How we handle remedial sealant in Newney Green
Movement and expansion joints fail when the sealant cannot stretch. We cut out the failed sealant and set the depth with backing, before resealing with a flexible product suited to the movement. Typical jobs include thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles and caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area, across mouldy bath & shower sealant, expansion joints and failed movement joints.
Homes around Newney Green are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats. The work is the same as anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you are covered after we have gone.

What the job involves on each surface
Worktops & kitchens
Kitchen joints hold grease and residue, so we spend extra time cleaning before resealing.
Leaking trays & enclosures
Where the joints are the problem, every bead is stripped and resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone, including the screen profile and tray edges.
When to call us in Newney Green
One of the commonest remedial jobs is sealant on top of sealant. New silicone cannot stick to the old bead, so the top layer lifts and water and mould collect between the two.
People usually contact us after spotting something like this:
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
- Beads that never stuck properly
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- Over-sealed joints coming away
Homes close to Church of St Michael and All Angels include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
Before you book anyone
- The length of the guarantee
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Are they insured?
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
When it is not the sealant
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
- Cracks in the fitting rather than the joint
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think before booking.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Failed movement joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Expansion joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints
What we do, step by step
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the job takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied in most cases. In a small place like Newney Green, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We look at how the sealant has failed and check for movement or a leak path.
- All the old sealant comes out, including any layers underneath.
- Next, any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- Moving joints get backing and a flexible sealant to suit.
- Finally we finish the joint and talk you through what we found.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

- The size of the job
- The type of sealant required
- When we can work, for business premises

Can I do it myself?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
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.

What else we do in Newney Green
Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Don’t add new sealant on top of old
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
- Deal with small splits early
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
Where we have pointed out another fault, have it put right, or the new joint may fail again.
A failing joint rarely gets better on its own. Every shower or downpour sends more water through, into floors, walls or ceilings. Early action keeps it to a sealant job.
Newney Green homes and their sealant
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
Rented homes near Chelmsford station change hands often, and a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Hylands School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
