For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We protect the surfaces around the joint.
- Every layer of failed sealant is stripped out.
- The joint is degreased and checked for movement and leaks.
- Once dry, a suitable sealant is applied and tooled.

About our remedial sealant in Ellesborough
If a joint has been resealed and is leaking again, it’s worth a proper look. It helps to have photos when you call 0345 464 0079 or email us. Typical jobs include leaks that keep coming back after resealing and torn expansion joints, across mouldy bath & shower sealant, leaking tray & enclosure joints and failed movement joints.
In a village or hamlet like Ellesborough, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

Different surfaces, different methods
Leaking trays & enclosures
When failed joints are the cause, they’re all cut out and renewed, including the screen profile and tray edges.
Windows & doors
Failed frame mastic is often hard, cracked and in several layers. All of it is cut out and the frame and wall cleaned before backing and resealing.
Honest limits
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
- Water damage behind tiles that needs a tiler
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Ellesborough
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
For landlords with property near Little Kimble station, botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants. In the older streets around Church of St Peter and St Paul, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. If you look after a building such as Great Kimble Church of England School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Find out why the sealant failed first
- Check ceilings under showers for marks
- Don’t add new sealant on top of old
- Keep the room well ventilated
Keep an eye on the joint at first, particularly where the original failure was caused by movement. If anything changes, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Leaks through failed sealant grow over time. Each use pushes more water behind the bead, into floors, walls or ceilings. Sorting it early limits the damage.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Ellesborough, several properties can go on one quote. Send us the addresses and the work at each.
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Why act early in Ellesborough
Another bead over the top will not fix a failed joint. It cannot bond to what’s underneath, so the leak carries on and there’s now more to remove. In a small place like Ellesborough, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

Questions from Ellesborough
I let a flat near Little Kimble station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Ellesborough?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is remedial work guaranteed?
Yes, with our one-year guarantee. Where we’ve flagged another fault, it needs fixing for the joint to last.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is normally more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we are fully insured too.
Will there be a smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.
Is it messy?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Which products do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice.
