- We protect the surfaces around the joint.
- Every layer of failed sealant is stripped out.

What remedial sealant looks like in Easthorpe
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
For landlords with property near Marks Tey station, botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.

Surface by surface
Windows & doors
A frame that keeps leaking may not be the mastic. We check the joint and tell you if it looks to be something else.
Over-sealed & botched joints
Previous removal attempts can leave scratches or gouges. We take care not to make it worse, and tell you about any damage we find.
When to call us in Easthorpe
How a joint is built matters as much as the product. A bead bonded on three sides, or laid too thick, cannot flex, and tears at the first real movement. Backing sets the depth and stops that.
The problems people normally mention when they call are:
- Over-sealed joints coming away
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
Questions to ask before booking
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Whether you can choose the colour
- What the cure time is

Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Deal with small splits early
- Check trays and worktops do not move
- Never seal over old silicone
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
Leave the new joint to cure fully before it gets wet or moves: generally around 24 hours, or as long as we advise.
A split movement joint lets rain into walls and floors, and left long enough, the edges of the joint can crumble. A joint with sound edges is far easier to reseal.
