How we handle remedial sealant in Ickford
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. We work on leaking tray & enclosure joints, mouldy bath & shower sealant and shrunken worktop sealant, and people most often call us about sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface and kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop.
Somewhere as small as Ickford, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

What we are called out for in Ickford
Some joints fail because water is reaching them from behind. A slow leak behind the tiles soaks the joint from the back, and the sealant lifts or goes mouldy from underneath.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
- Beads that never stuck properly
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
If you look after a building such as Ickford 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 your quote should include
- How long the guarantee is
- Whether you can choose the colour
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- How hidden problems are handled
Remedial sealant in Ickford: local notes
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
For an older house near a landmark such as Parish Church of St Nicholas, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

Different surfaces, different methods
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Mould often spreads under the bead as well as through it. Once it’s all removed, the joint is treated.
Movement & expansion joints
Some movement joints have been filled with mortar or grout. Where it can be raked out, we replace it with flexible sealant.

Questions from Ickford
Do you cover Ickford for remedial sealant?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Ickford is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Is remedial sealant in Ickford guaranteed?
All our work, in Ickford and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Which products do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
What happens if the problem is the tray or the plumbing?
That’s why we look for the cause first. If the fault is elsewhere, you’ll know before any work is done.
When something else is needed
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Failed tanking or loose tiles behind the sealant
- Older mastics that may need an asbestos check before removal
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacing)
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think.

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.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
What happens on the day
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The work itself takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. Somewhere like Ickford needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. 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.
- Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off.
- Mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- The joint is tooled and you are told about anything else we found.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
