About our remedial sealant in Westbourne
Movement and expansion joints fail when the sealant can’t stretch. We cut out the failed sealant and set the depth with backing, before resealing with a flexible product suited to the movement. Typical jobs include a shower that leaks however often it’s resealed and movement joints that have split or pulled away, on shrunken worktop sealant, expansion joints and failed movement joints.
In much of London, period terraces have been converted into flats over the years, with bathrooms fitted into whatever space was available. A compact bathroom that steams up every day is hard on silicone and grout, and homes in Westbourne are no different.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

The process
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, protect the area around them, carry out the job and clear up. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. In Westbourne, as in most of London, parking needs a little planning. A visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the visit run more smoothly.
- We protect the surfaces around the joint.
- The botched or failed sealant is cut away completely.
- We clean and degrease the joint and look for signs of movement or water.
- Once dry, a suitable sealant is applied and tooled.
- We give you the cure time and explain what caused the failure.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Mention any tricky access
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Advice
Westbourne questions
Is parking an issue for remedial sealant in Westbourne?
It can be, so it helps to tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. That way the visit can be planned around it.
Can worn sealant in a flat in Westbourne cause a leak downstairs?
Yes, and the first sign is often a stain on the ceiling below. Cutting out the old sealant and laying a new bead early stops it getting that far.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
What do you put in the joint?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We will tell you what we are using and why.
When is the sealant fully cured?
That depends on the sealant used, so follow the cure time we give you when we finish.
What information do you need?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
How long will it take to strip and reseal the joint?
A little longer than a standard reseal. Most jobs take a few hours.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Westbourne
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too in Westbourne and across Greater London. Several sites can be quoted together.
Why act early in Westbourne
A joint that has failed twice will fail again unless the cause is dealt with. Taking time to find the cause, whether it’s movement, a leak or the wrong product, is what stops it happening again. Converted houses in London often have a bathroom above someone else’s living room, and a slow leak from a failed seal can end up in the flat below. Putting it right early is much less trouble.
Doing several joints on one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

DIY versus a professional finish
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Check ceilings under showers for marks
- Don’t point over movement joints
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
If the joint ever needs renewing, have it cut out, not sealed over. New silicone doesn’t bond to old.
Signs to act on: sealant lifting at the ends, a second bead visible on top of the first, black mould under the silicone, or stains below a bathroom. Any of them means it’s time for remedial work.
When to call us in Westbourne
Using the wrong product is a common cause: caulk where it gets wet, rigid sealant where things move, or an acetoxy silicone on a surface it can mark. Each fails in its own way.
The problems people usually mention when they call include:
- Torn expansion joints
- A second bead peeling off the first
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
Westbourne is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

Remedial sealant in Westbourne: local notes
London’s water is hard, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and taps. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Westbourne. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room.
If you look after a building such as St. Mary of the Angels Catholic Primary School, washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes. Letting a property close to London Paddington station? Then a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.
