Remedial sealant near West Wickham

Remedial sealant in West Wickham, done properly

Not every leak is a sealant leak. Cracked trays, leaking wastes and faulty valves often look like a sealant problem. If that is what we find, we’ll tell you rather than reseal something that will not fix it. Typical jobs include a shower that leaks however often it’s resealed and movement joints that have split or pulled away, across leaking tray & enclosure joints, mouldy bath & shower sealant and failed movement joints.

Hard London water leaves limescale on sealant, grout and taps alike. For a bathroom or kitchen in West Wickham, getting the joints right keeps water where it belongs and the room looking clean.

All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in West Wickham and everywhere else we cover.

What happens if it’s left?

Hidden water does the most damage: wet floors, stained ceilings and swollen worktops. Dealing with the joint now is a small job by comparison. In a flat in West Wickham, failed sealant seldom stays inside your own four walls: water can reach the neighbours below, and gaps in fire-rated joints affect the whole building.

No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

Why us?

  • A 12-month guarantee on all work

Keeping the joints in good condition

Aftercare is simple:

  • Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
  • Run the fan after every shower
  • Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
  • Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom

Do not let anyone seal over it later. New silicone doesn’t bond to old, so the old bead should always come out first.

Movement joints that have split let water into the structure, and left long enough, the edges of the joint can crumble. Resealing while the edges are sound is simpler.

Common problems we fix in West Wickham

Joint depth matters. Sealant packed too deep, or stuck to the back of the joint as well as the sides, cannot stretch, so it tears when the joint moves. Backing sets the depth and stops that.

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

  • Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
  • Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
  • A second bead peeling off the first
  • Floor or wall movement joints that have failed

Homes close to St Francis of Assisi include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether they seal over old material or remove it
  • When the joint can take water or movement
  • Whether they’re fully insured
  • Which colour the sealant will be

Our hiring checklist

What sealant work cannot fix

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:

  • Water damage behind tiles that needs a tiler
  • A tray or worktop that needs refixing first
  • Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we seal

  • Expansion joints
  • Mouldy bath & shower sealant
  • Failed movement joints
  • Botched or over-sealed joints
  • Shrunken worktop sealant
  • Leaking tray & enclosure joints

What affects the cost of remedial sealant

Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:

  • Any mould that needs treating
  • Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
  • Any working-time requirements on site
  • The number of rooms or windows

What it costs 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, so you know where you stand.

What we need to know

To make quoting easier, let us know:

  • If someone has resealed it before
  • The address or postcode of the job
  • What’s wrong with the joints now
  • Photos by email, if that is easy

Every job is quoted individually. Simply ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and describe the job, and photos are welcome.

West Wickham questions

Can you help a landlord with a rental near West Wickham station?

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

Is parking an issue for remedial sealant in West Wickham?

In much of London, parking needs planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot, so mention what’s available when you book.

How long should I leave it?

Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We will give you the cure time for the product we used.

Which products do you use?

Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will tell you what we’re using.

Do you fix expansion and movement joints?

Yes. We cut out the failed sealant, fit backing and reseal with a flexible product.

Can I do it myself?

For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.

Where are you based?

Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. Our applicators cover West Wickham.

Can I choose the sealant colour?

We help you choose a colour that suits. The product needed can limit the range.

West Wickham homes and their sealant

In a London flat, water from a failed bath or shower seal can reach the neighbours below, which is why it’s worth fixing early. London’s water is hard, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.

If you let a flat or house near West Wickham station, botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants. As a London address, West Wickham can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

The process

Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself usually takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out, depending on the size of the job. For a job in West Wickham, parking and access are the things to plan: let us know about parking, the floor we will be working on and any lift or shared entrance.

  1. First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
  2. Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.
  3. Mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
  5. The joint is tooled and you are told about anything else we found.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
  • Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any parking rules near the property
