North Holmwood homes and their sealant
There are hotels and other places to stay in and around North Holmwood. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room. Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
If you look after a building such as St John's Church of England Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. Rented homes near Dorking West station change hands often, and failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.

How we handle remedial sealant in North Holmwood
Movement and expansion joints fail when the sealant cannot stretch. The old sealant comes out and backing goes in to control the depth, before resealing with a flexible product suited to the movement. We work on leaking tray & enclosure joints, failed movement joints and expansion joints, and common reasons people get in touch are leaks that keep coming back after resealing and sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface.
Around North Holmwood, you will mostly find houses and bungalows, some older and some much newer. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do in a big town.

Can I do it myself?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
How the visit works
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. In a smaller place like North Holmwood, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- First we find out how and where the joint has failed.
- All the old sealant comes out, including any layers underneath.
- The joint is cleaned, treated for mould and left to dry.
- We use the right backing and sealant for any joint that moves.
- We tool the joint and tell you about anything else that needs attention.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Clear the area around the work
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

What the job involves on each surface
Leaking trays & enclosures
When failed joints are the cause, they’re all cut out and renewed, including the screen profile and tray edges.
Movement & expansion joints
Bonding on three sides is a common reason movement joints tear. Backing stops that, letting the sealant flex between the two faces.
When something else is needed
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Failed tanking or loose tiles behind the sealant
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacing)
- Movement from fittings that aren’t supported
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Expansion joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Failed movement joints
Common problems we fix in North Holmwood
Water from somewhere else can ruin a good seal. A slow leak behind the tiles soaks the joint from the back, so the silicone goes mouldy or lets go.
People normally contact us after spotting something like this:
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
- A second bead peeling off the first
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
In the older streets around Church of St John the Evangelist, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

North Holmwood questions
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Dorking West station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders, and several properties can go on one quote. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Will you come out to North Holmwood?
Yes, North Holmwood is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do the sealants smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, we can. More than one area can be quoted together.
Should I try DIY first?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
My shower still leaks after a reseal. Can you sort it?
Yes. Repeat leaks normally come from over-sealing, movement or water getting in elsewhere, and we deal with the cause first.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, and for outside work we will agree access with you when we book.
How much does remedial sealant cost in North Holmwood?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. For a quick quote, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing and where.
What happens if it’s left?
Remedial work takes longer than a straight reseal, but rarely a lot: it 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. Homes in smaller places like North Holmwood can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
Combining jobs into one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We will send you a clear quote for the lot.
