About our remedial sealant in Greensted
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 have to come out before the joint can be done properly. If you have floor or wall movement joints that have failed and mould trapped under a layer of silicone, we can put it right, on failed movement joints, mouldy bath & shower sealant and botched or over-sealed joints alike.
Around Greensted, 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: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

The process
Once we are on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. Somewhere as small as Greensted, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We protect the surfaces around the joint.
- Every layer of failed sealant is stripped out.
- The joint is degreased and checked for movement and leaks.
- New sealant goes in once the joint is dry, and is tooled smooth.
- You get the cure time and our view on why the joint failed.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Mention any tricky access

Landlords, agents and businesses in Greensted
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Greensted
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.
Homes close to Greensted Church include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

Different surfaces, different methods
Movement & expansion joints
A movement joint must be able to stretch. We remove the failed sealant, fit backing and reseal.
Over-sealed & botched joints
A botched joint can hide two or three layers of sealant, including the smears and film on surrounding tiles. Only a clean joint will take a new bead.
How we quote for remedial sealant
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The number and length of the joints
- The number of rooms or windows
- The product the joint needs
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Helping us quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to know:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Whether it has been sealed before
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- A few pictures by email, if you can
To get a quote, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the location and a short description of the problem. We will send you a clear quote before any work starts.
When to call us in Greensted
A lot of failed joints have been sealed over rather than replaced. New silicone cannot stick to the old bead, so the top layer lifts and water and mould collect between the two.
Look out for these signs:
- Over-sealed joints coming away
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
Managing a site like Chipping Ongar Primary School? Then washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.

Why it’s worth doing now in Greensted
Spraying mould remover on a sealed-over joint does not reach what’s underneath. The layers have to come out, and the joint treated and dried before resealing. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Greensted, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
