About our remedial sealant in Pratling Street
A movement joint stops working when its sealant splits or sets hard. We cut out the failed sealant and set the depth with backing, before resealing with a flexible product suited to the movement. We work on leaking tray & enclosure joints, botched or over-sealed joints and expansion joints, and people most often call us about gaps opening along the back of the worktop and caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area.
Around Pratling Street, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats. The work is the same as anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee.

Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
- Keep the room well ventilated
- Check trays and worktops do not move
- Find out why the sealant failed first
Where we’ve pointed out another fault, have it put right, because the new sealant cannot hold back a problem underneath.
Do not keep resealing the same joint. Get the cause found first, or the next bead will go the same way.
How the job changes by surface
Windows & doors
Some leaks around windows come from the wall or the window itself. We check the joint and tell you if it looks to be something else.
Leaking trays & enclosures
Repeat shower leaks often come from a tray that flexes or an enclosure sealed in the wrong place. Both are checked before we reseal.
The process
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and clear up. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. Somewhere like Pratling Street needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We start by checking the joint for movement, leaks and the reason it failed.
- Every layer of old sealant is cut and cleaned out.
- Next, any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- Where the joint moves, backing and a flexible sealant suited to the movement go in.
- We tool the joint and tell you about anything else that needs attention.
Before we arrive
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Pratling Street homes and their sealant
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Peter's Church of England Primary School, 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. For landlords with property near Aylesford station, a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty. If you live in an older home near Methodist Church Including Sunday School, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

FAQs for Pratling Street
Is Pratling Street within the area you cover?
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.
Is Pratling Street in your area for remedial sealant?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Pratling Street is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
How long does the work take?
The number of joints and layers decides it. You will have a timescale before any work begins.
Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Ventilation helps.
What do you put in the joint?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We will tell you what we are using and why.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We’ve worked for hotels, offices and other businesses, and we’re fully insured.
What if resealing won’t fix my leak?
That’s why we look for the cause first. If we find the leak is elsewhere, we tell you before going further.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
What sealant work can’t fix
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- A bath, tray or worktop that moves until it’s properly fixed
- Plumbing leaks behind walls or under trays
- A tray or bath that is cracked
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
Where we work in Pratling Street

- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Failed movement joints
- Expansion joints

Leave it or put it right?
Adding more sealant is the usual quick fix, and it rarely works. It can’t bond to what’s underneath, leaving the leak in place and one more layer to cut out later. Older cottages and farmhouses around Pratling Street can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.
