Riseden: your questions answered
Is Riseden in your area for remedial sealant?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Riseden is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Do you cover smaller places like Riseden?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is it messy?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status.
Can failed expansion joints be resealed?
Yes. The depth is set with backing so the sealant only bonds to the two sides, which lets it stretch.
Someone resealed my shower and it’s leaking again. Can you help?
Yes. We’ll take all the sealant out, look for why it failed and reseal it properly.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
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.
When something else is needed
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A tray or bath that is cracked
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think.
What we seal
- Expansion joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Failed movement joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
- Keep the room well ventilated
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
- Never seal over old silicone
Ventilation keeps mould away from the new bead: run the fan during and after showers, or open a window.
A split movement joint lets rain into walls and floors, and left long enough, the edges of the joint can crumble. Resealing while the edges are sound is simpler.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we start by going over the job with you. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. The work generally takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. Somewhere as small as Riseden, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We look at how the sealant has failed and check for movement or a leak path.
- Every layer of old sealant is cut and cleaned out.
- We clean the joint, treat any mould and let it dry.
- 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
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Advice
Surface by surface
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Mould can sit behind the silicone, not just in it. Once it’s all removed, the joint is treated.
Worktops & kitchens
Shrunken worktop sealant leaves a gap that lets water into the back edge. We strip it, degrease the joint and reseal in a colour to suit.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right 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.
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.

What else we do in Riseden
What remedial sealant looks like in Riseden
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
In and around Riseden, as anywhere, good remedial sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint. Homes close to Christ Church include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
