Remedial sealant & repairs in Peaks Hill, Greater London
Our applicators work in Peaks Hill on removing failed, mouldy or leaking sealant and putting it right. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly and a one-year guarantee.
- Torn expansion joints
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
How we handle remedial sealant in Peaks Hill
Some sealant jobs aren’t a simple reseal, because someone has already had a go. 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. We work on mouldy bath & shower sealant, expansion joints and shrunken worktop sealant, and common reasons people get in touch are products that weren’t meant for the joint and wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones.
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.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

The process
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. For a job in Peaks Hill, 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.
- Every layer of failed sealant is stripped out.
- The joint is degreased and checked for movement and leaks.
- New sealant goes in once the joint is dry, and is tooled smooth.
- You get the cure time and our view on why the joint failed.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Related advice
Do you need remedial sealant in Peaks Hill?
All sealant wears out eventually. Mould grows into the silicone, the surface hardens and the bead shrinks. At that point it has to come out.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Over-sealed joints coming away
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
Rented homes near Purley station change hands often, and botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.
Before booking anyone
- How much experience the applicator has
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- Are they insured?
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
Honest limits
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A bath, tray or worktop that moves until it’s properly fixed
- Water damage behind tiles that needs a tiler
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Failed movement joints
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Expansion joints
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
- Deal with small splits early
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
Keep an eye on the joint at first, particularly where the original failure was caused by movement. If anything changes, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Mould under a second layer of sealant keeps growing out of sight. When it finally shows, the whole bead needs to come out.
Peaks Hill questions
Do you work in hotels near Peaks Hill?
Yes, we work for hotels as well as homes and businesses. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Is parking a problem for a job in Peaks Hill?
Parking in Peaks Hill, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day run more smoothly, so mention what’s available when you book.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we’re fully insured too.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few pictures.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Can old silicone be taken off without scratching the tiles?
Yes, with care. The old bead is cut and lifted with tools that suit the surface, and the residue is cleaned away. Any existing damage is pointed out before we start.
Do the sealants smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.

Yes. We cover Peaks Hill and the rest of Greater London, as part of our work across South East England, London and Scotland. To book, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Remedial sealant in Peaks Hill: local notes
London has a lot of flats and conversions, and a failed shower or bath seal in one can show up on the ceiling below, so tired sealant is best dealt with early. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Peaks Hill. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room.
If you look after a building such as Coloma Convent Girls' School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. As a London address, Peaks Hill can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

Leave it or put it right?
DIY removal often leaves scratches and a film of residue, and any film left behind stops new sealant sticking. Careful removal is most of a remedial job. 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 Peaks Hill, the repair is bigger than the sealant job would have been.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you’re unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
