How it works
We bring everything the job needs with us. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. For a village or hamlet like Fordham Heath, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- The failure is looked at first, so we know whether it’s sealant, movement or water from elsewhere.
- Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off.
- We treat any mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The right product goes in, with backing where the joint moves.
- The joint is tooled and you are told about anything else we found.
How to prepare
- Mention any tricky access
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
About our remedial sealant in Fordham Heath
If a joint fails again and again, something is causing it. A tray that moves, a worktop that is not fixed, the wrong sealant or water getting in elsewhere will beat any new bead. Finding that cause comes before any new sealant. If you have decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower and kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
For a small place like Fordham Heath, remedial sealant is planned like any other job: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

What remedial sealant looks like in Fordham Heath
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
In the older streets around All Saints Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. If you let a flat or house near Marks Tey station, failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.

Common problems we fix in Fordham Heath
Water from somewhere else can ruin a good seal. 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 normally mention when they call are:
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
- Beads that never stuck properly
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Holy Trinity CofE Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- The length of the guarantee

- Which colour the sealant will be
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.
Leaking trays & enclosures
Repeat shower leaks often come from a tray that flexes or an enclosure sealed in the wrong place. Both are checked before any new sealant goes on.
Why it’s worth doing now in Fordham Heath
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 Fordham Heath, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.

Your questions about remedial sealant in Fordham Heath
Will you come out to Fordham Heath?
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.
I let a flat near Marks Tey station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners, and several properties can be quoted together. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do you fix expansion and movement joints?
Yes. Failed movement joints are cut out and resealed with backing and a flexible sealant suited to the movement.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
We help you choose a colour that suits, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The product needed can limit the range.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
What does remedial sealant cost?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
How we quote for remedial sealant
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether the work is at height
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The size of the job
- Any mould that needs treating
Combining jobs into one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We’ll give you a clear quote for the lot.
What we need to know
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- The rough size of the job
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add photos by email if you can.
When something else is needed
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacing)
- Movement from fittings that aren’t supported
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think before booking.
