Remedial sealant in Soldridge, done properly
Removing failed sealant is the hardest part of the job. We cut out every layer, clear the residue and degrease the surfaces, without scratching tiles, trays or frames. New sealant only bonds to a clean, dry joint. If you are dealing with floor or wall movement joints that have failed and products that weren’t meant for the joint, we can put it right, on botched or over-sealed joints, expansion joints and mouldy bath & shower sealant alike.
Somewhere as small as Soldridge, 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.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

The process
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out in most cases. In a small place like Soldridge, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- The failure is looked at first, so we know whether it’s sealant, movement or water from elsewhere.
- Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.
- We treat any mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The right product goes in, with backing where the joint moves.
- The joint is tooled and you’re told about anything else we found.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Tell us about any water getting in

How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
- Do not wait for a small gap to become a leak
- Keep the room well ventilated
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
Go easy on the new sealant: a mild cleaner and a soft cloth, with no blades or scourers.
If a joint has failed more than once, stop resealing it. Have someone find out why, or the next bead will go the same way.
When to call us in Soldridge
Movement tears sealant that is not designed for it. A bath that flexes, a tray that rocks or a building joint that opens and closes split any bead that is too stiff or too thin.
The most common problems we see are:
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
- A second bead peeling off the first
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
Homes close to Church of the Good Shepherd include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

Soldridge questions
Is remedial sealant in Soldridge guaranteed?
All our work, in Soldridge and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Is Soldridge in your area for remedial sealant?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Soldridge is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing.
What information do you need?
A short description and the location, plus pictures if you have them. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Will it make a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected.
Do the sealants smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes, regularly. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area to suit the site.
Can you strip sealant from an acrylic tray safely?
Yes. We take our time over removal, especially on acrylic, enamel and uPVC.
Someone sealed over the old bead. Can you fix it?
Yes. Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off, then the joint is resealed once.
What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Failed tanking or loose tiles behind the sealant
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacing)
- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.

Landlord and commercial work in Soldridge
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
What happens if it’s left?
A failed seal rarely means a new bathroom. If the bath, tray and tiles are sound, remedial resealing generally puts it right. Where something else has failed, you’ll hear it from us. Around Soldridge, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.

Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
