About our remedial sealant in Nayland
A joint that keeps failing usually has a reason. Movement, the wrong product or a leak from somewhere else will beat any new bead. Finding that cause comes before any new sealant. We work on shrunken worktop sealant, leaking tray & enclosure joints and expansion joints, and the jobs we see most are products that weren’t meant for the joint and dark patches showing through the sealant.
In a village or hamlet like Nayland, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

Why deal with it now?
Leaks that are left keep doing damage out of sight: soaked floorboards, ceiling stains below and blown plaster. Dealing with the joint now is a small job by comparison. Around Nayland, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

What remedial sealant looks like in Nayland
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St James, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. Managing a site like Nayland Primary School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. For landlords with property near Bures station, failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.

Should I try it myself first?
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 does not work out, we can still put it right.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Nayland: your questions answered

Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Can you do remedial sealant in Nayland?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Nayland is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Can failed expansion joints be resealed?
Yes. We cut out the failed sealant, fit backing and reseal with a flexible product.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
How do I get a quote for remedial sealant in Nayland?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing and where.
Is there any odour?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Opening a window helps.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
My shower still leaks after a reseal. Can you sort it?
Yes. We check it’s the sealant and not the tray, valve or waste, then the joints are stripped and resealed.
When something else is needed
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A bath, tray or worktop that moves until it’s properly fixed
- Water damage behind tiles that needs a tiler
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Leaking trays & enclosures
If the tray is cracked, or the leak is from the valve or waste, sealant will not fix it. We say so rather than reseal.
Windows & doors
Failed frame mastic is often hard, cracked and in several layers. All of it is cut out and the frame and wall cleaned before backing and resealing.
How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
- Check trays and worktops don’t move
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
- Deal with small splits early
Leave the new joint to cure fully before it gets wet or moves: usually around 24 hours, or as long as we advise.
Mould trapped under over-sealed joints spreads unseen. By the time it shows through, the joint is well past saving.
What we do, step by step
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The work itself takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out from start to finish. Somewhere like Nayland needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- The failure is looked at first, so we know whether it’s sealant, movement or water from elsewhere.
- Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off.
- Mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The right product goes in, with backing where the joint moves.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Move anything stored near the joints
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
