- Torn expansion joints
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- Beads that never stuck properly
Different surfaces, different methods
Windows & doors
A frame that keeps leaking may not be the mastic. We check the joint and tell you if it looks to be something else.
Movement & expansion joints
A sealant stuck to the back of the joint can’t stretch. Backing rod or bond-breaker tape prevents it, so the sealant grips the two sides only.
Remedial sealant in Havering-atte-Bower
Movement and expansion joints fail when the sealant cannot stretch. The old sealant comes out and backing goes in to control the depth, before resealing with a flexible product suited to the movement. We’re often asked to deal with floor or wall movement joints that have failed and caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area, across mouldy bath & shower sealant, failed movement joints and shrunken worktop sealant.
In a village or hamlet like Havering-atte-Bower, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

FAQs for Havering-atte-Bower
Is Havering-atte-Bower in your area for remedial sealant?
Yes, Havering-atte-Bower is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Is Havering-atte-Bower within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Someone resealed my shower and it’s leaking again. Can you help?
Yes. We will take all the sealant out, look for why it failed and reseal it properly.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
What if the leak is not the sealant?
That’s why we look for the cause first. If we find the leak is elsewhere, we tell you before going further.
How long does the work take?
It takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. We’ll give you a timescale when we quote.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and we will quote it together.
Do I need to be at home?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Signs you need remedial sealant in Havering-atte-Bower
A lot of failed joints have been sealed over rather than replaced. New silicone can’t stick to the old bead, so the new layer peels, and damp and mould settle between them.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
- Torn expansion joints
- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
In the older streets around Church of St John the Evangelist, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
What to look for in a quote

What we do, step by step
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied in most cases. For a village or hamlet like Havering-atte-Bower, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We protect the surfaces around the joint.
- Every layer of failed sealant is stripped out.
- The joint is degreased and checked for movement and leaks.
- New sealant goes in once the joint is dry, and is tooled smooth.
- We give you the cure time and explain what caused the failure.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
- Check trays and worktops don’t move
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
If the joint ever needs renewing, have it cut out, not sealed over. New silicone doesn’t bond to old, so the old bead should always come out first.
Leaks through failed sealant grow over time. Every shower or downpour sends more water through, into floors, walls or ceilings. Early action keeps it to a sealant job.
