Remedial sealant in Blake End, done properly
Not every leak is a sealant leak. Cracked trays, leaking wastes and faulty valves often look like a sealant problem. When the fault is elsewhere, we say so instead of resealing for the sake of it. Common call-outs are for a shower that leaks however often it’s resealed and wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones, on expansion joints, shrunken worktop sealant and failed movement joints.
Somewhere as small as Blake End, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Act on a lifting corner right away
- Clean sealant with mild products only
- Find out why the sealant failed first
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
Watch the joint over the first few weeks, particularly where the original failure was caused by movement. If anything changes, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
If a joint has failed more than once, stop resealing it. Get the cause found first, or the next bead will go the same way.
Surface by surface
Windows & doors
Wrong-coloured or messy mastic can be replaced for appearance too, in a colour that suits the frame.
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Black mould inside the bead won’t scrub out. All of it comes out, and the joint is treated and dried before anti-fungal sanitary silicone goes in.

Questions from Blake End
Do you cover smaller places like Blake End?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you work for landlords with property near Braintree station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Is it worth trying it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The product needed can limit the range.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Can failed expansion joints be resealed?
Yes. We cut out the failed sealant, fit backing and reseal with a flexible product.
How long will it take to strip and reseal the joint?
The number of joints and layers decides it. You will have a timescale before any work begins.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured.
What affects the cost of remedial sealant
You will get a clear quote before any work starts. It’s based on:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Access and height
- The product the joint needs
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
What we need to know
You don’t need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- The address or postcode of the job
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Whether it’s a home or a business
Every job is quoted individually, so the first step is telling us about yours. Simply call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and describe the job, and photos are welcome.
The process
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you. We protect the surfaces around the joints before work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. Somewhere as small as Blake End, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- 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.
How to prepare
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Clear the area around the work
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Related advice
Why deal with it now?
Mould under a bead can’t be reached by cleaning. Removal is the only way to get at it, so the joint can be treated and resealed. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Blake End, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first.
What you get with us
- A 12-month guarantee on all work
- We never seal over old sealant
