Shadoxhurst homes and their sealant
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.
If you look after a building such as John Wallis Academy, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. In the older streets around Church of St Peter and St Paul, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

Remedial sealant in Shadoxhurst
Decorators’ caulk in a shower, bathroom silicone on a window, a rigid filler in a movement joint will not last, however tidy it looks. We take it out and use a sealant made for that joint. We work on botched or over-sealed joints, shrunken worktop sealant and expansion joints, and people most often call us about black mould underneath the bead and a shower that leaks however often it’s resealed.
Homes around Shadoxhurst are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats. The work is the same as anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Why deal with it now?
Hidden water does the most damage: wet floors, stained ceilings and swollen worktops. Dealing with the joint now is a small job by comparison. In a small place like Shadoxhurst, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.

Your questions about remedial sealant in Shadoxhurst
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Ham Street station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Do you cover Shadoxhurst for remedial sealant?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Shadoxhurst is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing.
What should I tell you?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Can you remove sealant that’s been put over old sealant?
Yes. We cut out all the layers and clean off the film, before resealing with a single bead.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Cure times vary by product and the temperature. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Can you remove old sealant without damaging the bath?
Yes. Careful removal is most of a remedial job, particularly on softer surfaces like acrylic.
How long does the work take?
Longer than a simple reseal, because every layer has to come out. For most joints, it’s a few hours, and we confirm the time with your quote.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Shadoxhurst
For anyone letting property in or around Shadoxhurst, jobs at different addresses can be quoted together. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
DIY versus a professional finish
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
What happens on the day
Once we’re on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. Somewhere as small as Shadoxhurst, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We look at how the sealant has failed and check for movement or a leak path.
- We strip the joint completely, removing any layers below.
- We clean the joint, treat any mould and let it dry.
- We use the right backing and sealant for any joint that moves.
- Finally we finish the joint and talk you through what we found.
Getting ready for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Advice
What we’re called out for in Shadoxhurst
Silicone only bonds to surfaces that are clean and dry. Soap film, dust, damp or old residue stop it gripping, and the joint starts to come away early.
People generally contact us after spotting something like this:
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
- Beads that never stuck properly
Rented homes near Ham Street station change hands often, and botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.
Questions to ask before you book
- How much experience the applicator has
- Which colour the sealant will be
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- What the cure time is

What else we do in Shadoxhurst
What we can’t put right
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
Where we work in Shadoxhurst
- Failed movement joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Expansion joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Do not wait for a small gap to become a leak
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
Keep the room ventilated: use the extractor or open a window after showering.
Mould trapped under over-sealed joints spreads unseen. When it finally shows, the whole bead needs to come out.
