For landlords and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Horsleycross Street
A movement joint stops working when its sealant splits or sets hard. We cut out the failed sealant and set the depth with backing, before resealing with a flexible product suited to the movement. If you’re dealing with black mould underneath the bead and torn expansion joints, we can put it right, on leaking tray & enclosure joints, botched or over-sealed joints and mouldy bath & shower sealant alike.
Homes around Horsleycross Street are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. The work is the same as anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

How the job changes by surface
Movement & expansion joints
A sealant stuck to the back of the joint cannot stretch. Backing stops that, letting the sealant flex between the two faces.
Worktops & kitchens
Kitchen joints hold grease and residue, so cleaning takes longer than in a bathroom.
What remedial sealant looks like in Horsleycross Street
Horsleycross Street is within about 3 miles of the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
Rented homes near Mistley station change hands often, and botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Manningtree High School, 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.

What affects the cost of remedial sealant
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Which sealant suits the joint
- How easy the joints are to reach
- When we can work, for business premises
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it’s useful to know:
- Where the property is
- How we’d reach the joints
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
To get a quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us where the job is and what the problem looks like. You will have a clear quote before work begins.
What happens if it’s left?
A failed seal rarely means a new bathroom. When the fittings are sound, stripping and resealing the joints is often enough. Where something else has failed, you will hear it from us. In a small place like Horsleycross Street, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Why us?
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet

The process
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. Somewhere like Horsleycross Street needs a little journey planning: 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.
- 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.
- Once dry, a suitable sealant is applied and tooled.
- We give you the cure time and explain what caused the failure.
How to prepare
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

What else we do in Horsleycross Street
Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Keep the room well ventilated
- Never seal over old silicone
- Don’t point over movement joints
- Act on a lifting corner right away
If the joint ever needs renewing, have it cut out, not sealed over. Over-sealing is how many remedial jobs start.
Mould under a second layer of sealant keeps growing out of sight. When it finally shows, the whole bead needs to come out.
What we can’t put right
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Water damage behind tiles that needs a tiler
- Movement from fittings that aren’t supported
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacing)
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal

What do you put in the joint?

How long does remedial resealing take?
That depends on how many layers there are and how many joints. You will have a timescale before any work begins.
Do I have to be there?
