Old Heathfield Remedial Sealant

DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
About our remedial sealant in Old Heathfield
Remedial work is what we do when sealant has failed or been done badly. Silicone laid over silicone, smears across tiles, the wrong product in a moving joint or mould trapped underneath all have to come out before the joint can be done properly. If you have sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface and over-sealed joints coming away, we can help, on leaking tray & enclosure joints, mouldy bath & shower sealant and botched or over-sealed joints alike.
Homes around Old Heathfield are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats. The work is the same as anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
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.

What happens if it’s left?
Another bead over the top will not fix a failed joint. It can’t bond to what’s underneath, so the leak carries on and there’s now more to remove. Older cottages and farmhouses around Old Heathfield can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.

Old Heathfield 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.
In the older streets around The Parish Church of All Saints, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. Managing a site like Heathfield Community College? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

What the job involves on each surface
Over-sealed & botched joints
A botched joint can hide two or three layers of sealant, and silicone residue is cleaned off the tiles too. Only a clean joint will take a new bead.
Leaking trays & enclosures
If the tray is cracked, or the leak is from the valve or waste, sealant won’t fix it. We’ll tell you what we find.
How we quote for remedial sealant
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The number and length of the joints
- How easy the joints are to reach
Combining jobs into one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We’ll give you a clear price for the lot.
What to tell us for a quote
You do not need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- The problem you’ve noticed
- The type of property
- Where the job is, and your postcode

Questions from Old Heathfield
Will you come out to Old Heathfield?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you cover Old Heathfield for remedial sealant?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Old Heathfield is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Can you remove old sealant without damaging the bath?
Yes. The old bead is cut and lifted with tools that suit the surface, then clean off the residue. Any existing damage is pointed out before any work starts.
Is it messy?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints.
Can you remove sealant that’s been put over old sealant?
Yes. Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off, then the joint is resealed once.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is generally more efficient.
Someone resealed my shower and it’s leaking again. Can you help?
Yes. First we check whether the leak is the sealant at all, then strip and reseal the joints.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
When it isn’t the sealant
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Movement from fittings that aren’t supported
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Water damage behind tiles that needs a tiler
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

How it works
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. Somewhere as small as Old Heathfield, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- The failure is looked at first, so we know whether it’s sealant, movement or water from elsewhere.
- Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off.
- Mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The right product goes in, with backing where the joint moves.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention any tricky access
- Clear the area around the work
