Remedial sealant near Tower Hill

Remedial sealant in Tower Hill, done properly

Movement and expansion joints fail when the sealant can’t stretch. The old sealant comes out and backing goes in to control the depth, before resealing with a flexible product suited to the movement. We work on mouldy bath & shower sealant, shrunken worktop sealant and failed movement joints, and the jobs we see most are decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower and gaps opening along the back of the worktop.

Homes around Tower Hill are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. The work is the same as anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

Remedial sealant in Tower Hill: local notes

There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Tower Hill. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room. 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 landlords with property near Christs Hospital station, failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak. If you live in an older home near Parish Church of St Mary, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St John's Catholic Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

Surface by surface

Worktops & kitchens

Kitchen joints hold grease and residue, so we spend extra time cleaning.

Mouldy bath & shower sealant

Black mould inside the bead will not scrub out. The sealant is cut out completely, the joint treated with a mould remover and dried before anti-fungal sanitary silicone goes in.

Looking after it afterwards

No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:

  • Deal with small splits early
  • Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
  • Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
  • Don’t add new sealant on top of old

If the joint ever needs renewing, have it cut out, not sealed over. New silicone does not bond to old.

A split movement joint lets rain into walls and floors, and the longer it’s left, the more the joint edges break down. Resealing while the edges are sound is simpler.

What sealant work can’t fix

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Tiles that have come away from the wall
  • 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, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.

Joints and surfaces we work on

  • Shrunken worktop sealant
  • Mouldy bath & shower sealant
  • Botched or over-sealed joints
  • Failed movement joints
  • Expansion joints
  • Leaking tray & enclosure joints

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses

In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.

If you manage several properties in or around Tower Hill, several properties can go on one quote. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs, and photos by email help.

Common questions in Tower Hill

Do you work in hotels near Tower Hill?

Yes. Hotel and guest-house work 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 Tower Hill?

Yes, Tower Hill is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.

Someone sealed over the old bead. Can you fix it?

Yes. We remove every layer; new silicone doesn’t bond to old silicone, which is why over-sealing fails.

Do you have insurance?

Yes. We are fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.

Does someone need to be in?

Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.

Can you fix a reseal that hasn’t worked?

Yes. First we check whether the leak is the sealant at all, then the joints are stripped and resealed.

Are you an approved applicator?

Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.

What happens if it’s left?

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 Tower Hill, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.

What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.

Why book with us

  • Colour picked to suit the job
  • Arbo and Everbuild products
  • Neat joints and a tidy finish
  • White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows

See our cost guide and what customers say.

What we do, step by step

Once we’re on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. For a village or hamlet like Tower Hill, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.

  1. Surrounding tiles, trays and frames are protected first.
  2. The botched or failed sealant is cut away completely.
  3. We clean and degrease the joint and look for signs of movement or water.
  4. New sealant goes in once the joint is dry, and is tooled smooth.
  5. We give you the cure time and explain what caused the failure.

How we quote for remedial sealant

You’ll get a clear quote before work begins. It’s based on:

  • The number and length of the joints
  • Which sealant suits the joint
  • How easy the joints are to reach
  • How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove

A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Asking for a quote

Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:

  • The type of property
  • Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
  • The rough size of the job
  • What’s wrong with the joints now
