Remedial sealant in Perrywood
A movement joint stops working when its sealant splits or sets hard. We cut out the failed sealant and set the depth with backing, then a flexible sealant matched to the movement goes in. We work on mouldy bath & shower sealant, failed movement joints and expansion joints, and common reasons people get in touch are wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones and leaks that keep coming back after resealing.
Around Perrywood, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. The work is the same as anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

What affects the cost of remedial sealant
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The product the joint needs
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Any mould that needs treating
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.
Helping us quote
To make quoting easier, please include:
- How we’d reach the joints
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Where the property is
- Roughly how big the job is

Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
- Act on a lifting corner straight away
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
If the joint ever needs renewing, have it cut out, not sealed over. New silicone doesn’t bond to old.
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. Any of them means it’s time for remedial work.
The process
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. Somewhere like Perrywood needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We start by checking the joint for movement, leaks and the reason it failed.
- We strip the joint completely, removing any layers below.
- The joint is cleaned, treated for mould and left to dry.
- We use the right backing and sealant for any joint that moves.
- The new joint is tooled neatly and we explain anything else we found.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Clear the area around the work
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Advice
What we cannot put right
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A tray or bath that’s cracked
- A tray or worktop that needs refixing first
- Water damage behind tiles that needs a tiler
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Expansion joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Failed movement joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
Leave it or put it right?
A failed seal rarely means a new bathroom. If the bath, tray and tiles are sound, remedial resealing normally puts it right. Where something else has failed, you will hear it from us. Older cottages and farmhouses around Perrywood can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

DIY versus a professional finish
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
Signs you need remedial sealant in Perrywood
Sealant needs a clean, dry surface with no grease on it. Soap film, dust, damp or old residue stop it gripping, so it starts lifting sooner than it should.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
- A second bead peeling off the first
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
If you look after a building such as Selling Church of England Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

Perrywood homes and their sealant
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you let a flat or house near Selling station, failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak. In the older streets around Church of St Mary, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Do you cover smaller places like Perrywood?
Yes, Perrywood is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Tell us what needs doing and where, with photos by email if possible. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Do the sealants smell?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, we can. More than one area can be quoted together.
Someone sealed over the old bead. Can you fix it?
Yes. Both layers come out; new silicone doesn’t bond to old silicone, which is why over-sealing fails.
