Remedial Sealant in Kentish Town
Problem with your failed sealant joints in Kentish Town? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant.
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
- Torn expansion joints
Remedial sealant in Kentish Town
Movement and expansion joints fail when the sealant cannot stretch. We cut out the failed sealant and set the depth with backing, then a flexible sealant matched to the movement goes in. If you are dealing with leaks that keep coming back after resealing and over-sealed joints coming away, we can help, on failed movement joints, botched or over-sealed joints and expansion joints alike.
Much of London’s older housing is Victorian and Edwardian terraces, many of them now split into flats, with bathrooms fitted into whatever space was available. Small, steamy rooms are where mould gets into sealant and grout fastest, and homes in Kentish Town are no different.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a short description of the job.
Does remedial work come with a guarantee?
Yes. Every job comes with our one-year guarantee.
When is the sealant fully cured?
It depends on the product and the temperature. Before we leave, we’ll tell you the cure time.
Is there any odour?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
Signs you need remedial sealant in Kentish Town
One of the commonest remedial jobs is sealant on top of sealant. Silicone does not bond to silicone, so the new layer peels, and damp and mould settle between them.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
- Over-sealed joints coming away
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
Letting a property close to Kentish Town West station? Then failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.
Questions to ask before you book
- Which colour the sealant will be
- What the cure time is
- Whether VAT is included
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
What happens on the day
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we do not rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. In Kentish Town, as in most of London, parking needs a little planning. It helps if you can point us to a visitor permit or a bay close to the door.
- The failure is looked at first, so we know whether it’s sealant, movement or water from elsewhere.
- Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.
- Mould is treated and the joint dried.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Hotels need rooms back in use, 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.

Why act early in Kentish Town
Remedial work takes longer than a straight reseal, but rarely a lot: it takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. It’s far less disruption than resealing the same joint again and again. In a London flat, a failed joint rarely stays your problem alone: water can reach the neighbours below, and gaps in fire-rated joints affect the whole building.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
What you get with us
- Colour agreed with you before any work starts
- Old sealant always removed completely
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator
- 20+ years of sealant experience

Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
- Clean sealant with mild products only
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
Give the new sealant its full cure time: follow the cure time we give you.
Leaks through failed sealant grow over time. Every shower or downpour sends more water through, into floors, walls or ceilings. Sorting it early limits the damage.
Honest limits
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- A bath, tray or worktop that moves until it’s properly fixed
- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
- Water damage behind tiles that needs a tiler
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Kentish Town homes and their sealant
Kentish Town has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room. In a London flat, water from a failed bath or shower seal can reach the neighbours below, which is why it’s worth fixing early.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of the Holy Trinity with St Barnabas, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. Kentish Town is in London, so parking needs planning: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.
