Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works.
How we handle remedial sealant in Horsenden
Water on the floor does not always mean failed silicone. Cracked trays, leaking wastes and faulty valves often look like a sealant problem. If that is what we find, we will tell you rather than reseal something that won’t fix it. If you have sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared and torn expansion joints, we can help, on leaking tray & enclosure joints, expansion joints and botched or over-sealed joints alike.
Somewhere as small as Horsenden, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Signs you need remedial sealant in Horsenden
All sealant wears out eventually. Over the years it shrinks, hardens and gets colonised by mould, faster where ventilation is poor. At that point it has to come out.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- A second bead peeling off the first
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
Managing a site like Princes Risborough School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
Questions to ask before booking
- How hidden problems are handled
- Is VAT in the price?
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
Surface by surface
Leaking trays & enclosures
Where the joints are the problem, every bead is stripped and resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone, including the screen profile and tray edges.
Over-sealed & botched joints
Every layer has to come out, including the smears and film on surrounding tiles. New sealant needs a fully clean surface.
The process
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you. The work normally takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out, depending on the amount of work. In a small place like Horsenden, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We look at how the sealant has failed and check for movement or a leak path.
- Every layer of old sealant is cut and cleaned out.
- Next, any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We use the right backing and sealant for any joint that moves.
- We tool the joint and tell you about anything else that needs attention.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Questions from Horsenden
Do you cover Horsenden for remedial sealant?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Horsenden is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Do you cover smaller places like Horsenden?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you reseal a split movement joint?
Yes. Backing sets the depth and stops the sealant sticking to the back, which lets it stretch.

Yes. All the sealant comes out, we find out why it failed, and the joint is resealed properly.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us and we are fully insured.
How long does remedial resealing take?
That depends on how many layers there are and how many joints. We will tell you before we start.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Does remedial work come with a guarantee?
Yes, with our 12-month guarantee. If we have pointed out another problem, getting it fixed helps the new joint last.

DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
- Do not add new sealant on top of old
- Deal with small splits early
- Keep the room well ventilated
Leave the new joint to cure fully before it gets wet or moves: follow the cure time we give you.
A split movement joint lets rain into walls and floors, and the longer it’s left, the more the joint edges break down. A joint with sound edges is far easier to reseal.
