Remedial sealant in Apsley End

A joint that keeps failing usually has a reason. Movement, the wrong product or a leak from somewhere else will defeat even a perfect bead. Finding that cause comes before any new sealant. If you have worktop sealant that has shrunk and split and mould trapped under a layer of silicone, we can help, on mouldy bath & shower sealant, botched or over-sealed joints and shrunken worktop sealant alike.

For a small place like Apsley End, remedial sealant is planned like any other job: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Once we’re there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.

All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Remedial sealant around Apsley End

Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.

For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Shillington Lower School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. Homes close to Church of All Saints include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

Apsley End is about 5 miles north-west of Hitchin, in Hertfordshire. Across the SG5 area, our applicators can take on remedial sealant. Our Hertfordshire coverage runs to 381 places, Apsley End among them. There’s also a page for London, about 36 miles away.

What we can’t put right

In fairness, some problems need a different trade:

  • A tray or worktop that needs refixing first
  • Tiles that have come away from the wall
  • Plumbing leaks behind walls or under trays

Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we seal

  • Shrunken worktop sealant
  • Mouldy bath & shower sealant
  • Botched or over-sealed joints
  • Expansion joints
  • Leaking tray & enclosure joints
  • Failed movement joints

Leave it or put it right?

Leaks that are left keep doing damage out of sight: wet floors, stained ceilings and swollen worktops. Dealing with the joint now is a small job by comparison. Older cottages and farmhouses around Apsley End can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.

What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.

Different surfaces, different methods

Worktops & kitchens

If a worktop moves when you lean on it, the sealant will keep splitting. It needs fixing down first, which we’ll point out.

Windows & doors

Frames resealed over the top end up with hard, layered mastic. We remove it all and clean back to sound surfaces before backing and resealing.

DIY sealant or a professional job?

Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.

Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.

What we do, step by step

Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The work normally takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied, depending on how much there is to do. For a village or hamlet like Apsley End, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.

  1. Surrounding tiles, trays and frames are protected first.
  2. Every layer of failed sealant is stripped out.
  3. The joint is degreased and checked for movement and leaks.
  4. New sealant goes in once the joint is dry, and is tooled smooth.
  5. We give you the cure time and explain what caused the failure.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
  • Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
  • Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
