Remedial sealant in Cold Norton, done properly
A movement joint stops working when its sealant splits or sets hard. The old sealant comes out and backing goes in to control the depth, before resealing with a flexible product suited to the movement. We’re often asked to deal with decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower and sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface, on expansion joints, shrunken worktop sealant and failed movement joints.
Somewhere as small as Cold Norton, 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.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

How the job changes by surface
Movement & expansion joints
Bonding on three sides is a common reason movement joints tear. Backing rod or bond-breaker tape prevents it, letting the sealant flex between the two faces.
Leaking trays & enclosures
When failed joints are the cause, they’re all cut out and renewed, tray edges and screen profiles included.

There’s no need to move everything out, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out for a typical job. In a small place like Cold Norton, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.

- Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.
- We treat any mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- The joint is tooled and you are told about anything else we found.

Cold Norton homes and their sealant
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.
If you live in an older home near St Stephen's Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Cold Norton Primary School, washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes. If you let a flat or house near North Fambridge station, failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.

Why deal with it now?
It’s easy to scratch acrylic, enamel or an uPVC frame cutting out old sealant, and the residue left behind stops the next bead bonding. Careful stripping is where most of our time goes. Older cottages and farmhouses around Cold Norton can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber 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. You’ll know the price before we begin.

Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
We also work for property managers and facilities teams. We can quote a run of properties together, and we’re fully insured.
