- A second bead peeling off the first
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
Watch the joint over the first few weeks, especially if movement was the problem. Should anything change, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
A split movement joint lets rain into walls and floors, and the longer it’s left, the more the joint edges break down. Resealing while the edges are sound is simpler.
About our remedial sealant in Sidlow
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, before resealing with a flexible product suited to the movement. We are often asked to deal with sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted and smears and lumps from a botched reseal, on leaking tray & enclosure joints, expansion joints and botched or over-sealed joints.
Somewhere as small as Sidlow, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Sidlow: your questions answered
Can you do remedial sealant in Sidlow?
Yes, Sidlow is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you cover smaller places like Sidlow?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
What happens if the problem is the tray or the plumbing?
Then we explain what we’ve found. A plumber or fitter may be needed before any new sealant goes on.
How do I get a quote for remedial sealant in Sidlow?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Call for a quick quote.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Is there any odour?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
What we cannot put right
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacing)
- Older mastics that may need an asbestos check before removal
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Where we work in Sidlow
- Expansion joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Failed movement joints
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Sidlow homes and their sealant
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Homes close to Emmanuel Church include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. Schools such as Dovers Green School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Over-sealed joints coming away
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
Letting a property close to Salfords station? Then a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.

How the job changes by surface
Movement & expansion joints
A movement joint must be able to stretch. Failed sealant is cut out, backing rod or tape is fitted and the joint resealed.
Worktops & kitchens
Kitchen joints hold grease and residue, so we spend extra time cleaning.
What we do, step by step
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 how much there is to do. For a village or hamlet like Sidlow, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We look at how the sealant has failed and check for movement or a leak path.
- Every layer of old sealant is cut and cleaned out.
- Next, any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- Where the joint moves, backing and a flexible sealant suited to the movement go in.
- The new joint is tooled neatly and we explain anything else we found.
Getting ready for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

What affects the quote in Sidlow
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- The size of the job
- When we can work, for business premises

- Any mould that needs treating
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.

You don’t need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- Photos by email, if that is easy

- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- If someone has resealed it before
We don’t publish a price list. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To get started, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
