Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Leaden Roding
Getting old sealant out properly is slow, careful work. Every layer is cut out, the residue cleaned off and the joint degreased, without scratching tiles, trays or frames. New sealant only bonds to a clean, dry joint. We are often asked to deal with movement joints that have split or pulled away and sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted, on leaking tray & enclosure joints, mouldy bath & shower sealant and expansion joints.
Around Leaden Roding, 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.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Do you need remedial sealant in Leaden Roding?
Using the wrong product is a common cause: caulk where it gets wet, rigid sealant where things move, or an acetoxy silicone on a surface it can mark. Each fails in its own way.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
If you live in an older home near Parish Church of St Michael and All Angels, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
What to look for in a quote
- Is VAT in the price?
- What the cure time is
- The length of the guarantee

What affects the cost of remedial sealant
Your quote is based on your job. We look at:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How easy the joints are to reach
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
No two jobs are quite the same, 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’ll explain the quote if you ask.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, let us know:
- The rough size of the job
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- The address or postcode of the job
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we’ll explain how we’d tackle it. When it suits you, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
When something else is needed
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Water damage behind tiles that needs a tiler
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacing)
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Failed movement joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Expansion joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
Leave it or put it right?
Spraying mould remover on a sealed-over joint doesn’t reach what’s underneath. Removal is the only way to get at it, so the joint can be treated and resealed. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Leaden Roding, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote.

Your questions about remedial sealant in Leaden Roding
What guarantee comes with remedial sealant in Leaden Roding?
All our work, in Leaden Roding and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Can you do remedial sealant in Leaden Roding?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Leaden Roding is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures.

Yes. Stripping layered sealant takes longer than a normal reseal, but it’s what makes the new bead last.

Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We have worked for hotels, offices and other businesses.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes, regularly. Several properties can be quoted together, and between tenancies is a good time for the work.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What the job involves on each surface
Leaking trays & enclosures
A cracked tray, failed valve or leaking waste needs a different fix. We say so rather than reseal.
Windows & doors
Smeared or badly matched mastic can be cut out and redone neatly, in a colour that suits the frame.
