Manor Park: your questions answered
Can worn sealant in a flat in Manor Park cause a leak downstairs?
Yes, it can. Water that gets past failed sealant or cracked grout can run under the bath or tray and show up on the ceiling below. Replacing the sealant and grout before that happens is much less trouble than repairing a neighbour’s ceiling.
Do you take on hotel work around Manor Park?
Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
Can you fix a reseal that hasn’t worked?
Yes. We’ll take all the sealant out, look for why it failed and reseal it properly.
What if resealing won’t fix my leak?
Then we explain what we have found. You may need a plumber or bathroom fitter before any new sealant goes on.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Does someone need to be in?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
Do you fix expansion and movement joints?
Yes. Failed movement joints are cut out and resealed with backing and a flexible sealant suited to the movement.
Can I do it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
Remedial sealant in Manor Park, done properly
The wrong product in the wrong joint fails however neatly it’s applied. We take it out and use a sealant made for that joint. If you’re dealing with black mould underneath the bead and sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted, we can help, on leaking tray & enclosure joints, botched or over-sealed joints and mouldy bath & shower sealant alike.
Much of London’s older housing is Victorian and Edwardian terraces, many of them now split into flats, and bathrooms were often squeezed into small rooms. A compact bathroom that steams up every day is hard on silicone and grout, and homes in Manor Park are no different.
All our work is covered by our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Greater London.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Manor Park
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. London has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and taps.
Letting a property close to Manor Park station? Then botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants. If you live in an older home near St Mary's Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. As a London address, Manor Park can be tricky for parking: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.

Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we will quote.
Should I try it myself first?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.
When something else is needed
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
- A tray or worktop that needs refixing first
- Plumbing leaks behind walls or under trays

The process
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. The work generally takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. For a job in Manor Park, parking and access are the things to plan: let us know about parking, the floor we will be working on and any lift or shared entrance.
- We start by checking the joint for movement, leaks and the reason it failed.
- All the old sealant comes out, including any layers underneath.
- We clean the joint, treat any mould and let it dry.
- We use the right backing and sealant for any joint that moves.
- We tool the joint and tell you about anything else that needs attention.
Preparing for the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Clear the area around the work

Advice
Why deal with it now?
DIY removal often leaves scratches and a film of residue, and any film left behind stops new sealant sticking. Careful stripping is where most of our time goes. In a flat in Manor Park, failed sealant seldom stays inside your own four walls: water can reach the neighbours below, and gaps in fire-rated joints affect the whole building.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Deal with small splits early
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
- Never seal over old silicone
Ventilation keeps mould away from the new bead: run the fan during and after showers, or open a window.
Mould under a second layer of sealant keeps growing out of sight. By the time it shows through, the joint is well past saving.
What affects the cost of remedial sealant
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Any mould that needs treating
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.

- Photos by email, if that is easy
- The rough size of the job
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Where the job is, and your postcode
We do not publish a price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, we give you a clear quote for your job. To arrange one, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
