Crockleford Heath questions
I let a flat near Hythe station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Is Crockleford Heath within the area you cover?
Yes. Crockleford Heath is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available for many products, and we’ll agree it with you first.
How long does the work take?
That depends on how many layers there are and how many joints. We’ll tell you before we start.
Should I try DIY first?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Can you reseal a split movement joint?
Yes. The depth is set with backing so the sealant only bonds to the two sides.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Opening a window helps.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Remedial sealant in Crockleford Heath
Some sealant jobs are not a simple reseal, because someone has already had a go. New sealant over old, smeared beads, unsuitable products and hidden mould all have to come out before the joint can be done properly. If you have products that weren’t meant for the joint and torn expansion joints, we can help.
For a small place like Crockleford Heath, remedial sealant is planned like any other job: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. Once we are there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Crockleford Heath homes and their sealant
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you look after a building such as Colchester Academy, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. Rented homes near Hythe station change hands often, and botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.

Honest limits
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Expansion joints
- Failed movement joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints
Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Clean sealant with mild products only
- Don’t point over movement joints
- Check ceilings under showers for marks
- Don’t wait for a small gap to become a leak
Watch the joint over the first few weeks, particularly where the original failure was caused by movement. If anything changes, just call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Movement joints that have split let water into the structure, and left long enough, the edges of the joint can crumble. A joint with sound edges is far easier to reseal.

Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Surface by surface
Over-sealed & botched joints
Botched joints sometimes have damaged edges from earlier scraping. We take care not to make it worse, and point out any existing damage.
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Where mould keeps coming back, ventilation is usually part of the cause. We’ll reseal and tell you if extraction looks to be the issue.
Why it’s worth doing now in Crockleford Heath
Adding more sealant is the usual quick fix, and it rarely works. It does not grip the old layer, leaving the leak in place and one more layer to cut out later. In a small place like Crockleford Heath, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

The process
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. Once we have agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. For a village or hamlet like Crockleford Heath, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- Surrounding tiles, trays and frames are protected first.
- Every layer of failed sealant is stripped out.
- The joint is degreased and checked for movement and leaks.
- New sealant goes in once the joint is dry, and is tooled smooth.
- We give you the cure time and explain what caused the failure.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Tell us if parking is tricky
