Remedial sealant in Selsdon, done properly
A joint that keeps letting you down needs more than another bead. Send photos when you ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email. We work on failed movement joints, leaking tray & enclosure joints and shrunken worktop sealant, and the jobs we see most are floor or wall movement joints that have failed and smears and lumps from a botched reseal.
Around Selsdon, you will mostly find houses and bungalows, from older cottages to newer builds. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do in a big town.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

Selsdon: your questions answered
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Sanderstead station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can be quoted together. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Can you do remedial sealant in Selsdon?
Yes, Selsdon is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Can you remove sealant that’s been put over old sealant?
Yes. Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off, then the joint is resealed once.
Will it make a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Do you fix expansion and movement joints?
Yes. Where mortar or filler has been used instead of sealant, it’s removed where it can be, and reseal with a flexible product.
How much does remedial sealant cost in Selsdon?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing and where.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes, regularly. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.
What the job involves on each surface
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Mould often spreads under the bead as well as through it. Once it’s all removed, the joint is treated.
Movement & expansion joints
A movement joint must be able to stretch. We remove the failed sealant, fit backing and reseal.
DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.

What happens if it’s left?
Spraying mould remover on a sealed-over joint does not reach what’s underneath. The layers have to come out, so the joint can be treated and resealed. Around Selsdon, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before any work starts.

What remedial sealant looks like in Selsdon
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
For an older house near a landmark such as St Francis, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. Schools such as Selsdon Primary and Nursery School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

What we are called out for in Selsdon
All sealant wears out eventually. Mould grows into the silicone, the surface hardens and the bead shrinks, faster where ventilation is poor. Then the only fix is removal and a new bead.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
- Over-sealed joints coming away
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
For landlords with property near Sanderstead station, a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.

How it works
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, protect the area around them, do the work and clear up. Most jobs take a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. A visit to Selsdon is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.
- Mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The right product goes in, with backing where the joint moves.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
