Remedial sealant in Nine Ashes
Two decades of sealant work means we recognise most failures quickly. We are fully insured ARBOMaster approved applicators, and remedial work carries our one-year guarantee. We work on mouldy bath & shower sealant, failed movement joints and shrunken worktop sealant, and the jobs we see most are leaks that keep coming back after resealing and a second bead peeling off the first.
Somewhere as small as Nine Ashes, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

DIY versus a professional finish
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
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 doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.

Why it’s worth doing now in Nine Ashes
Hidden water does the most damage: soaked floorboards, ceiling stains below and blown plaster. Dealing with the joint now is a small job by comparison. Around Nine Ashes, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.

- Older mastics that may need an asbestos check before removal
- Movement from fittings that aren’t supported

What happens on the day

If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.

- The botched or failed sealant is cut away completely.
- The joint is degreased and checked for movement and leaks.

- Whether the work is at height
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove

Remedial sealant in Nine Ashes: local notes
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 landlords with property near Ingatestone station, a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty. If you look after a building such as Blackmore Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

FAQs for Nine Ashes
I let a flat near Ingatestone station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Is Nine Ashes in your area for remedial sealant?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Nine Ashes is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Can you strip sealant from an acrylic tray safely?
Yes, with care. The old bead is cut and lifted with tools that suit the surface, and the residue is cleaned away. We point out any damage that’s already there.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes, regularly. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area.
How long before the joint can be used?
It depends on the product and the conditions. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Generally, yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available for many products, and we agree the colour with you before work begins.
Someone resealed my shower and it’s leaking again. Can you help?
Yes. Repeat leaks usually come from over-sealing, movement or water getting in elsewhere, so we find that first.
When to call us in Nine Ashes
All sealant wears out eventually. Over the years it shrinks, hardens and gets colonised by mould. At that point it has to come out.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
In the older streets around Church of St Laurence, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
Questions to ask before you book
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- Who turns up on the day
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
Surface by surface
Worktops & kitchens
A loose worktop splits its sealant. That needs refixing before resealing, and we will tell you if we find it.
Movement & expansion joints
Some movement joints have been filled with mortar or grout. Where it can be raked out, we replace it with flexible sealant.
