About our remedial sealant in Wood's Corner
If a joint has been resealed and is leaking again, it’s worth a proper look. It helps to have photos when you call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email, and say how long ago it was last done. If you’re dealing with decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower and repeat leaks from the same joint, we can put it right.
Being in a small place like Wood's Corner makes no difference to the job itself: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

When it is not the sealant
In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
- Cracks in the fitting rather than the joint
- Water damage behind tiles that needs a tiler
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Wood's Corner questions
Can you do remedial sealant in Wood's Corner?
Yes, Wood's Corner is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
I let a flat near Stonegate station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured.
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 strip and reseal the joints.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status, and we’re fully insured.
What happens if the problem is the tray or the plumbing?
That is why we look for the cause first. If we find the leak is elsewhere, we tell you before going further.
Can you strip sealant from an acrylic tray safely?
Yes, with care. We cut and lift the old sealant with tools suited to the surface, and the residue is cleaned away. We point out any damage that’s already there.
Can failed expansion joints be resealed?
Yes. Failed movement joints are cut out and resealed with backing and a flexible sealant suited to the movement.
Signs you need remedial sealant in Wood's Corner
Some joints fail because water is reaching them from behind. A leaking valve, a failed waste or cracked grout feeds water behind the bead, and the sealant lifts or goes mouldy from underneath.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- A second bead peeling off the first
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
- Black mould underneath the bead
For an older house near a landmark such as The Parish Church of St Giles, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
Questions to ask before you book
- Which colour the sealant will be
- How long to leave it before use
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Is VAT in the price?
DIY versus a professional finish
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.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Landlord and commercial work in Wood's Corner
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
Why act early in Wood's Corner
Hidden water does the most damage: soaked floorboards, ceiling stains below and blown plaster. Dealing with the joint now is a small job by comparison. In a small place like Wood's Corner, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
We do not show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will talk you through it.

Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Don’t add new sealant on top of old
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
- Do not point over movement joints
- Check trays and worktops do not move
Ventilation keeps mould away from the new bead: use the extractor or open a window after showering.
Leaks through failed sealant grow over time. Each use pushes more water behind the bead, into whatever is behind or below. Sorting it early limits the damage.
