Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Ivy Hatch
Movement and expansion joints fail when the sealant can’t stretch. The old sealant comes out and backing goes in to control the depth, then a flexible sealant matched to the movement goes in. Common call-outs are for repeat leaks from the same joint and wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones, across botched or over-sealed joints, shrunken worktop sealant and leaking tray & enclosure joints.
Around Ivy Hatch, 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, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

Remedial sealant around Ivy Hatch

In the older streets around Ivy Hatch Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
What we’re called out for in Ivy Hatch
Sealant needs a clean, dry surface with no grease on it. Residue, moisture or dust left in the joint weaken the bond, and the joint starts to come away early.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
- Black mould underneath the bead
- A second bead peeling off the first
Schools such as St Lawrence Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and 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.
Questions to ask before you book
- Which colour the sealant will be

Surface by surface
Over-sealed & botched joints
Previous removal attempts can leave scratches or gouges. We work carefully to avoid adding to it, and point out any existing damage.
Leaking trays & enclosures
A shower that leaks after resealing often has a tray that moves or an enclosure sealed on the wrong side. Both are checked before any new sealant goes on.
When something else is needed
In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- Plumbing leaks behind walls or under trays
- A tray or worktop that needs refixing first
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Expansion joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Failed movement joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
- Keep the room well ventilated
Go easy on the new sealant: a mild cleaner and a soft cloth, with no blades or scourers.
Mould trapped under over-sealed joints spreads unseen. When it finally shows, the whole bead needs to come out.
