About our remedial sealant in Sheldwich Lees
A joint that keeps letting you down needs more than another bead. It helps to have photos when you phone 0345 464 0079 or email us, along with when it was last resealed. Common call-outs are for over-sealed joints coming away and beads that never stuck properly, across expansion joints, leaking tray & enclosure joints and failed movement joints.
In a village or hamlet like Sheldwich Lees, 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.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Questions from Sheldwich Lees
Is Sheldwich Lees in your area for remedial sealant?
Yes, Sheldwich Lees is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Will you come out to Sheldwich Lees?
Yes, Sheldwich Lees is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
Do you guarantee remedial jobs?
Yes. Remedial work carries the same 12-month guarantee as all our work.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
What if resealing won’t fix my leak?
We check for that before we reseal. If the fault is elsewhere, you’ll know before any work is done.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Usually, yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours, and we’ll agree it with you first.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
What the job involves on each surface
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Repeat mould normally points to a damp, poorly aired room. We’ll reseal and tell you if extraction looks to be the issue.
Leaking trays & enclosures
If the tray is cracked, or the leak is from the valve or waste, sealant won’t fix it. We say so rather than reseal.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Check ceilings under showers for marks
- Deal with small splits early
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
Keep the room ventilated: run the fan during and after showers, or open a window.
Movement joints that have split let water into the structure, and the longer it’s left, the more the joint edges break down. A joint with sound edges is far easier to reseal.
The process
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and tidy away. Most jobs take a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. In a small place like Sheldwich Lees, access is generally the main thing to plan. 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.
- Where the joint moves, backing and a flexible sealant suited to the movement go in.
- We tool the joint and tell you about anything else that needs attention.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Tell us about any water getting in

Advice
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
What remedial sealant looks like in Sheldwich Lees
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
Letting a property close to Selling station? Then a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty. If you look after a building such as Sheldwich Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Common problems we fix in Sheldwich Lees
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.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Over-sealed joints coming away
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
- Torn expansion joints
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St James, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
Before you book anyone
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- What guarantee comes with the work
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
