Steward's Green: your questions answered
Do you work in hotels near Steward's Green?
Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
Do you cover smaller places like Steward's Green?
Yes, Steward's Green is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do the sealants smell?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
What should I tell you?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Can you remove sealant that is been put over old sealant?
Yes. Both layers come out; over-sealing fails because silicone will not bond to silicone.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
We’ll suggest a colour to suit the surroundings. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Which products do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
How we handle remedial sealant in Steward's Green
Remedial work is what we do when sealant has failed or been done badly. New sealant over old, smeared beads, unsuitable products and hidden mould all have to come out. Typical jobs include beads that never stuck properly and wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones, across botched or over-sealed joints, mouldy bath & shower sealant and leaking tray & enclosure joints.
For a small place like Steward's Green, remedial sealant is planned like any other job: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. Once we are there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
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.

What sealant work can’t fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Movement from fittings that aren’t supported
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacing)
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Expansion joints
Common problems we fix in Steward's Green
A lot of failed joints have been sealed over rather than replaced. New silicone can’t stick to the old bead, so the new layer peels, and damp and mould settle between them.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
In the older streets around Church of St John the Baptist, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
What your quote should include
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- What insurance they hold
- What guarantee comes with the work
How the visit works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we don’t rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. In a small place like Steward's Green, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We look at how the sealant has failed and check for movement or a leak path.
- All the old sealant comes out, including any layers underneath.
- We clean the joint, treat any mould and let it dry.
- Moving joints get backing and a flexible sealant to suit.
- We tool the joint and tell you about anything else that needs attention.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention any tricky access
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

What remedial sealant looks like in Steward's Green
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Steward's Green. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room.
Schools such as Ivy Chimneys Primary School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

Why deal with it now?
Spraying mould remover on a sealed-over joint doesn’t reach what’s underneath. Removal is the only way to get at it. In a small place like Steward's Green, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Combining jobs into one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits. We’ll give you a clear price for the lot.

What else we do in Steward's Green
Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
What affects the quote in Steward's Green
You will get a clear quote before work begins. It’s based on:
- How many areas need sealing
- The number and length of the joints
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The old material and how stubborn it is
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- How we’d reach the joints
- The address or postcode of the job
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- If someone has resealed it before
For a quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us where the job is and what the problem looks like. We’ll give you a clear quote before any work starts.
