How the visit works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. In a small place like West Langdon, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start by checking the joint for movement, leaks and the reason it failed.
- Every layer of old sealant is cut and cleaned out.
- Next, any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- Moving joints get backing and a flexible sealant to suit.
- Finally we finish the joint and talk you through what we found.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
- Act on a lifting corner right away
Do not let anyone seal over it later. Over-sealing is how many remedial jobs start.
Warning signs: sealant lifting at the ends, a second bead visible on top of the first, black mould under the silicone, or stains below a bathroom. Each one is worth getting looked at.
Honest limits
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A tray or worktop that needs refixing first
- Plumbing leaks behind walls or under trays
- Water damage behind tiles that needs a tiler
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Expansion joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Failed movement joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
Why deal with it now?
Stripping out botched sealant adds time to a reseal, but rarely a lot: the work takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. It’s far less disruption than resealing the same joint again and again. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like West Langdon, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.
Why West Langdon clients choose us
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- Every job guaranteed for a year

Questions from West Langdon
Do you work for landlords with property near Martin Mill station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Is West Langdon in your area for remedial sealant?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and West Langdon is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
My shower still leaks after a reseal. Can you sort it?
Yes. All the sealant comes out, we find out why it failed, and the joint is resealed properly.
What happens if the problem is the tray or the plumbing?
You’ll hear it from us. If it’s a cracked tray, a failed valve or a leaking waste, resealing won’t fix it, so we will not pretend it will.
Does remedial work come with a guarantee?
Yes, for 12 months. If we have pointed out another problem, getting it fixed helps the new joint last.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
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.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status.
Bathrooms and kitchens in West Langdon
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Rented homes near Martin Mill station change hands often, and a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Langdon Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. Homes close to St Mary the Virgin include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.

What the job involves on each surface
Leaking trays & enclosures
A cracked tray, failed valve or leaking waste needs a different fix. We say so rather than reseal.
Movement & expansion joints
Some movement joints have been filled with mortar or grout. Where it can be raked out, we replace it with flexible sealant.
