About our remedial sealant in Scragged Oak

Being in a small place like Scragged Oak makes no difference to the job itself: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.

What happens if it’s left?
It’s easy to scratch acrylic, enamel or an uPVC frame cutting out old sealant, and any film left behind stops new sealant sticking. Careful removal is most of a remedial job. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Scragged Oak, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear quote before any work starts.

Scragged Oak: your questions answered

Yes, Scragged Oak is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you cover Scragged Oak for remedial sealant?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Scragged Oak is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Can you reseal a split movement joint?
Yes. Where mortar or filler has been used instead of sealant, it’s removed where it can be, and reseal with a flexible product.
Is it messy?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Do the sealants smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will explain our choice.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.

A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
- Find out why the sealant failed first
- Keep the room well ventilated
- Act on a lifting corner right away
Go easy on the new sealant: no scraping, scouring pads or harsh chemicals.
Don’t keep resealing the same joint. Have someone find out why, or the next bead will go the same way.
When something else is needed
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Water damage behind tiles that needs a tiler
- A tray or bath that is cracked

Advice
Common problems we fix in Scragged Oak
Even good sealant ages. Over the years it shrinks, hardens and gets colonised by mould. Then the only fix is removal and a new bead.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
In the older streets around Church of St Peter, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
