About our remedial sealant in Aspenden
Remedial jobs in Aspenden generally fall into a few patterns: sealant over sealant, mould under the bead, leaks that come back and movement joints that have split. Each is stripped back and done again properly. We work on leaking tray & enclosure joints, expansion joints and botched or over-sealed joints, and the jobs we see most are sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted and products that weren’t meant for the joint.
In a village or hamlet like Aspenden, 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.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.

Do you need remedial sealant in Aspenden?
One of the commonest remedial jobs is sealant on top of sealant. Silicone doesn’t bond to silicone, so the top layer lifts and water and mould collect between the two.
The most common problems we see are:
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Millfield First and Nursery School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
Questions to ask before you book
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are

Surface by surface
Leaking trays & enclosures
Where the joints are the problem, every bead is stripped and resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone, including the screen profile and tray edges.
Worktops & kitchens
Kitchen joints often have grease and cleaning residue deep in them, so we spend extra time cleaning before resealing.
The process
At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The visit itself normally takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere as small as Aspenden, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Surrounding tiles, trays and frames are protected first.
- Every layer of failed sealant is stripped out.
- The joint is degreased and checked for movement and leaks.
- New sealant goes in once the joint is dry, and is tooled smooth.
- You get the cure time and our view on why the joint failed.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Advice
Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clean sealant with mild products only
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
- Keep the room well ventilated
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
Leave the new joint to cure fully before it gets wet or moves: follow the cure time we give you.
If a joint has failed more than once, stop resealing it. Have someone find out why, or the next bead will go the same way.
Aspenden homes and their sealant
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
In the older streets around Parish Church of St Mary, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
