Remedial sealant & repairs in Clothall, Hertfordshire
We cover Clothall for removing failed, mouldy or leaking sealant and putting it right. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly and every job guaranteed for a year.

Leave it or put it right?
Repeat failures have a cause. Taking time to find the cause, whether it’s movement, a leak or the wrong product, is what stops it happening again. In a small place like Clothall, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first and give you a clear quote before we start.

Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Clothall
Movement and expansion joints fail when the sealant cannot stretch. The old sealant comes out and backing goes in to control the depth, before resealing with a flexible product suited to the movement. If you are dealing with smears and lumps from a botched reseal and torn expansion joints, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Somewhere as small as Clothall, 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.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Clothall and across Hertfordshire.

DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Remedial sealant around Clothall
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you look after a building such as Weston Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. Homes close to Church of St Mary include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. Letting a property close to Baldock station? Then botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.

What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you. We protect the surfaces around the joints before work begins. The work generally takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. Somewhere like Clothall needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- The failure is looked at first, so we know whether it’s sealant, movement or water from elsewhere.
- 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.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Clear the area around the work

Landlord and commercial work in Clothall
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Deal with small splits early
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
- Keep the room well ventilated
- Check ceilings under showers for marks
Go easy on the new sealant: a mild cleaner and a soft cloth, with no blades or scourers.
Signs to act on: peeling layers, mould showing through the bead, leaks after showering or cracks in a movement joint. Each one is worth getting looked at.
Questions from Clothall
Is Clothall within the area you cover?
Yes, Clothall is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you do remedial sealant in Clothall?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Clothall is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing.
My shower still leaks after a reseal. Can you sort it?
Yes. Repeat leaks normally come from over-sealing, movement or water getting in elsewhere, and we deal with the cause first.
Where are you based?
We are a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
What if resealing will not fix my leak?
Then we explain what we have found. A plumber or fitter may be needed before any new sealant goes on.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Normally, yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available, and we will agree it with you first.
What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will explain our choice.
What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- A tray or bath that’s cracked
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- Movement from fittings that aren’t supported
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Expansion joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Failed movement joints
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
What the job involves on each surface
Over-sealed & botched joints
Thick, smeared sealant looks messy and hides problems. Taking it back shows what’s underneath, then reseal neatly.
Windows & doors
Smeared or badly matched mastic can be cut out and redone neatly, matched to the frame colour.
