Remedial sealant in Boreham Street
Two decades of sealant work means we recognise most failures quickly. We’re fully insured ARBOMaster approved applicators, and every remedial job comes with a 12-month guarantee. If you have repeat leaks from the same joint and smears and lumps from a botched reseal, we can help, on failed movement joints, shrunken worktop sealant and mouldy bath & shower sealant alike.
In a village or hamlet like Boreham Street, 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.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
- Check trays and worktops do not move
- Check ceilings under showers for marks
- Run the fan after every shower
Where we have pointed out another fault, have it put right, because the new sealant can’t hold back a problem underneath.
If a joint has failed more than once, stop resealing it. Have someone find out why, otherwise the next attempt will fail too.

What else we do in Boreham Street
When to call us in Boreham Street
A lot of failed joints have been sealed over rather than replaced. Silicone does not bond to silicone, so the top layer lifts and water and mould collect between the two.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Over-sealed joints coming away
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
In and around Boreham Street, as anywhere, good remedial sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Questions to ask before booking
- What insurance they hold
- Is VAT in the price?
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Whether you can choose the colour
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
What affects the cost of remedial sealant
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- How much there is to do
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
Combining jobs into one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We’ll send you a clear quote for the lot.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- The type of property
- Where the property is
- What’s wrong with the joints now
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand, and we’ll come back to you with a quote.
Common questions in Boreham Street
Do you cover smaller places like Boreham Street?
Yes. Boreham Street is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Normans Bay station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Do the sealants smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
Do you guarantee remedial jobs?
Yes. Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee.
Can I do 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.
Can you take off two layers of silicone?
Yes. Stripping layered sealant takes longer than a normal reseal, but it’s what makes the new bead last.
What does remedial sealant cost?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote and we will talk you through it.
What sealant work cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- A bath, tray or worktop that moves until it’s properly fixed
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- A tray or bath that’s cracked
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think.
What we seal
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Expansion joints
- Failed movement joints
What happens if it’s left?
Stripping out botched sealant adds time to a reseal, but not by much: it takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. It’s far less disruption than resealing the same joint again and again. Older cottages and farmhouses around Boreham Street can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
