About our remedial sealant in New England
If a joint has been resealed and is leaking again, it’s worth a proper look. Send photos when you call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email, and say how long ago it was last done. We work on shrunken worktop sealant, expansion joints and leaking tray & enclosure joints, and common reasons people get in touch are kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop and thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles.
Being in a small place like New England makes no difference to the job itself: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. Once we are there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
Every job comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Essex.

What happens on the day
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we don’t rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. For a village or hamlet like New England, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We protect the surfaces around the joint.
- Every layer of failed sealant is stripped out.
- The joint is degreased and checked for movement and leaks.
- Once dry, a suitable sealant is applied and tooled.
- You get the cure time and our view on why the joint failed.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Advice
Bathrooms and kitchens in New England
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
In the older streets around Church of St Leonard, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

What affects the quote in New England
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Access and height
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- A few pictures by email, if you can

- Where the job is, and your postcode
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we’ll explain how we’d tackle it. When it suits you, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Common questions in New England
Is there a guarantee on remedial sealant in New England?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Will you come out to New England?
Yes. New England is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you remove sealant that’s been put over old sealant?
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.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We’ve worked for hotels, offices and other businesses, and we are fully insured.
Will you leave a mess?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints.
How long before the joint can be used?
Cure times vary by product and the temperature. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
What the job involves on each 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.
Windows & doors
A frame that keeps leaking may not be the mastic. If the frame joint is not the cause, we will say so.

When to call us in New England
One of the commonest remedial jobs is sealant on top of sealant. New silicone cannot stick to the old bead, so the new layer peels, and damp and mould settle between them.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
Around New England, as everywhere, remedial sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.
