Remedial Sealant in Hare Green

- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
- A second bead peeling off the first

What sealant work cannot fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Older mastics that may need an asbestos check before removal
- Cracks in the fitting rather than the joint
- Plumbing leaks behind walls or under trays
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think.

Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Hare Green
Removing failed sealant is the hardest part of the job. We cut out every layer, clear the residue and degrease the surfaces, taking care not to scratch the surfaces around it. New sealant only bonds to a clean, dry joint. We work on leaking tray & enclosure joints, botched or over-sealed joints and expansion joints, and people most often call us about black mould underneath the bead and worktop sealant that has shrunk and split.
Around Hare Green, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats. The work is the same as anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

What happens on the day
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we don’t rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. In a small place like Hare Green, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- The failure is looked at first, so we know whether it’s sealant, movement or water from elsewhere.
- Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off.
- We treat any mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention any tricky access

Remedial sealant around Hare Green
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.
Schools such as St George's Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. Homes close to Church of St George include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

Your questions about remedial sealant in Hare Green
Is Hare Green in your area for remedial sealant?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Hare Green is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Hare Green?
Yes, Hare Green is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can old silicone be taken off without scratching the tiles?
Yes, with care. The old bead is cut and lifted with tools that suit the surface, and the residue is cleaned away. Any existing damage is pointed out before we start.
Do you fix expansion and movement joints?
Yes. We cut out the failed sealant, fit backing and reseal with a flexible product.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Are you insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured for every job we do.
What if resealing will not fix my leak?
We check for that before we reseal. If we find the leak is elsewhere, we tell you before going further.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do, as well as homes. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
How the job changes by surface
Worktops & kitchens
Kitchen joints often have grease and cleaning residue deep in them, so we spend extra time cleaning.
Leaking trays & enclosures
When failed joints are the cause, they’re all cut out and renewed, tray edges and screen profiles included.

Do you need remedial sealant in Hare Green?
Water from somewhere else can ruin a good seal. A slow leak behind the tiles soaks the joint from the back, so the silicone goes mouldy or lets go.
Look out for these signs:
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
- A second bead peeling off the first
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
For landlords with property near Great Bentley station, a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.

DIY versus a professional finish
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.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
What happens if it’s left?
Leaks that are left keep doing damage out of sight: soaked floorboards, ceiling stains below and blown plaster. By comparison, sorting the joint is quick. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Hare Green, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
