Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Ivy Chimneys
Two decades of sealant work means we recognise most failures quickly. We are fully insured ARBOMaster approved applicators, and remedial work carries our 12-month guarantee. We’re often asked to deal with sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared and gaps opening along the back of the worktop, on failed movement joints, leaking tray & enclosure joints and mouldy bath & shower sealant.
Around Ivy Chimneys, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats. The work is the same as anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee.

Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
- Don’t wait for a small gap to become a leak
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.
A split movement joint lets rain into walls and floors, and the longer it’s left, the more the joint edges break down. Resealing while the edges are sound is simpler.
What the job involves on each surface
Over-sealed & botched joints
Botched joints sometimes have damaged edges from earlier scraping. We take care not to make it worse, and point out any existing damage.
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Where mould keeps coming back, ventilation is usually part of the cause. Along with resealing, we will mention if the room needs better ventilation.
Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Landlord and commercial work in Ivy Chimneys
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.

Call for a quick quote. What matters most is:
- How many areas need sealing

Asking for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- How we’d reach the joints
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Where the property is
- Whether it has been sealed before
For a quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the location and a short description of the problem. We will give you a clear quote before any work starts.
The process
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. In a small place like Ivy Chimneys, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Advice
What happens if it’s left?
Remedial work takes longer than a straight reseal, but rarely a lot: the work takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. Compared with chasing the same leak every few months, it’s time well spent. In a small place like Ivy Chimneys, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
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.

What remedial sealant looks like in Ivy Chimneys
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in. Ivy Chimneys has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room.
If you look after a building such as Ivy Chimneys Primary School, 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. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St John the Baptist, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
