How the job changes by surface
Worktops & kitchens
Old kitchen sealant pulls back from the wall over time. It’s cut out, degreased and resealed.
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Mould often spreads under the bead as well as through it. We treat the exposed joint once the bead is out.
Remedial sealant in Sibley's Green
A movement joint stops working when its sealant splits or sets hard. The old sealant comes out and backing goes in to control the depth, then a flexible sealant matched to the movement goes in. We work on botched or over-sealed joints, shrunken worktop sealant and expansion joints, and people most often call us about dark patches showing through the sealant and sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted.
Somewhere as small as Sibley's Green, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
Every job is covered by our 12-month guarantee.

How it works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it generally takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. Somewhere like Sibley's Green needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off.
- We treat any mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- The joint is tooled and you are told about anything else we found.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

What we’re called out for in Sibley's Green
Sealant needs a clean, dry surface with no grease on it. Residue, moisture or dust left in the joint weaken the bond, and the joint starts to come away early.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
- A second bead peeling off the first
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area

Sibley's Green questions
Can you do remedial sealant in Sibley's Green?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Sibley's Green is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Sibley's Green?
Yes. Sibley's Green is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
What if the leak isn’t the sealant?
We check for that before we reseal. If we find the leak is elsewhere, we tell you before going further.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us and we are fully insured.
Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.

What else we do in Sibley's Green
DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.

Why it’s worth doing now in Sibley's Green
Stripping out botched sealant adds time to a reseal, but rarely a lot: it takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. Compared with chasing the same leak every few months, it’s time well spent. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Sibley's Green, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.
