Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Northease
Getting old sealant out properly is slow, careful work. We cut out every layer, clear the residue and degrease the surfaces, taking care not to scratch the surfaces around it. Only then can new sealant bond. We work on mouldy bath & shower sealant, failed movement joints and expansion joints, and people most often call us about a shower that leaks however often it’s resealed and sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface.
Being in a small place like Northease makes no difference to the job itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Common questions in Northease
Do you work for landlords with property near Southease station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders, and several properties can go on one quote. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Can you do remedial sealant in Northease?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Northease is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Just list everything you need and you’ll get one quote.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
What if the leak is not the sealant?
We check for that before we reseal. If we find the leak is elsewhere, we tell you before going further.
Can I do it myself?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Does someone need to be in?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that generally means someone at home.
How long does remedial resealing take?
It takes 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.

Common problems we fix in Northease
Some joints fail because water is reaching them from behind. A slow leak behind the tiles soaks the joint from the back, so the silicone goes mouldy or lets go.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
- A second bead peeling off the first
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
For landlords with property near Southease station, failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.

How the visit works
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before we start. Most jobs take a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. For a village or hamlet like Northease, 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.
- We look at how the sealant has failed and check for movement or a leak path.
- Every layer of old sealant is cut and cleaned out.
- Next, any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- Moving joints get backing and a flexible sealant to suit.
- Finally we finish the joint and talk you through what we found.
Preparing for the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Clear the area around the work
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

What affects the quote in Northease
We do not publish a price list. The quote depends on:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The old material and how stubborn it is
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
What we need to know
To make quoting easier, please include:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- A few photos by email, if you can
- Where the property is
- Whether it’s a home or a business
Need a quote? Please phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details. You will know what we plan to do, and what it will cost, before any work begins.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Act on a lifting corner straight away
- Check ceilings under showers for marks
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
- Run the fan after every shower
Clean gently: a mild cleaner and a soft cloth, with no blades or scourers.
Leaks through failed sealant grow over time. Each use pushes more water behind the bead, into floors, walls or ceilings. Early action keeps it to a sealant job.
Remedial sealant around Northease
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.
In the older streets around St Peter's Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. Managing a site like Priory School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Can I do it myself?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
How the job changes by surface
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Repeat mould usually points to a damp, poorly aired room. Along with resealing, we’ll mention if the room needs better ventilation.
Over-sealed & botched joints
Botched joints sometimes have damaged edges from earlier scraping. We take care not to make it worse, and point out any existing damage.
