Why deal with it now?
Mould under a bead cannot be reached by cleaning. The layers have to come out, so the joint can be treated and resealed. Older cottages and farmhouses around Lanham Green can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.

About our remedial sealant in Lanham Green
The wrong product in the wrong joint will not last, however tidy it looks. Out it comes, and in goes a sealant suited to the job. If you are dealing with black mould underneath the bead and kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop, we can help.
In a village or hamlet like Lanham Green, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Lanham Green: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Lanham Green?
Yes, Lanham Green is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
I let a flat near Cressing station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
My shower still leaks after a reseal. Can you sort it?
Yes. We will take all the sealant out, look for why it failed and reseal it properly.
Someone sealed over the old bead. Can you fix it?
Yes. It’s slower than a standard reseal, because every layer has to come out cleanly, but it’s what makes the new bead last.
Do you fix expansion and movement joints?
Yes. Backing sets the depth and stops the sealant sticking to the back.
How much does remedial sealant cost in Lanham Green?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing and where.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
Remedial sealant around Lanham Green
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
For landlords with property near Cressing station, a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Cressing Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Do you need remedial sealant in Lanham Green?
One of the commonest remedial jobs is sealant on top of sealant. New silicone can’t stick to the old bead, so the new layer peels, and damp and mould settle between them.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
Homes close to Parish Church of All Saints include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
- Movement from fittings that are not supported
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacing)
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Failed movement joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Expansion joints
DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Clean sealant with mild products only
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
- Never seal over old silicone
- Run the fan after every shower
Keep an eye on the joint at first, particularly where the original failure was caused by movement. If anything changes, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Movement joints that have split let water into the structure, and the longer it’s left, the more the joint edges break down. A joint with sound edges is far easier to reseal.
