Why act early in Gaston Green
Leaks that are left keep doing damage out of sight: wet floors, stained ceilings and swollen worktops. Dealing with the joint now is a small job by comparison. Older cottages and farmhouses around Gaston Green can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.

Do you need remedial sealant in Gaston Green?
Even good sealant ages. Over the years it shrinks, hardens and gets colonised by mould. At that point it has to come out.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
For landlords with property near Sawbridgeworth station, a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.
What to look for in a quote
- What product goes in the joint
- What insurance they hold
- What preparation is included
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first

How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
- Do not wait for a small gap to become a leak
Leave the new joint to cure fully before it gets wet or moves: follow the cure time we give you.
Movement joints that have split let water into the structure, and the longer it’s left, the more the joint edges break down. A joint with sound edges is far easier to reseal.
Your questions about remedial sealant in Gaston Green
Will you come out to Gaston Green?
Yes. Gaston Green 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.
I let a flat near Sawbridgeworth station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
How long before the joint can be used?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We’ll give you the cure time for the product we used before we leave.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator and we are fully insured too.
Can old silicone be taken off without scratching the tiles?
Yes. We avoid heavy scraping and use the right cleaner for each surface, so the new sealant bonds cleanly.
How do I get a quote for remedial sealant in Gaston Green?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You will get a clear quote before we start.
Someone sealed over the old bead. Can you fix it?
Yes. Both layers come out; new silicone does not bond to old silicone, which is why over-sealing fails.
Where are you based?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
How the job changes by surface
Worktops & kitchens
Kitchen joints often have grease and cleaning residue deep in them, so we spend extra time cleaning.
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Black mould inside the bead will not scrub out. The sealant is cut out completely, the joint treated with a mould remover and dried before anti-fungal sanitary silicone goes in.
What remedial sealant looks like in Gaston Green
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.
Schools such as Spellbrook CofE Primary School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. In the older streets around Church of St Mary the Virgin, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
