About our remedial sealant in Leverstock Green
Decorators’ caulk in a shower, bathroom silicone on a window, a rigid filler in a movement joint will not last, however tidy it looks. We take it out and use a sealant made for that joint. We work on botched or over-sealed joints, expansion joints and shrunken worktop sealant, and the jobs we see most are products that weren’t meant for the joint and sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface.
Homes around Leverstock Green range from older cottages to more recent houses. Older homes can move a little with the seasons, which is hard on tired sealant and rigid grout.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

Why act early in Leverstock Green
Leaks that are left keep doing damage out of sight: wet floors, stained ceilings and swollen worktops. By comparison, sorting the joint is quick. Around Leverstock Green, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.

For landlords and businesses
We also work for property managers and facilities teams. Several sites can be quoted together.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
What we do, step by step
Once we’re on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. Parking around Leverstock Green is usually easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- 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.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

What we’re called out for in Leverstock Green
Water from somewhere else can ruin a good seal. A slow leak behind the tiles soaks the joint from the back, so the silicone goes mouldy or lets go.
The problems people usually mention when they call include:
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
For landlords with property near Apsley station, botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.
Before booking anyone
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Whether they’re fully insured
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Act on a lifting corner right away
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
Ventilation keeps mould away from the new bead: run the fan during and after showers, or open a window.
Movement joints that have split let water into the structure, and left long enough, the edges of the joint can crumble. Resealing while the edges are sound is simpler.
FAQs for Leverstock Green
Do older homes in Leverstock Green need their sealant replacing?
In most cases, yes, if it hasn’t been done for a while. Sealant doesn’t last for ever, and its life depends on use, cleaning and weather, and many homes in Leverstock Green may already be on their second or third set.
I let a flat near Apsley station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners, and several properties can be quoted together. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
How long does the work take?
That depends on how many layers there are and how many joints. We will tell you before we start.
Where do you work from?
We’re a Crawley-based firm. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
What should I tell you?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we’ve been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.
What sealant work cannot fix
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- A tray or worktop that needs refixing first
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think before booking.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Failed movement joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Expansion joints
Different surfaces, different methods
Leaking trays & enclosures
If the tray is cracked, or the leak is from the valve or waste, sealant will not fix it. We’ll tell you what we find.
Over-sealed & botched joints
Every layer has to come out, and silicone residue is cleaned off the tiles too. New sealant needs a fully clean surface.
What remedial sealant looks like in Leverstock Green
Leverstock Green is part of Hemel Hempstead, one of the post-war new towns. Many homes date from the post-war decades, so bathrooms and kitchens may be on their second or third set of sealant. New sealant won’t stick to old, so the old layers have to come out first. Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Managing a site like Leverstock Green Church of England Primary School? Then 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. Homes close to Church of Holy Trinity include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
