About our remedial sealant in Sheepdrove
A joint that keeps failing generally has a reason. Movement, the wrong product or a leak from somewhere else will defeat even a perfect bead. Finding that cause comes before any new sealant. Typical jobs include gaps opening along the back of the worktop and mould trapped under a layer of silicone, on expansion joints, failed movement joints and leaking tray & enclosure joints.
In a village or hamlet like Sheepdrove, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Sheepdrove and everywhere else we cover.

Landlord and commercial work in Sheepdrove
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. Several properties can go on one quote.
DIY versus a professional finish
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
What affects the quote in Sheepdrove
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:
- The number of rooms or windows
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Access and height
- The type of sealant required
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- The type of property
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- A few pictures by email, if you can
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is.

How the visit works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you. The work normally takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere as small as Sheepdrove, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start by checking the joint for movement, leaks and the reason it failed.
- We strip the joint completely, removing any layers below.
- Next, any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- Moving joints get backing and a flexible sealant to suit.
- 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
- Mention any tricky access
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Remedial sealant in Sheepdrove: local notes
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.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Michael and All Angels, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

Signs you need remedial sealant in Sheepdrove
A lot of failed joints have been sealed over rather than replaced. New silicone cannot stick to the old bead, so the new layer peels, and damp and mould settle between them.
People usually contact us when they notice one of these:
- Torn expansion joints
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
In and around Sheepdrove, as anywhere, good remedial sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Surface by surface
Worktops & kitchens
Old kitchen sealant pulls back from the wall over time. We strip it, degrease the joint and reseal colour-matched to the worktop.
Over-sealed & botched joints
Every layer has to come out, and silicone residue is cleaned off the tiles too. Only a clean joint will take a new bead.
Your questions about remedial sealant in Sheepdrove
Is remedial sealant in Sheepdrove guaranteed?
All our work, in Sheepdrove and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can you do remedial sealant in Sheepdrove?
Yes, Sheepdrove is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
How long should I leave it?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We’ll give you the cure time for the product we used before we leave.
What does remedial sealant cost?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
How long will it take to strip and reseal the joint?
It takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. We’ll give you a timescale when we quote.
Can you reseal a split movement joint?
Yes. If a joint has been filled with mortar or rigid filler, we rake it out where possible, then the joint is sealed properly.
