Remedial sealant in Tufnell Park
If a joint has been resealed and is leaking again, it’s worth a proper look. Send photos when you ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email, along with when it was last resealed. Common call-outs are for sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared and smears and lumps from a botched reseal, across leaking tray & enclosure joints, failed movement joints and mouldy bath & shower sealant.
London’s water is hard, so limescale builds up along sealant lines, in grout and on fittings. For a bathroom or kitchen in Tufnell Park, getting the joints right keeps water where it belongs and the room looking clean.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Common questions in Tufnell Park
Do you work for landlords with property near Upper Holloway station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Could a tired shower seal in my Tufnell Park flat affect the neighbours below?
Yes, it can. Water that gets past failed sealant or cracked grout can run under the bath or tray and show up on the ceiling below. Replacing the sealant and grout before that happens is much less trouble than repairing a neighbour’s ceiling.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We’ll tell you how long to leave the joint.
Can you take off two layers of silicone?
Yes. Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off, then the joint is resealed once.
Where do you work from?
We are a Crawley-based firm. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you fix expansion and movement joints?
Yes. The depth is set with backing so the sealant only bonds to the two sides, which lets it stretch.
Can you strip sealant from an acrylic tray safely?
Yes. We take our time over removal, especially on acrylic, enamel and uPVC.
What we’re called out for in Tufnell Park
All sealant wears out eventually. Over the years it shrinks, hardens and gets colonised by mould, especially in damp, poorly aired rooms. Then the only fix is removal and a new bead.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Over-sealed joints coming away
- Black mould underneath the bead
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
In the older streets around Church of St Benet and All Saints, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
What to look for in a quote
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Are they insured?

How we quote for remedial sealant
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Whether the work is at height
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first.
Helping us quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- The address or postcode of the job
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- Roughly how big the job is
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
To get a quote, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us where the job is and what the problem looks like. We’ll send you a clear quote before any work starts.
Can I do it myself?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
If you’re 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 doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.

What else we do in Tufnell Park
Why it’s worth doing now in Tufnell Park
Mould under a bead can’t be reached by cleaning. Removal is the only way to get at it, and the joint treated and dried before resealing. Damp from a failed joint spreads quietly in older London brickwork and timber, and by the time it shows on a wall or ceiling in Tufnell Park, the repair is bigger than the sealant job would have been.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
Why us?
- Colour picked to suit the job
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
- Full insurance on every job
- We leave the area clean and tidy
Remedial sealant in Tufnell Park: local notes
