Remedial sealant in South Earlswood, done properly
A movement joint stops working when its sealant splits or sets hard. We cut out the failed sealant and set the depth with backing, before resealing with a flexible product suited to the movement. We work on botched or over-sealed joints, shrunken worktop sealant and expansion joints, and people most often call us about wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones and beads that never stuck properly.
Somewhere as small as South Earlswood, 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.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What happens on the day
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. Somewhere like South Earlswood needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First we find out how and where the joint has failed.
- All the old sealant comes out, including any layers underneath.
- We clean the joint, treat any mould and let it dry.
- 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
- Clear the area around the work
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

When it is not the sealant
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- A tray or bath that’s cracked
- A leaking trap, valve or supply pipe
- Failed tanking or loose tiles behind the sealant
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Expansion joints
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Failed movement joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
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.
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
What the job involves on each surface
Over-sealed & botched joints
A botched joint can hide two or three layers of sealant, including the smears and film on surrounding tiles. New sealant needs a fully clean surface.
Windows & doors
Smeared or badly matched mastic can be cut out and redone neatly, in a colour that suits the frame.
What we are called out for in South Earlswood
Joints that move need sealant that can stretch. Flexing baths, rocking trays and building movement joints split any bead that is too stiff or too thin.
People generally contact us after spotting one of these:
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
- Beads that never stuck properly
- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
Letting a property close to Earlswood (Surrey) station? Then a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.

- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
- Deal with small splits early
- Never seal over old silicone
Keep an eye on the joint at first, particularly where the original failure was caused by movement. If anything changes, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
If a joint has failed more than once, stop resealing it. Get the cause found first, or the next bead will go the same way.
Your questions about remedial sealant in South Earlswood
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Earlswood (Surrey) station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Do you cover South Earlswood for remedial sealant?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and South Earlswood is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We can plan bigger jobs in stages to suit the site.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Generally, yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available for many products, and we’ll agree it with you first.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Can you remove sealant that is been put over old sealant?
Yes. We remove every layer; new silicone doesn’t bond to old silicone, which is why over-sealing fails.
How long before the joint can be used?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We will give you the cure time for the product we used before we leave.

South Earlswood homes and their sealant
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you live in an older home near Christ the King, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. If you look after a building such as Salfords Primary School, washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.
