Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Maypole
Removing failed sealant is the hardest part of the job. 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. If you are dealing with dark patches showing through the sealant and a shower that leaks however often it’s resealed, we can put it right.
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 Maypole are no different.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

How long does the work take?
Allow a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. You will know the timing when we quote.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Remedial sealant around Maypole
In a London flat, water from a failed bath or shower seal can reach the neighbours below, so tired sealant is best dealt with early. London has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Chelsfield 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. In the older streets around Mission Chapel, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

What else we do in Maypole
Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Check ceilings under showers for marks
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
- Act on a lifting corner straight away
- Keep the room well ventilated
If the joint ever needs renewing, have it cut out, not sealed over. New silicone does not bond to old.
Movement joints that have split let water into the structure, and the longer it’s left, the more the joint edges break down. Resealing while the edges are sound is simpler.
Quotes for remedial sealant in Maypole
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The number of rooms or windows
- Whether the work is at height
- The type of sealant required
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 make a difference.
What to tell us for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- A few pictures by email, if you can
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email photos if that is easy.
How the job changes by surface
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Mould that has grown into silicone does not clean out for good. The sealant is cut out completely, the joint treated with a mould remover and dried before anti-fungal sanitary silicone goes in.
Leaking trays & enclosures
If the tray is cracked, or the leak is from the valve or waste, sealant won’t fix it. We’ll tell you what we find.
Signs you need remedial sealant in Maypole
Sealant needs a clean, dry surface with no grease on it. Soap film, dust, damp or old residue stop it gripping, so it starts lifting sooner than it should.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- Beads that never stuck properly
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
- Torn expansion joints
Maypole is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

Leave it or put it right?
Repeat failures have a cause. Finding it, whether movement, water from elsewhere or an unsuitable product, ends the cycle. In a flat in Maypole, 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.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Why book with us
- Domestic, commercial and hotel work
- A choice of colours where the product allows
- Fully insured
