What we do, step by step

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.
- We clean and degrease the joint and look for signs of movement or water.

Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Bradwell
Some sealant jobs aren’t a simple reseal, because someone has already had a go. New sealant over old, smeared beads, unsuitable products and hidden mould all need stripping out. Typical jobs include leaks that keep coming back after resealing and products that weren’t meant for the joint, on expansion joints, botched or over-sealed joints and leaking tray & enclosure joints.
Around Bradwell, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.

Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
- Check trays and worktops do not move
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
- Run the fan after every shower
Don’t let anyone seal over it later. Over-sealing is how many remedial jobs start, so the old bead should always come out first.
A split movement joint lets rain into walls and floors, and the longer it’s left, the more the joint edges break down. A joint with sound edges is far easier to reseal.

Smeared or badly matched mastic can be cut out and redone neatly, in a colour that suits the frame.
Worktops & kitchens
Kitchen joints often have grease and cleaning residue deep in them, so cleaning takes longer than in a bathroom before resealing.
Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
When to call us in Bradwell
How a joint is built matters as much as the product. Sealant packed too deep, or stuck to the back of the joint as well as the sides, cannot stretch, and tears at the first real movement. Backing rod or bond-breaker tape prevents it.
People generally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
In the older streets around Parish Church of the Holy Trinity, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
