Remedial sealant in Throcking: local notes
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Freman College, 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.

About our remedial sealant in Throcking
Decorators’ caulk in a shower, bathroom silicone on a window, a rigid filler in a movement joint fails however neatly it’s applied. Out it comes, and in goes a sealant suited to the job. If you are dealing with over-sealed joints coming away and mould trapped under a layer of silicone, we can help, on expansion joints, botched or over-sealed joints and leaking tray & enclosure joints alike.
Being in a small place like Throcking makes no difference to the job itself: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.

Throcking questions
Is remedial sealant in Throcking guaranteed?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Is Throcking in your area for remedial sealant?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Throcking is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Someone resealed my shower and it’s leaking again. Can you help?
Yes. Repeat leaks usually come from over-sealing, movement or water getting in elsewhere, and we deal with the cause first.
Someone sealed over the old bead. Can you fix it?
Yes. We cut out all the layers and clean off the film, then the joint is resealed once.
Can I do it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
What sealant do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We will tell you what we are using and why.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Can you match the sealant colour?
In most cases you can choose. We will explain which colours are available.

Quotes for remedial sealant in Throcking
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- How many areas need sealing
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The type of sealant required
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Roughly how big the job is
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- The problem you’ve noticed
We quote each job on its own, so the first step is telling us about yours. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details, and pictures are welcome.
Different surfaces, different methods
Over-sealed & botched joints
Thick, smeared sealant looks messy and hides problems. Taking it back shows what’s underneath.
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Black mould inside the bead will not scrub out. All of it comes out, and the joint is treated and dried ahead of a new anti-fungal bead.
When it is not the sealant
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- A leaking trap, valve or supply pipe
- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacing)
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on

How the visit works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. Somewhere as small as Throcking, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We protect the surfaces around the joint.
- Every layer of failed sealant is stripped out.
- The joint is degreased and checked for movement and leaks.
- New sealant goes in once the joint is dry, and is tooled smooth.
- You get the cure time and our view on why the joint failed.
Preparing for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention any tricky access
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Advice
Do you need remedial sealant in Throcking?
Water from somewhere else can ruin a good seal. A slow leak behind the tiles soaks the joint from the back, and the sealant lifts or goes mouldy from underneath.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Over-sealed joints coming away
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
Homes close to Holy Trinity Church include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
What to look for in a quote
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Whether VAT is included
- Is the old sealant removed completely?

DIY versus a professional finish
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Throcking
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. Several properties can go on one quote.
