About our remedial sealant in Neames Forstal
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. Common call-outs are for leaks that keep coming back after resealing and over-sealed joints coming away, on shrunken worktop sealant, expansion joints and failed movement joints.
For a small place like Neames Forstal, remedial sealant is planned like any other job: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after we’ve gone.

Leave it or put it right?
Leaks that are left keep doing damage out of sight: wet floors, stained ceilings and swollen worktops. By comparison, sorting the joint is quick. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Neames Forstal, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.

Common problems we fix in Neames Forstal
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.
The problems people usually mention when they call include:
- Over-sealed joints coming away
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
For landlords with property near Selling station, a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.
Questions to ask before you book
- Who turns up on the day
- Which colour the sealant will be
- How hidden problems are handled
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
Neames Forstal homes and their sealant
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Selling Church of England Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

What affects the cost of remedial sealant
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- When we can work, for business premises
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The product the joint needs
- How easy the joints are to reach
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What to tell us for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- The address or postcode of the job
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- Whether it has been sealed before
- The type of property

What we do, step by step
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. In a small place like Neames Forstal, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First we find out how and where the joint has failed.
- We strip the joint completely, removing any layers below.
- The joint is cleaned, treated for mould and left to dry.
- Moving joints get backing and a flexible sealant to suit.
- We tool the joint and tell you about anything else that needs attention.
Before we arrive
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Neames Forstal questions
Can you do remedial sealant in Neames Forstal?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Neames Forstal is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Is Neames Forstal within the area you cover?
Yes. Neames Forstal is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Does someone need to be in?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
What if resealing won’t fix my leak?
In that case, we tell you what we have found. You may need a plumber or bathroom fitter.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
Ventilation keeps mould away from the new bead: use the extractor or open a window after showering.
Leaks through failed sealant grow over time. Every shower or downpour sends more water through, into floors, walls or ceilings. Sorting it early limits the damage.
