Common questions in Pett Bottom
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Bekesbourne station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Pett Bottom?
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.
What do you put in the joint?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will explain our choice.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
How long will it take to strip and reseal the joint?
Allow a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. You will know the timing when we quote.
Does remedial work come with a guarantee?
Yes. You get our 12-month guarantee, and we are fully insured.
Can you remove sealant that is been put over old sealant?
Yes. We cut out all the layers and clean off the film, then the joint is resealed once.
What happens if the problem is the tray or the plumbing?
You’ll hear it from us. A cracked tray, faulty valve or leaking waste needs a different trade, so we will not pretend it will.
How the job changes by surface
Leaking trays & enclosures
A cracked tray, failed valve or leaking waste needs a different fix. We will tell you what we find.
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Mould often spreads under the bead as well as through it. We treat the exposed joint once the bead is out so the new sealant starts clean.
Do you need remedial sealant in Pett Bottom?
Products get mixed up: caulk where it gets wet, rigid sealant where things move, or an acetoxy silicone on a surface it can mark. Each fails in its own way.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
- Over-sealed joints coming away
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

- What the cure time is
- Is VAT in the price?
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
Can I do it myself?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into 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.

What we do, step by step
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The job generally takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. In a small place like Pett Bottom, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start by checking the joint for movement, leaks and the reason it failed.
- We strip the joint completely, removing any layers below.
- Next, any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- Moving joints get backing and a flexible sealant to suit.
- The new joint is tooled neatly and we explain anything else we found.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Mention any tricky access
- Clear the area around the work
Getting a quote
