Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Elmbridge Village
Two decades of sealant work means we recognise most failures quickly. We are ARBOMaster approved and fully insured, and remedial work carries our 12-month guarantee. We work on leaking tray & enclosure joints, shrunken worktop sealant and expansion joints, and common reasons people get in touch are smears and lumps from a botched reseal and sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared.
Somewhere as small as Elmbridge Village, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Remedial sealant in Elmbridge Village: local notes
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 site and facilities teams at buildings such as Glebelands School, 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.

What we are called out for in Elmbridge Village
One of the commonest remedial jobs is sealant on top of sealant. Silicone doesn’t bond to silicone, so the new layer peels, and damp and mould settle between them.
Look out for any of the following:
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
- Beads that never stuck properly
Around Elmbridge Village, as everywhere, remedial sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.

How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Check ceilings under showers for marks
- Don’t wait for a small gap to become a leak
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
Don’t let anyone seal over it later. New silicone does not bond to old.
Signs to act on: sealant lifting at the ends, a second bead visible on top of the first, black mould under the silicone, or stains below a bathroom. Each one is worth getting looked at.
What we cannot put right
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
- A tray or bath that is cracked
- A bath, tray or worktop that moves until it’s properly fixed
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly.

What happens on the day
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we do not rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. In a small place like Elmbridge Village, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- 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.
- You get the cure time and our view on why the joint failed.
How to prepare
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Advice
DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
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 doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Questions from Elmbridge Village
Do you cover Elmbridge Village for remedial sealant?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Elmbridge Village is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Is Elmbridge Village within the area you cover?
Yes. Elmbridge Village is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you fix expansion and movement joints?
Yes. Backing sets the depth and stops the sealant sticking to the back.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured.
Can you take off two layers of silicone?
Yes. We remove every layer; over-sealing fails because silicone won’t bond to silicone.
How long does the work take?
That depends on how many layers there are and how many joints. You will have a timescale before any work begins.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
What if the leak is not the sealant?
That is why we look for the cause first. If we find the leak is elsewhere, we tell you before going further.
What happens if it’s left?
It’s easy to scratch acrylic, enamel or an uPVC frame cutting out old sealant, and any film left behind stops new sealant sticking. Careful stripping is where most of our time goes. Around Elmbridge Village, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
