Remedial sealant across Southend-on-Sea: what to expect

Getting old sealant out properly is slow, careful work. Every layer is cut out, the residue cleaned off and the joint degreased, taking care not to scratch the surfaces around it. Only then can new sealant bond. Typical jobs include wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones and worktop sealant that has shrunk and split, on failed movement joints, expansion joints and botched or over-sealed joints.

We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied.

We protect the surfaces around the joint.
Every layer of failed sealant is stripped out.
We clean and degrease the joint and look for signs of movement or water.
Once dry, a suitable sealant is applied and tooled.
You get the cure time and our view on why the joint failed.

Where we work in Southend-on-Sea

In Southend-on-Sea, remedial sealant takes in flats, houses, rentals and businesses, from Prittlewell, Shoeburyness and Leigh-on-Sea to the quieter places in between. Wherever the job is, all the old material comes out before anything new goes in.

London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, but outdoor sealant still needs a dry day and clean surfaces, so outside work in Southend-on-Sea is planned around the forecast. Parts of Southend-on-Sea are on or near the coast, where wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are hard on outside sealant. Joints on seaward walls tend to fail first.

Southend-on-Sea: If you look after a building such as Westborough Academy, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. If you let a flat or house near Prittlewell station, a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.

Why deal with it now?

Spraying mould remover on a sealed-over joint doesn’t reach what’s underneath. The layers have to come out, and the joint treated and dried before resealing.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Southend-on-Sea

A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.

For anyone letting property in or around Southend-on-Sea, several properties can go on one quote. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs, and photos by email help.

DIY versus a professional finish

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, and the work is guaranteed for a year.

A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.

Quotes for remedial sealant in Southend-on-Sea

The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:

Looking after it afterwards

Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:

Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
Deal with small splits early

Where we’ve pointed out another fault, have it put right, because the new sealant cannot hold back a problem underneath.

A split movement joint lets rain into walls and floors, and left long enough, the edges of the joint can crumble. A joint with sound edges is far easier to reseal.

Southend-on-Sea questions

Do you hold any approvals?

Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.

What does remedial sealant cost?

There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You will get a clear quote before any work starts.

Can old silicone be taken off without scratching the tiles?

Yes. The old bead is cut and lifted with tools that suit the surface, then clean off the residue. We point out any damage that is already there.

What if the leak isn’t the sealant?

We check for that before we reseal. If we find the leak is elsewhere, we tell you before going further.

Can you take off two layers of silicone?

Yes. We remove every layer; over-sealing fails because silicone will not bond to silicone.

How long before the joint can be used?

Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We will give you the cure time for the product we used.

Is it messy?

We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.
