Remedial sealant in Hatford
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 before the joint can be done properly. Typical jobs include floor or wall movement joints that have failed and black mould underneath the bead, on shrunken worktop sealant, failed movement joints and expansion joints.
Around Hatford, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee.

Surface by surface
Movement & expansion joints
Some movement joints have been filled with mortar or grout. We rake that out where it can be removed and seal with a flexible product.
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.
Should I try it myself first?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.

Why it’s worth doing now in Hatford
DIY removal often leaves scratches and a film of residue, and any film left behind stops new sealant sticking. Careful stripping is where most of our time goes. Older cottages and farmhouses around Hatford can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.

When it isn’t the sealant
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before we start. Sealant won’t put right:
- Water damage behind tiles that needs a tiler
- A tray or worktop that needs refixing first
- A tray or bath that’s cracked
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant

- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Failed movement joints
Common problems we fix in Hatford
Water from somewhere else can ruin a good seal. A slow leak behind the tiles soaks the joint from the back, and the sealant lifts or goes mouldy from underneath.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
If you look after a building such as Stanford in the Vale Church of England Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

The process
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we don’t rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. For a village or hamlet like Hatford, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.
- We treat any mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The right product goes in, with backing where the joint moves.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on

Do you take out the old sealant first?
