Remedial sealant in Swanley, done properly
The wrong product in the wrong joint won’t last, however tidy it looks. Out it comes, and in goes a sealant suited to the job. Typical jobs include decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower and mould trapped under a layer of silicone, on expansion joints, leaking tray & enclosure joints and mouldy bath & shower sealant.
Around Swanley, you’ll mostly find houses and bungalows, some older and some much newer. Bathrooms and kitchens here get the same daily wear as anywhere, and the sealant and grout show it first.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

When something else is needed
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Older mastics that may need an asbestos check before removal
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A bath, tray or worktop that moves until it’s properly fixed
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Failed movement joints
- Expansion joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant

- Botched or over-sealed joints
What we do, step by step
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The work itself takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out from start to finish. For a job in Swanley, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- The failure is looked at first, so we know whether it’s sealant, movement or water from elsewhere.
- Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off.
- Mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- The joint is tooled and you’re told about anything else we found.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Advice
What else we do in Swanley
Common problems we fix in Swanley
Some joints fail because water is reaching them from behind. A slow leak behind the tiles soaks the joint from the back, so the silicone goes mouldy or lets go.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
For landlords with property near Swanley station, botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.
What to look for in a quote
- What insurance they hold
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- Is VAT in the price?
- What happens if the job turns out different
Why it’s worth doing now in Swanley
Mould under a bead can’t be reached by cleaning. Removal is the only way to get at it, so the joint can be treated and resealed. Homes in smaller places like Swanley can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.

Remedial sealant around Swanley
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
For an older house near a landmark such as St Mary the Virgin, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. If you look after a building such as St Bartholomew's Catholic Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses

If you manage several properties in or around Swanley, jobs at different addresses can be quoted together. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Clean sealant with mild products only
- Do not add new sealant on top of old
- Act on a lifting corner right away
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
Watch the joint over the first few weeks, particularly where the original failure was caused by movement. If anything changes, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Don’t keep resealing the same joint. Get the cause found first, otherwise the next attempt will fail too.
Questions from Swanley
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Swanley station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Can you do remedial sealant in Swanley?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Swanley is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
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 fix a reseal that hasn’t worked?
Yes. There’s generally a reason: sealant over sealant, movement or another leak, and we deal with the cause first.
Can you remove old sealant without damaging the bath?
Yes. We take our time over removal, particularly on softer surfaces like acrylic.
What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
