About our remedial sealant in Thorington Street
A joint that keeps letting you down needs more than another bead. It helps to have pictures when you ring 0345 464 0079 or email us, and say how long ago it was last done. If you’re dealing with thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles and mould trapped under a layer of silicone, we can help.
In a village or hamlet like Thorington Street, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

What the job involves on each surface
Over-sealed & botched joints
Previous removal attempts can leave scratches or gouges. We take care not to make it worse, and tell you about any damage we find.
Leaking trays & enclosures
A cracked tray, failed valve or leaking waste needs a different fix. We will tell you what we find.
What affects the quote in Thorington Street
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The product the joint needs
- Access and height
- When we can work, for business premises
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will talk you through it.
What to tell us for a quote
To make quoting easier, please include:
- Where the property is
- The rough size of the job
- If someone has resealed it before
- What’s wrong with the joints now
We don’t publish a price list, because every job is different. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To get started, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Leave it or put it right?
A joint that has failed twice will fail again unless the cause is dealt with. Taking time to find the cause, whether it’s movement, a leak or the wrong product, is what stops it happening again. In a small place like Thorington Street, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.

Questions from Thorington Street
Is there a guarantee on remedial sealant in Thorington Street?
All our work, in Thorington Street and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can you do remedial sealant in Thorington Street?
Yes, Thorington Street is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we will send you a clear quote.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we’ve been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
My shower still leaks after a reseal. Can you sort it?
Yes. All the sealant comes out, we find out why it failed, and the joint is resealed properly.
Which products do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will tell you what we’re using.
Can you take off two layers of silicone?
Yes. Stripping layered sealant takes longer than a normal reseal, but it’s what makes the new bead last.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We’ve worked for hotels, offices and other businesses.
How long before the joint can be used?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We’ll tell you how long to leave the joint.
Remedial sealant around Thorington Street
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Whether the job is in Thorington Street itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

What we do, step by step
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. Somewhere as small as Thorington Street, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- 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.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Clear the area around the work
