What we do, step by step
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. For a village or hamlet like Keeres Green, 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.
- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.
- We treat any mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- The joint is tooled and you’re told about anything else we found.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

What remedial sealant looks like in Keeres Green
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.
If you live in an older home near Parish Church of St Michael and All Angels, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Questions from Keeres Green
Do you cover Keeres Green for remedial sealant?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Keeres Green is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
What guarantee comes with remedial sealant in Keeres Green?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us.
Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and the location. If we need more, we will ask.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is usually more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Can failed expansion joints be resealed?
Yes. Backing sets the depth and stops the sealant sticking to the back, which lets it stretch.
Different surfaces, different methods
Windows & doors
Some leaks around windows come from the wall or the window itself. We check the joint and tell you if it looks to be something else.
Movement & expansion joints
Movement joints in floors, walls and façades need a flexible sealant set to the right depth. Failed sealant is cut out, backing rod or tape is fitted and the joint resealed.
Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
- Keep the room well ventilated
- Never seal over old silicone
- Deal with small splits early
Where we’ve pointed out another fault, have it put right, because the new sealant can’t hold back a problem underneath.
Leaks through failed sealant grow over time. Each use pushes more water behind the bead, into whatever is behind or below. Early action keeps it to a sealant job.

What else we do in Keeres Green
How we quote for remedial sealant
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- The number of rooms or windows
- Whether the work is at height
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The number and length of the joints
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- The address or postcode of the job
- The type of property
For remedial sealant in Keeres Green, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email. A short description of the job and where it is helps us quote, and you’ll get a clear quote before any work starts.
What we are called out for in Keeres Green
Some joints fail because water is reaching them from behind. A leaking valve, a failed waste or cracked grout feeds water behind the bead, so the silicone goes mouldy or lets go.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
If you look after a building such as Rodings 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.
What your quote should include
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Are they insured?
- What guarantee comes with the work
Landlords, agents and businesses in Keeres Green
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we’ll quote.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Should I try it myself first?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
