Leave it or put it right?
Stripping out botched sealant adds time to a reseal, but not by much: the work takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. Compared with chasing the same leak every few months, it’s time well spent. Damp from a failed joint spreads quietly in older London brickwork and timber, and by the time it shows on a wall or ceiling in North Cray, the repair is bigger than the sealant job would have been.
Doing several joints on one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We will give you a clear quote for the lot.

How we handle remedial sealant in North Cray
A joint that keeps letting you down needs more than another bead. It helps to have photos when you call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email. If you’re dealing with wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones and products that weren’t meant for the joint, we can help, on mouldy bath & shower sealant, shrunken worktop sealant and botched or over-sealed joints alike.
Much of London’s older housing is Victorian and Edwardian terraces, many of them now split into flats, with bathrooms fitted into whatever space was available. A compact bathroom that steams up every day is hard on silicone and grout.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Deal with small splits early
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
If the joint ever needs renewing, have it cut out, not sealed over. Over-sealing is how many remedial jobs start.
Signs to act on: sealant lifting at the ends, a second bead visible on top of the first, black mould under the silicone, or stains below a bathroom. Each one is worth getting looked at.
Common problems we fix in North Cray
One of the commonest remedial jobs is sealant on top of sealant. New silicone can’t stick to the old bead, so the new layer peels, and damp and mould settle between them.
People generally contact us after spotting something like this:
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
- Torn expansion joints
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
In the older streets around Parish Church of St James, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

The process
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. For a job in North Cray, parking and access are the things to plan: let us know about parking, the floor we’ll be working on and any lift or shared entrance.
- Surrounding tiles, trays and frames are protected first.
- The botched or failed sealant is cut away completely.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Common questions in North Cray
Do you work for landlords with property near Albany Park station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Can parking be tricky for a visit in North Cray?
It can be, so it helps to tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. That way the visit can be planned around it.

The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few pictures.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us.
Can failed expansion joints be resealed?
Yes. Backing sets the depth and stops the sealant sticking to the back, which lets it stretch.

That’s why we look for the cause first. If we find the leak is elsewhere, we tell you before going further.
Do you come to North Cray?
Yes, we do. Our applicators work in North Cray.

We’re a Crawley-based firm. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
North Cray homes and their sealant
London has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and taps, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in. 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.
As a London address, North Cray can be tricky for parking: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. Schools such as Royal Park Primary Academy are buildings too, and 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.
