Common questions in Pitland Street
Do you cover Pitland Street for remedial sealant?
Yes, Pitland Street is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Is Pitland Street within the area you cover?
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 do several jobs on one visit?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We will give you the cure time for the product we used before we leave.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Pitland Street
A joint that keeps failing generally has a reason. A tray that moves, a worktop that isn’t fixed, the wrong sealant or water getting in elsewhere will defeat even a perfect bead. Finding that cause comes before any new sealant. We are often asked to deal with movement joints that have split or pulled away and gaps opening along the back of the worktop, on failed movement joints, leaking tray & enclosure joints and expansion joints.
Being in a small place like Pitland Street makes no difference to the job itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

How the job changes by surface
Over-sealed & botched joints
Every layer has to come out, and silicone residue is cleaned off the tiles too. Only a clean joint will take a new bead.
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Where mould keeps coming back, ventilation is normally part of the cause. We’ll reseal and tell you if extraction looks to be the issue.
Do you need remedial sealant in Pitland Street?
Joint depth matters. A bead bonded on three sides, or laid too thick, cannot flex, and tears at the first real movement. Backing sets the depth and stops that.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
- Beads that never stuck properly
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
Letting a property close to Gomshall station? Then a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Pitland Street
Letting agents and landlords in Pitland Street can book us as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we will quote.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
- Don’t wait for a small gap to become a leak
- Check trays and worktops don’t move
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
Give the new sealant its full cure time: follow the cure time we give you.
A split movement joint lets rain into walls and floors, and left long enough, the edges of the joint can crumble. A joint with sound edges is far easier to reseal.
Honest limits
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Movement from fittings that aren’t supported
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Expansion joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Failed movement joints
Can I do it myself?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.

How it works
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. Somewhere as small as Pitland Street, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We protect the surfaces around the joint.
- The botched or failed sealant is cut away completely.
- We clean and degrease the joint and look for signs of movement or water.
- Once dry, a suitable sealant is applied and tooled.
- You get the cure time and our view on why the joint failed.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Clear the area around the work
How to get a quote
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add photos by email if you can.
Advice
Remedial sealant around Pitland Street
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
Schools such as Belmont Prep School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. Homes close to St Mary The Virgins Church include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
