What the job involves on each surface
Movement & expansion joints
Some movement joints have been filled with mortar or grout. We rake that out where it can be removed and seal with a flexible product.
Leaking trays & enclosures
When failed joints are the cause, they’re all cut out and renewed, including the screen profile and tray edges.
What we do, step by step
At the end, we look at the finished work together and tell you how long to leave it. The work normally takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out, depending on the amount of work. Somewhere like Runfold needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- Surrounding tiles, trays and frames are protected first.
- 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.
- We give you the cure time and explain what caused the failure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Advice
Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
- Clean sealant with mild products only
- Keep the room well ventilated
Ventilation keeps mould away from the new bead: use the extractor or open a window after showering.
A failing joint rarely gets better on its own. Each use pushes more water behind the bead, into whatever is behind or below. Sorting it early limits the damage.
When it is not the sealant
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacing)
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think.

Runfold questions
Can you do remedial sealant in Runfold?
Yes, Runfold is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Is Runfold within the area you cover?
Yes, Runfold is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Can you remove sealant that is been put over old sealant?
Yes. Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off, then the joint is resealed once.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and the location. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
Do the sealants smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
Is remedial work guaranteed?
Yes. Every job comes with our one-year guarantee.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
What remedial sealant looks like in Runfold
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.
Managing a site like South Farnham School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. Rented homes near Farnham station change hands often, and failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak. In the older streets around The Church of the Good Shepherd, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Around Runfold

Nearby you will also find Farnham Castle (2.2 miles west) and Museum of Farnham (2.2 miles west). Green spaces nearby include Culverswell Hill and Aunt's Pool.
Should I try it myself first?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
