What else we do in Great Braxted
Common problems we fix in Great Braxted
Sealant needs a clean, dry surface with no grease on it. Residue, moisture or dust left in the joint weaken the bond, so it starts lifting sooner than it should.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
- Over-sealed joints coming away
- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
If you let a flat or house near Witham station, botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.
What your quote should include
- Who turns up on the day
- Is VAT in the price?
- How the colour is chosen
- What the cure time is
What happens on the day
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we are treating. Expect the work to take a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out, and we explain the cure time before we leave. Somewhere like Great Braxted needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. 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.
- Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.
- Mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The right product goes in, with backing where the joint moves.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Tell us about any water getting in

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
Where we have pointed out another fault, have it put right, because the new sealant cannot hold back a problem underneath.
Don’t keep resealing the same joint. Get the cause found first, or the next bead will go the same way.
What affects the cost of remedial sealant
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The amount of work
- The number of rooms or windows
- Access and height
We do not show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- The rough size of the job
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
Call for a quick quote, or send an email if you’d rather. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we will explain what’s involved and give you a clear quote.
Leave it or put it right?
Remedial work takes longer than a straight reseal, but rarely a lot: it takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. Compared with chasing the same leak every few months, it’s time well spent. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Great Braxted, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.
Why us?
- A 12-month guarantee on all work
- ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- More than 20 years in sealant work
Great Braxted: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords with property near Witham station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Will you come out to Great Braxted?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
How do I get a quote for remedial sealant in Great Braxted?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing and where.
Is it messy?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured.
Someone sealed over the old bead. Can you fix it?
Yes. Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off, before resealing with a single bead.
Remedial sealant in Great Braxted: 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 an older house near a landmark such as Church of All Saints, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
