Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Almshouse Green
If a joint fails again and again, something is causing it. Movement, the wrong product or a leak from somewhere else will defeat even a perfect bead. We look for the cause before we reseal. We work on failed movement joints, mouldy bath & shower sealant and expansion joints, and common reasons people get in touch are thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles and beads that never stuck properly.
In a village or hamlet like Almshouse Green, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
Every job is covered by our one-year guarantee.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
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, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
How it works
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. It normally takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. In a small place like Almshouse Green, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we find out how and where the joint has failed.
- Every layer of old sealant is cut and cleaned out.
- Next, any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- Moving joints get backing and a flexible sealant to suit.
- Finally we finish the joint and talk you through what we found.
How to prepare
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

What the job involves on each surface
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.
Windows & doors
Some leaks around windows come from the wall or the window itself. We check the joint and tell you if it looks to be something else.

What does remedial sealant cost?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. For a quick quote, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing and where.

Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Why act early in Almshouse Green
A failed seal rarely means a new bathroom. If the bath, tray and tiles are sound, remedial resealing normally puts it right. If they’re not, we’ll tell you. In a small place like Almshouse Green, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. 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.

What we’re called out for in Almshouse Green
Movement tears sealant that isn’t designed for it. A bath that flexes, a tray that rocks or a building joint that opens and closes will split a rigid or thin bead.
People normally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
- Over-sealed joints coming away
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
Managing a site like Hedingham School and Sixth Form? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
