Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Earls Colne
Water on the floor does not always mean failed silicone. Cracked trays, leaking wastes and faulty valves often look like a sealant problem. If that’s what we find, we’ll tell you rather than reseal something that won’t fix it. Common call-outs are for over-sealed joints coming away and kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop, across leaking tray & enclosure joints, botched or over-sealed joints and expansion joints.
In and around Earls Colne, older properties sit alongside newer ones. In older homes, walls and floors can move a little more, so the right flexible sealant matters.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you’re covered after we have gone.

- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.

For landlords and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. Several properties can be quoted together.
We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
Different surfaces, different methods
Over-sealed & botched joints
Every layer has to come out, and silicone residue is cleaned off the tiles too. Only a clean joint will take a new bead.
Leaking trays & enclosures
A cracked tray, failed valve or leaking waste needs a different fix. We’ll tell you what we find.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Earls Colne
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
Managing a site like Earls Colne Primary School and Nursery? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. In the older streets around Parish Church of St Andrew, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. If you let a flat or house near Chappel & Wakes Colne station, failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.

Why deal with it now?
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. Homes in smaller places like Earls Colne can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first.

Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Deal with small splits early
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
- Never seal over old silicone
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
If we’ve found a cause, such as a loose tray or a leaking waste, get it fixed, because the new sealant cannot hold back a problem underneath.
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.
When it is not the sealant
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Plumbing leaks behind walls or under trays
- Older mastics that may need an asbestos check before removal
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacing)
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly.

What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before we start. The work normally takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. For a job in Earls Colne, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- Surrounding tiles, trays and frames are protected first.
- The botched or failed sealant is cut away completely.
- We clean and degrease the joint and look for signs of movement or water.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
