About our remedial sealant in Green Street
Some sealant jobs aren’t 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. If you are dealing with leaks that keep coming back after resealing and products that weren’t meant for the joint, we can put it right.
Being in a small place like Green Street makes no difference to the job itself: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Green Street: your questions answered
Do you cover Green Street for remedial sealant?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Green Street is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing.
Will you come out to Green Street?
Yes. Green Street is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few photos.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Cure times vary by product and the conditions. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Can you strip sealant from an acrylic tray safely?
Yes. The old bead is cut and lifted with tools that suit the surface, then clean off the residue. We point out any damage that’s already there.
Can I do it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
My shower still leaks after a reseal. Can you sort it?
Yes. We check it’s the sealant and not the tray, valve or waste, then the joints are stripped and resealed.

How the visit works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. Somewhere like Green Street 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.
- Surrounding tiles, trays and frames are protected first.
- Every layer of failed sealant is stripped out.
- The joint is degreased and checked for movement and leaks.
- Once dry, a suitable sealant is applied and tooled.
- We give you the cure time and explain what caused the failure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

When something else is needed
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A tray or bath that’s cracked
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Failed movement joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Expansion joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Shrunken worktop sealant
Do you need remedial sealant in Green Street?
Even good sealant ages. 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.
The most common problems we see are:
- A second bead peeling off the first
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
Homes close to Church of St Mary the Virgin include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
Before booking anyone
- What the cure time is
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Are they insured?
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
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: sealant lifting at the ends, a second bead visible on top of the first, black mould under the silicone, or stains below a bathroom. Any of them means it’s time for remedial work.
What remedial sealant looks like in Green Street
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
For landlords with property near Ingatestone station, botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants. Managing a site like Ingatestone Infant School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Landmarks near Green Street
In Green Street, that means homes and buildings near Anglo European School and the streets around them. The nearest railway station is Ingatestone station, about 1.5 miles east. Other landmarks nearby include Brentwood Community Hospital (3.8 miles south-west). The countryside around Green Street includes Norsey Wood.
Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
What happens if it’s left?
Leaks that are left keep doing damage out of sight: soaked floorboards, ceiling stains below and blown plaster. Dealing with the joint now is a small job by comparison. Around Green Street, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Doing several joints on one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.
