Questions from Great Tey
Do you cover smaller places like Great Tey?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you cover Great Tey for remedial sealant?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Great Tey is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Can you strip sealant from an acrylic tray safely?
Yes. Residue is removed with a product suited to the surface rather than scraped hard.
Will you leave a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.

Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. For a quick quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a short description of the job.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access.
Remedial sealant in Great Tey
Some sealant jobs are not a simple reseal, because someone has already had a go. Silicone laid over silicone, smears across tiles, the wrong product in a moving joint or mould trapped underneath all have to come out before the joint can be done properly. Common call-outs are for a second bead peeling off the first and sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface, across mouldy bath & shower sealant, failed movement joints and leaking tray & enclosure joints.
Around Great Tey, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Leave it or put it right?
Adding more sealant is the usual quick fix, and it rarely works. It cannot bond to what’s underneath, so the leak carries on and there’s now more to remove. Around Great Tey, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
- Act on a lifting corner straight away
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
Ventilation keeps mould away from the new bead: use the extractor or open a window after showering.
Mould under a second layer of sealant keeps growing out of sight. By the time it shows through, the joint is well past saving.

What affects the cost of remedial sealant
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- The number and length of the joints
- Which sealant suits the joint
- When we can work, for business premises
- The old material and how stubborn it is
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you’re unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
What we need to know
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Whether it has been sealed before
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- The address or postcode of the job
Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location and its rough size. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand, and we will come back to you with a quote.
Great Tey homes and their sealant
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
In the older streets around Church of St Barnabas, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. Letting a property close to Chappel & Wakes Colne station? Then failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.

DIY versus a professional finish
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
