Each is stripped back and done again properly. If you’re dealing with beads that never stuck properly and wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones, we can put it right, on leaking tray & enclosure joints, mouldy bath & shower sealant and expansion joints alike.
Around Kinsbourne 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.

Do you need remedial sealant in Kinsbourne Green?
Sealant needs a clean, dry surface with no grease on it. Residue, moisture or dust left in the joint weaken the bond, so it starts lifting sooner than it should.
The most common problems we see are:
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
- A second bead peeling off the first
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
Rented homes near Harpenden station change hands often, and failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.
Questions to ask before booking
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- How long the guarantee is
- When the joint can take water or movement

Common questions in Kinsbourne Green
Do you work for landlords with property near Harpenden station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Can you do remedial sealant in Kinsbourne Green?

Should I try DIY first?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
When is the sealant fully cured?
That depends on the sealant used, so please follow the time we give you.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we’re fully insured too.
What do you put in the joint?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We will tell you what we are using and why.
Can I do it myself?
If you’re 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.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Surface by surface
Over-sealed & botched joints
Botched joints sometimes have damaged edges from earlier scraping. We work carefully to avoid adding to it, and tell you about any damage we find.
Leaking trays & enclosures
A shower that leaks after resealing often has a tray that moves or an enclosure sealed on the wrong side. We check both before we reseal.
How it works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The job generally takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. For a village or hamlet like Kinsbourne Green, 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.
- We look at how the sealant has failed and check for movement or a leak path.
- Every layer of old sealant is cut and cleaned out.
- We clean the joint, treat any mould and let it dry.
- Moving joints get backing and a flexible sealant to suit.
- We tool the joint and tell you about anything else that needs attention.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Do not add new sealant on top of old
- Don’t wait for a small gap to become a leak
- Find out why the sealant failed first
- Check trays and worktops don’t move
Do not let anyone seal over it later. Over-sealing is how many remedial jobs start, so the old bead should always come out first.
Movement joints that have split let water into the structure, and left long enough, the edges of the joint can crumble. Resealing while the edges are sound is simpler.
