Pilgrims Hatch Remedial Sealant
We cover Pilgrims Hatch for removing failed, mouldy or leaking sealant and putting it right. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly.
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
How we handle remedial sealant in Pilgrims Hatch
If a joint fails again and again, something is causing it. Movement, the wrong product or a leak from somewhere else will defeat even a perfect bead. We look for the cause before we reseal. We work on shrunken worktop sealant, botched or over-sealed joints and mouldy bath & shower sealant, and people most often call us about movement joints that have split or pulled away and sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface.
In a smaller place like Pilgrims Hatch, homes are mostly houses and bungalows rather than flats, from older cottages to newer builds. Bathrooms and kitchens here get the same daily wear as anywhere, and the sealant and grout show it first.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Remedial sealant in Pilgrims Hatch: local notes
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.
Rented homes near Brentwood station change hands often, and a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty. For an older house near a landmark such as Saint George's church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. Schools such as Larchwood Primary School are buildings too, and washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.

Your questions about remedial sealant in Pilgrims Hatch
Will you come out to Pilgrims Hatch?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Brentwood station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned.
Is remedial work guaranteed?
Yes. Remedial work carries the same 12-month guarantee as all our work.
How long does remedial resealing take?
That depends on how many layers there are and how many joints. You’ll have a timescale before any work begins.
Where are you based?
We’re a Crawley-based firm. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Do I have to be there?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
How long should I leave it?
It depends on the product and the temperature. Before we leave, we will tell you the cure time.
Why act early in Pilgrims Hatch
Adding more sealant is the usual quick fix, and it rarely works. It cannot bond to what’s underneath, so the leak carries on and there’s now more to remove. In a smaller place like Pilgrims Hatch, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
Doing several joints on one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Deal with small splits early
- Keep the room well ventilated
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
- Check ceilings under showers for marks
Keep an eye on the joint at first, particularly where the original failure was caused by movement. Should anything change, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Warning signs: peeling layers, mould showing through the bead, leaks after showering or cracks in a movement joint. Each one is worth getting looked at.
The process
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. In a smaller place like Pilgrims Hatch, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- We protect the surfaces around the joint.
- Every layer of failed sealant is stripped out.
- We clean and degrease the joint and look for signs of movement or water.
- New sealant goes in once the joint is dry, and is tooled smooth.
- We give you the cure time and explain what caused the failure.
Before we arrive
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Pilgrims Hatch
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too. We can quote a run of properties together, and we are fully insured.
