How we handle remedial sealant in West Hackney
If a joint fails again and again, something is causing it. A tray that moves, a worktop that is not fixed, the wrong sealant or water getting in elsewhere will defeat even a perfect bead. Finding that cause comes before any new sealant. We work on shrunken worktop sealant, failed movement joints and leaking tray & enclosure joints, and the jobs we see most are torn expansion joints and sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted.
In much of London, period terraces have been converted into flats over the years, and bathrooms were often squeezed into small rooms. A compact bathroom that steams up every day is hard on silicone and grout, and homes in West Hackney are no different.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
If you manage several properties in or around West Hackney, jobs at different addresses can be quoted together. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs, and photos by email help.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can be quoted together.
What happens if it’s left?
Another bead over the top will not fix a failed joint. It does not grip the old layer, so the leak carries on and there’s now more to remove. In older London homes, water behind a failed joint soaks into brick and timber without much sign, and by the time it shows on a wall or ceiling in West Hackney, the repair is bigger than the sealant job would have been.
The cost 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 any work starts.
Why us?
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
- Colour picked to suit the job
- Every job guaranteed for a year

Different surfaces, different methods
Movement & expansion joints
Joints filled with mortar, grout or rigid filler cannot move. We rake that out where it can be removed and seal with a flexible product.
Leaking trays & enclosures
When failed joints are the cause, they’re all cut out and renewed, tray edges and screen profiles included.
West Hackney homes and their sealant
West Hackney has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room. London has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Schools such as Benthal Primary School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. West Hackney is in London, so parking needs planning: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. Homes close to St Michael and All Angels include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

How it works
We bring everything the job needs with us. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. Many London jobs are in flats, so we come ready for stairs, narrow hallways and shared entrances. Mention any building rules, key holders or managing agents when you book.
- The failure is looked at first, so we know whether it’s sealant, movement or water from elsewhere.
- Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.
- We treat any mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The right product goes in, with backing where the joint moves.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Clear the area around the work

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Questions from West Hackney
Could a tired shower seal in my West Hackney flat affect the neighbours below?
It can, yes: water that gets past a split bead or cracked grout often runs under the tray and shows on the ceiling below. It’s far simpler to replace tired sealant early than to deal with a neighbour’s ceiling.
Is parking an issue for remedial sealant in West Hackney?
In much of London, parking needs planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day run more smoothly, so mention what’s available when you book.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
How long should I leave it?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We will tell you how long to leave the joint before we leave.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
What if the leak is not the sealant?
We will tell you. A cracked tray, faulty valve or leaking waste needs a different trade, so we won’t pretend it will.
How do I get a quote for remedial sealant in West Hackney?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You will get a clear quote before work begins.
My shower still leaks after a reseal. Can you sort it?
Yes. We check it’s the sealant and not the tray, valve or waste, then the joints are stripped and resealed.
