FAQs for Harvel
Is Harvel in your area for remedial sealant?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Harvel is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Will you come out to Harvel?
Yes, Harvel is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Which products do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We’ll tell you what we are using and why.
Is it worth trying it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Can you reseal a split movement joint?
Yes. Backing sets the depth and stops the sealant sticking to the back.

What information do you need?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Can landlords and businesses book you?

Remedial sealant in Harvel, done properly
Removing failed sealant is the hardest part of the job. Every layer is cut out, the residue cleaned off and the joint degreased, taking care not to scratch the surfaces around it. New sealant only bonds to a clean, dry joint. We work on leaking tray & enclosure joints, botched or over-sealed joints and mouldy bath & shower sealant, and the jobs we see most are a second bead peeling off the first and black mould underneath the bead.
Being in a small place like Harvel makes no difference to the job itself: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Why act early in Harvel
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. In a small place like Harvel, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
We do not show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.

When it isn’t the sealant
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’ll tell you before we start. Sealant won’t put right:
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- Older mastics that may need an asbestos check before removal
- A leaking trap, valve or supply pipe
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Failed movement joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant

What affects the quote in Harvel
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- How much there is to do
- Which sealant suits the joint
- How many areas need sealing
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll go through it with you.
What we need to know
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- A few photos by email, if you can
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is.
Landlord and commercial work in Harvel
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we will quote.
Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
- Don’t wait for a small gap to become a leak
- Find out why the sealant failed first
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
If we have found a cause, such as a loose tray or a leaking waste, get it fixed, because the new sealant cannot hold back a problem underneath.
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.

Do you need remedial sealant in Harvel?
Movement tears sealant that is not designed for it. A bath that flexes, a tray that rocks or a building joint that opens and closes split any bead that’s too stiff or too thin.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
- A second bead peeling off the first
Letting a property close to Sole Street station? Then failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.
