yes. It’s slower than a standard reseal, because every layer has to come out cleanly, but it’s the only way the new joint will last.
Quotes for remedial sealant in Hammerwood
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The old material and how stubborn it is
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
What to tell us for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we’ll explain how we’d tackle it. When it suits you, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Hammerwood
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
When it is not the sealant
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Failed tanking or loose tiles behind the sealant
- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Failed movement joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Expansion joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
Bathrooms and kitchens in Hammerwood
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
Rented homes near Dormans station change hands often, and botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Stephen, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. Managing a site like Sackville School? Then washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.

How the job changes by surface
Leaking trays & enclosures
If the tray is cracked, or the leak is from the valve or waste, sealant won’t fix it. We will tell you what we find.
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Mould often spreads under the bead as well as through it. Once it’s all removed, the joint is treated so the new sealant starts clean.
