How we handle remedial sealant in Bedlar's Green
In Bedlar's Green, as anywhere, remedial jobs tend to look alike: 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. Typical jobs include sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface and mould trapped under a layer of silicone, across mouldy bath & shower sealant, failed movement joints and shrunken worktop sealant.
For a small place like Bedlar's Green, 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.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
How the job changes by surface
Windows & doors
Smeared or badly matched mastic can be cut out and redone neatly, in a colour that suits the frame.
Worktops & kitchens
Old kitchen sealant pulls back from the wall over time. It’s cut out, degreased and resealed in a colour to suit.
When to call us in Bedlar's Green
All sealant wears out eventually. Mould grows into the silicone, the surface hardens and the bead shrinks, especially in damp, poorly aired rooms. Then the only fix is removal and a new bead.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Beads that never stuck properly
- Black mould underneath the bead
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
- Torn expansion joints
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Giles, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Keep the room well ventilated
- Deal with small splits early
- Clean sealant with mild products only
- Don’t point over movement joints
Watch the joint over the first few weeks, particularly where the original failure was caused by movement. If anything changes, just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
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.
Bedlar's Green questions
Do you cover Bedlar's Green for remedial sealant?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Bedlar's Green is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
I let a flat near Bishops Stortford station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Can failed expansion joints be resealed?
Yes. Backing sets the depth and stops the sealant sticking to the back.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us, and we’re fully insured.
How long will it take to strip and reseal the joint?
The number of joints and layers decides it. We will tell you before work begins.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access.
How long before the joint can be used?
It depends on the product and the temperature. Before we leave, we will tell you the cure time.
Remedial sealant around Bedlar's Green
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.

Why deal with it now?
DIY removal often leaves scratches and a film of residue, and the residue left behind stops the next bead bonding. Careful stripping is where most of our time goes. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Bedlar's Green, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before work begins.

The process
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and tidy away. Most jobs take a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. Somewhere as small as Bedlar's Green, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We look at how the sealant has failed and check for movement or a leak path.
- We strip the joint completely, removing any layers below.
- Next, any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- Moving joints get backing and a flexible sealant to suit.
- The new joint is tooled neatly and we explain anything else we found.
Getting ready for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Tell us about any water getting in
