I let a flat near Bures station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can be quoted together. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and we’ll quote it together.
Can mouldy silicone be sorted out?
Yes, by replacing the sealant. Cleaning products may lighten it, but the lasting fix is new anti-fungal silicone on a clean, treated joint. Good ventilation helps keep it away.

Yes, a 12-month guarantee. Looking after the joint as we suggest helps it last.
Does someone need to be in?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
How long before the new sealant can get wet?
Silicone is touch-dry quite quickly, but it takes longer to cure. Leave it around 24 hours before it gets wet, or follow the cure time we give you.

Why it’s worth doing now in Bures
A clean new bead makes a room look cared for, which helps when a home is being let or put on the market. A smeared, uneven DIY bead does the opposite, and it’s harder to put right later. Around Bures, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Why us?
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
- Full insurance on every job
- We never seal over old sealant

Common problems we fix in Bures
Sealing over old silicone is one of the commonest mistakes we find. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so it peels, leaks and hides mould behind it.
The problems people normally mention when they call include:
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
- Black spots spreading through the bead
- Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary the Virgin, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- How long to leave it before use
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- How much experience the applicator has
Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Open a window or run the fan so the room dries
- Keep scourers and sharp tools away from the bead
- Look for lifting corners and small gaps now and then
- Do not let bottles sit on the bead
Mould needs damp, so keep the room aired. Run the extractor fan during and after a shower, so the silicone gets a chance to dry.
Each shower pushes a little more water through a failed joint. Left alone, it soaks into the floor, the wall behind the tiles or the ceiling below. Early resealing closes the gap before damage is done.
Surface by surface
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Water behind a laminate worktop can make the edge swell. A continuous bead along the back keeps water out.
Shower trays & enclosures
Shower trays are sealed to the wall, and enclosures are sealed to the tray and tiles. Both take water every day, so both are resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Should I try it myself first?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
