Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Amwell
Removing failed sealant is the hardest part of the job. Every layer is cut out, the residue cleaned off and the joint degreased, without scratching tiles, trays or frames. Only then can new sealant bond. We’re often asked to deal with movement joints that have split or pulled away and over-sealed joints coming away, on shrunken worktop sealant, mouldy bath & shower sealant and failed movement joints.
For a small place like Amwell, 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.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

FAQs for Amwell
Do you work for landlords with property near Harpenden station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can ring 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.
Will you come out to Amwell?
Yes, Amwell is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status, and we are fully insured.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will tell you what we are using.
Does someone need to be in?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
Is it messy?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints.

How it works
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work starts. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. Somewhere as small as Amwell, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We protect the surfaces around the joint.
- Every layer of failed sealant is stripped out.
- The joint is degreased and checked for movement and leaks.

Advice
Amwell homes and their sealant
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
For landlords with property near Harpenden station, botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants. If you live in an older home near St Helen's Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
- Clean sealant with mild products only
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
Where we’ve pointed out another fault, have it put right, or the new joint may fail again.
Movement joints that have split let water into the structure, and the longer it’s left, the more the joint edges break down. A joint with sound edges is far easier to reseal.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Different surfaces, different methods
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Black mould inside the bead will not scrub out. All of it comes out, and the joint is treated and dried ahead of a new anti-fungal bead.
Worktops & kitchens
Kitchen joints often have grease and cleaning residue deep in them, so we spend extra time cleaning before resealing.
When something else is needed
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- A bath, tray or worktop that moves until it’s properly fixed
- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
- Plumbing leaks behind walls or under trays
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Failed movement joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Expansion joints
Common problems we fix in Amwell
Even good sealant ages. Mould grows into the silicone, the surface hardens and the bead shrinks, faster where ventilation is poor. Then the only fix is removal and a new bead.
People generally contact us after spotting one of these:
- Black mould underneath the bead
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
- A second bead peeling off the first
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Helen's Church of England Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
Questions to ask before booking
- Are they insured?
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- What the cure time is
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
