Howt Green Remedial Sealant
Problem with your failed sealant joints in Howt Green? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly.
- Beads that never stuck properly
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
- A second bead peeling off the first
How we handle remedial sealant in Howt Green
The wrong product in the wrong joint fails however neatly it’s applied. We take it out and use a sealant made for that joint. If you’re dealing with mould trapped under a layer of silicone and beads that never stuck properly, we can put it right.
Around Howt Green, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. The work is the same as anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

When it isn’t the sealant
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A tray or bath that is cracked
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
- Plumbing leaks behind walls or under trays
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Where we work in Howt Green
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Expansion joints
- Failed movement joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Shrunken worktop sealant
When to call us in Howt Green
Even good sealant ages. Over the years it shrinks, hardens and gets colonised by mould. At that point it has to come out.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A second bead peeling off the first
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
- Torn expansion joints
- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
If you live in an older home near Church of St Bartholomew, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
Before booking anyone
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- How hidden problems are handled
- Which colour the sealant will be
Should I try it myself first?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Howt Green questions
I let a flat near Kemsley station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you cover smaller places like Howt Green?
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.
Does remedial work come with a guarantee?
Yes. Our one-year guarantee covers the work, and we are ARBOMaster approved.
When is the sealant fully cured?
That depends on the sealant used, so please follow the time we give you when we finish.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Can you remove sealant that is been put over old sealant?
Yes. Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off, before resealing with a single bead.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Does someone need to be in?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that normally means someone at home.
Quotes for remedial sealant in Howt Green
Your quote is based on your job. We look at:

- The old material and how stubborn it is

- The number and length of the joints
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.

- Where the property is
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Whether it’s a home or a business

For landlords and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we’ll quote.
Why act early in Howt Green
Remedial work takes longer than a straight reseal, but rarely a lot: it takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. It’s far less disruption than resealing the same joint again and again. Around Howt Green, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Combining jobs into one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.
