About our remedial sealant in Westridge
Decorators’ caulk in a shower, bathroom silicone on a window, a rigid filler in a movement joint will not last, however tidy it looks. We take it out and use a sealant made for that joint. We work on leaking tray & enclosure joints, mouldy bath & shower sealant and botched or over-sealed joints, and common reasons people get in touch are a shower that leaks however often it’s resealed and kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop.
For a small place like Westridge, remedial sealant is planned like any other job: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. Once we are there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
- Clean sealant with mild products only
If we’ve found a cause, such as a loose tray or a leaking waste, get it fixed, because the new sealant can’t hold back a problem underneath.
A split movement joint lets rain into walls and floors, and the longer it’s left, the more the joint edges break down. Resealing while the edges are sound is simpler.
What the job involves on each surface
Worktops & kitchens
Shrunken worktop sealant leaves a gap that lets water into the back edge. It’s cut out, degreased and resealed in a colour to suit.
Movement & expansion joints
Movement joints in floors, walls and façades need a flexible sealant set to the right depth. We remove the failed sealant, fit backing and reseal.
Common problems we fix in Westridge
Sealant needs a clean, dry surface with no grease on it. Soap film, dust, damp or old residue stop it gripping, so it starts lifting sooner than it should.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
Schools such as Oakfield Church of England Aided Primary School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they’re fully insured
- What happens if the job turns out different
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- How the colour is chosen

When it is not the sealant
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Water damage behind tiles that needs a tiler
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
- A bath, tray or worktop that moves until it’s properly fixed
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

FAQs for Westridge
Do you cover smaller places like Westridge?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you take on hotel work around Westridge?
Yes, we work for hotels as well as homes and businesses. Rooms can be done a few at a time, so the building stays open.
How long does remedial resealing take?
That depends on how many layers there are and how many joints. You will have a timescale before any work begins.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before applying anything new.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Can tenants book the work?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can I do it myself?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
What we do, step by step
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can get on with your day. The job usually takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. Somewhere like Westridge needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- Surrounding tiles, trays and frames are protected first.
- Every layer of failed sealant is stripped out.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on

Advice
How we quote for remedial sealant
Your quote is based on your job. We look at:
- The size of the job
- When we can work, for business premises
- Access and height
- Which sealant suits the joint
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What to tell us for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Whether it has been sealed before
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is.
