Walliswood Remedial Sealant
We cover Walliswood for removing failed, mouldy or leaking sealant and putting it right. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly.
- A second bead peeling off the first
- Beads that never stuck properly
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Check ceilings under showers for marks
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
- Never seal over old silicone
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
Don’t let anyone seal over it later. New silicone does not bond to old, so the old bead should always come out first.
If a joint has failed more than once, stop resealing it. Get the cause found first, otherwise the next attempt will fail too.
About our remedial sealant in Walliswood
A movement joint stops working when its sealant splits or sets hard. The old sealant comes out and backing goes in to control the depth, then a flexible sealant matched to the movement goes in. We are often asked to deal with kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop and sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted, across expansion joints, mouldy bath & shower sealant and botched or over-sealed joints.
Being in a small place like Walliswood makes no difference to the job itself: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

Walliswood questions
Will you come out to Walliswood?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you work for landlords with property near Ockley station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Should I try DIY first?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. Our applicators cover Walliswood, along with the rest of our area.
Do you fix expansion and movement joints?
Yes. We cut out the failed sealant, fit backing and reseal with a flexible product.
Can old silicone be taken off without scratching the tiles?
Yes. We avoid heavy scraping and use the right cleaner for each surface, so the new sealant bonds cleanly.
What happens if the problem is the tray or the plumbing?
In that case, we tell you what we’ve found. A plumber or fitter may be needed.
Remedial sealant in Walliswood: local notes
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Rented homes near Ockley station change hands often, and botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants. In the older streets around Church of St John the Baptist, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

Why act early in Walliswood
Leaks that are left keep doing damage out of sight: soaked floorboards, ceiling stains below and blown plaster. Dealing with the joint now is a small job by comparison. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Walliswood, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins, so you know where you stand.

How the job changes by surface
Windows & doors
Wrong-coloured or messy mastic can be replaced for appearance too, matched to the frame colour.
Worktops & kitchens
Kitchen joints hold grease and residue, so cleaning takes longer than in a bathroom before resealing.
