How we handle remedial sealant in East Hanney
If a joint has been resealed and is leaking again, it’s worth a proper look. Send pictures when you ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email. We are often asked to deal with black mould underneath the bead and floor or wall movement joints that have failed, on leaking tray & enclosure joints, mouldy bath & shower sealant and botched or over-sealed joints.
Around East Hanney, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. The work is the same as anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

- Movement from fittings that aren’t supported
- Plumbing leaks behind walls or under trays
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we seal

Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
- Keep the room well ventilated
- Don’t add new sealant on top of old
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
Don’t let anyone seal over it later. New silicone does not bond to old, so the old bead should always come out first.
Warning signs: peeling layers, mould showing through the bead, leaks after showering or cracks in a movement joint. Each one is worth getting looked at.
Remedial sealant in East Hanney: local notes
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
Schools such as St James Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and 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.

DIY versus a professional finish
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, 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.

What we are called out for in East Hanney
Some joints fail because water is reaching them from behind. A leaking valve, a failed waste or cracked grout feeds water behind the bead, so the silicone goes mouldy or lets go.
The problems people usually mention when they call are:
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
- Over-sealed joints coming away
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
If you live in an older home near Church of St James, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

- How hidden problems are handled

What happens on the day
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. It normally takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. Somewhere like East Hanney needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We start by checking the joint for movement, leaks and the reason it failed.
- All the old sealant comes out, including any layers underneath.
- Next, any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- Moving joints get backing and a flexible sealant to suit.
- Finally we finish the joint and talk you through what we found.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Over-sealed & botched joints
Previous removal attempts can leave scratches or gouges. We work carefully to avoid adding to it, and point out any existing damage.
