Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Great Notley
Some sealant jobs are not a simple reseal, because someone has already had a go. New sealant over old, smeared beads, unsuitable products and hidden mould all need stripping out. If you have torn expansion joints and decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower, we can help.
Homes around Great Notley range from older cottages to more recent houses. In older homes, walls and floors can move a little more, so the right flexible sealant matters.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Great Notley as everywhere else we work.

Common problems we fix in Great Notley
All sealant wears out eventually. Over the years it shrinks, hardens and gets colonised by mould, especially in damp, poorly aired rooms. At that point it has to come out.
People usually contact us after spotting one of these:
- Torn expansion joints
- Black mould underneath the bead
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
If you let a flat or house near Braintree station, failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.

- The joint is degreased and checked for movement and leaks.

Why deal with it now?
Remedial work takes longer than a straight reseal, but rarely a lot: the work 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. Homes in smaller places like Great Notley can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before any work starts.

Common questions in Great Notley
Do you take on hotel work around Great Notley?

Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Someone resealed my shower and it’s leaking again. Can you help?
Yes, normally. First we check whether the leak is the sealant at all, then strip and reseal the joints.
What information do you need?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few photos.

Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we’re fully insured too.

Should I try DIY first?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
- Keep the room well ventilated
- Don’t wait for a small gap to become a leak
Leave the new joint to cure fully before it gets wet or moves: normally around 24 hours, or as long as we advise.
Warning signs: peeling layers, mould showing through the bead, leaks after showering or cracks in a movement joint. Any of them means it’s time for remedial work.
When something else is needed
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before any work starts. It will not solve:
- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
- Cracks in the fitting rather than the joint
- Movement from fittings that aren’t supported
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we seal

What else we do in Great Notley
Different surfaces, different methods
Windows & doors
Frames resealed over the top end up with hard, layered mastic. All of it is cut out and the frame and wall cleaned.
Over-sealed & botched joints
Botched joints sometimes have damaged edges from earlier scraping. We work carefully to avoid adding to it, and point out any existing damage.
Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
What remedial sealant looks like in Great Notley
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. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Great Notley. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room.
Schools such as White Court School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. For an older house near a landmark such as The Church in Great Notley, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
