Common problems we fix in Milton Street
Sealant needs a clean, dry surface with no grease on it. Residue, moisture or dust left in the joint weaken the bond, so it starts lifting sooner than it should.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
- Black mould underneath the bead
- Over-sealed joints coming away
If you let a flat or house near Berwick (Sussex) station, botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.

Homes close to St Mary and St Peter's Church include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

Worktops & kitchens
If a worktop moves when you lean on it, the sealant will keep splitting. It needs fixing down first, which we’ll point out.
Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Never seal over old silicone
- Deal with small splits early
- Check ceilings under showers for marks
- Check trays and worktops don’t move
Clean gently: no scraping, scouring pads or harsh chemicals.
A failing joint rarely gets better on its own. Every shower or downpour sends more water through, into whatever is behind or below. Early action keeps it to a sealant job.
When it isn’t the sealant
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- Movement from fittings that are not supported
- A leaking trap, valve or supply pipe
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.

- Botched or over-sealed joints

Milton Street questions
Will you come out to Milton Street?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Milton Street?
Yes, we work for hotels as well as homes and businesses. Rooms can be done a few at a time, so the building stays open.
Is remedial work guaranteed?
Yes. Remedial work carries the same 12-month guarantee as all our work.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned.
Will there be a smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Can tenants book the work?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure your landlord agrees.
What sealant do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We’ll tell you what we are using and why.
How long before the joint can be used?
That depends on the sealant used, so follow the cure time we give you when we finish.

What we do, step by step
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. For a village or hamlet like Milton Street, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- Surrounding tiles, trays and frames are protected first.
- Every layer of failed sealant is stripped out.
- We clean and degrease the joint and look for signs of movement or water.
- Once dry, a suitable sealant is applied and tooled.
- We give you the cure time and explain what caused the failure.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
