If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think.

  • Leaking tray & enclosure joints
  • Failed movement joints

  • Shrunken worktop sealant

How we handle remedial sealant in Underriver

The wrong product in the wrong joint fails however neatly it’s applied. Out it comes, and in goes a sealant suited to the job. If you’re dealing with mould trapped under a layer of silicone and sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface, we can help, whatever the surface.

In a village or hamlet like Underriver, 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.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Should I try it myself first?

Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.

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 does not work out, we can still put it right.

Underriver: your questions answered

Will you come out to Underriver?

Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.

Do you work for landlords with property near Hildenborough station?

Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.

Will the old sealant be removed?

Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.

Do you offer different sealant colours?

Normally, yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available, and we’ll agree it with you first.

How long before the joint can be used?

Different products cure at different speeds, so follow the cure time we give you when we finish.

Do the sealants smell?

Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.

Are you fully insured?

Yes. We’re fully insured for every job we do.

Can you remove old sealant without damaging the bath?

Yes. We cut and lift the old sealant with tools suited to the surface, then clean off the residue. We point out any damage that’s already there.

For landlords and businesses

Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.

Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.

Quotes for remedial sealant in Underriver

Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • The type of sealant required
  • When we can work, for business premises
  • Any mould that needs treating
  • Whether the work is at height

The cost depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.

Asking for a quote

Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:

  • The type of property
  • Pictures of the joints, sent by email
  • Where the job is, and your postcode
  • Any access issues, like height or stairs

Every job is quoted individually, so the first step is telling us about yours. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details, and pictures are welcome.

Common problems we fix in Underriver

How a joint is built matters as much as the product. A bead bonded on three sides, or laid too thick, cannot flex, so it tears when the joint moves. Backing sets the depth and stops that.

It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:

  • Black mould underneath the bead
  • Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
  • Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
  • A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed

Homes close to Church of St Margaret include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

What to look for in a quote

  • Which colour the sealant will be
  • How much experience the applicator has
  • What preparation is included
  • How hidden problems are handled

Our hiring checklist

What remedial sealant looks like in Underriver

Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.

If you let a flat or house near Hildenborough station, failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak. Managing a site like Sevenoaks Preparatory School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

What happens if it’s left?

DIY removal often leaves scratches and a film of residue, and any film left behind stops new sealant sticking. Careful removal is most of a remedial job. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Underriver, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.

Doing several joints on one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

What happens on the day

We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out and we leave things clean and tidy. Somewhere like Underriver needs a little journey planning: 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. First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
  2. Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off.
  3. Mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
  5. We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

  • Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
