Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Ashingdon
If a joint fails again and again, something is causing it. Movement, the wrong product or a leak from somewhere else will beat any new bead. We look for the cause before we reseal. If you have caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area and sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
In a smaller place like Ashingdon, homes are mostly houses and bungalows rather than flats, from older cottages to newer builds. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do in a big town.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

The process
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. Parking around Ashingdon is generally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- The failure is looked at first, so we know whether it’s sealant, movement or water from elsewhere.
- Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.
- Mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The right product goes in, with backing where the joint moves.
- The joint is tooled and you are told about anything else we found.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Advice
Why act early in Ashingdon
It’s easy to scratch acrylic, enamel or an uPVC frame cutting out old sealant, and any film left behind stops new sealant sticking. Careful removal is most of a remedial job. In a smaller place like Ashingdon, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.

What the job involves on each surface
Worktops & kitchens
A loose worktop splits its sealant. It needs fixing down first, and we’ll tell you if we find it.
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 before anti-fungal sanitary silicone goes in.
Should I try it myself first?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.

Ashingdon homes and their sealant
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
Rented homes near Hockley station change hands often, and a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty. If you look after a building such as King Edmund School, washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.

Common questions in Ashingdon
Do you work for landlords with property near Hockley station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you cover smaller places like Ashingdon?
Yes. Ashingdon is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
When is the sealant fully cured?
That depends on the sealant used, so follow the cure time we give you when we finish.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Most of the time, yes. We will explain which colours are available and agree one before any work starts.
Can failed expansion joints be resealed?
Yes. Failed movement joints are cut out and resealed with backing and a flexible sealant suited to the movement.
What happens if the problem is the tray or the plumbing?
Then we explain what we have found. You may need a plumber or bathroom fitter before any new sealant goes on.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator, and we’re fully insured.
Common problems we fix in Ashingdon
Products get mixed up: caulk where it gets wet, rigid sealant where things move, or an acetoxy silicone on a surface it can mark. Each fails in its own way.
The most common problems we see are:
- Torn expansion joints
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Andrew, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
- Find out why the sealant failed first
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
Do not let anyone seal over it later. Over-sealing is how many remedial jobs start.
Signs to act on: peeling layers, mould showing through the bead, leaks after showering or cracks in a movement joint. Each one is worth getting looked at.
What sealant work cannot fix
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Failed tanking or loose tiles behind the sealant
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.
