Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Mockbeggar
Some sealant jobs aren’t a simple reseal, because someone has already had a go. New sealant over old, smeared beads, unsuitable products and hidden mould all need stripping out before the joint can be done properly. Typical jobs include a second bead peeling off the first and leaks that keep coming back after resealing, on failed movement joints, shrunken worktop sealant and expansion joints.
Around Mockbeggar, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Common questions in Mockbeggar
Can you do remedial sealant in Mockbeggar?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Mockbeggar is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
I let a flat near Higham station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Is remedial work guaranteed?
Yes, with our 12-month guarantee. Where we have flagged another fault, it needs fixing for the joint to last.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Let us know what needs doing and where, plus pictures if you have them. We will ask anything else we need to know.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
How long does remedial resealing take?
Allow a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. We’ll give you a timescale when we quote.
Someone sealed over the old bead. Can you fix it?
Yes. We cut out all the layers and clean off the film, before resealing with a single bead.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Different products cure at different speeds, so please follow the time we give you.
What happens on the day
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we’re treating. The job usually takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out, and we explain the cure time before we leave. For a village or hamlet like Mockbeggar, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- Surrounding tiles, trays and frames are protected first.
- Every layer of failed sealant is stripped out.
- The joint is degreased and checked for movement and leaks.
- New sealant goes in once the joint is dry, and is tooled smooth.
- We give you the cure time and explain what caused the failure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

How we quote for remedial sealant
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- When we can work, for business premises
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The product the joint needs
- The number of rooms or windows
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Roughly how big the job is
- The address or postcode of the job
Need a quote? Please ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details. We will explain what we’d do and send you a clear quote before work begins.
Why deal with it now?
Mould under a bead can’t be reached by cleaning. Removal is the only way to get at it, and the joint treated and dried before resealing. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Mockbeggar, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Call for a quick quote and we will explain what it covers.
Why book with us
- One-year guarantee on every job
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- Homes, businesses and hotels
What we cannot put right
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A bath, tray or worktop that moves until it’s properly fixed
- Plumbing leaks behind walls or under trays
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacing)
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we seal
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Expansion joints
- Failed movement joints
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Botched or over-sealed joints
DIY versus a professional finish
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Run the fan after every shower
- Check trays and worktops do not move
- Don’t add new sealant on top of old
- Check ceilings under showers for marks
Leave the new joint to cure fully before it gets wet or moves: follow the cure time we give you.
Mould under a second layer of sealant keeps growing out of sight. By the time it shows through, the joint is well past saving.
