About our remedial sealant in Norton Heath
Remedial work is what we do when sealant has failed or been done badly. Silicone laid over silicone, smears across tiles, the wrong product in a moving joint or mould trapped underneath all have to come out. If you are dealing with kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop and black mould underneath the bead, we can put it right.
Homes around Norton Heath are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats. The work is the same as anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

How the job changes by surface
Movement & expansion joints
A movement joint must be able to stretch. We remove the failed sealant, fit backing and reseal.
Over-sealed & botched joints
Every layer has to come out, and silicone residue is cleaned off the tiles too. Only a clean joint will take a new bead.
Norton Heath homes and their sealant
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
If you look after a building such as Blackmore Primary School, washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of All Saints, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

Common problems we fix in Norton Heath
Joints that move need sealant that can stretch. A bath that flexes, a tray that rocks or a building joint that opens and closes will split a rigid or thin bead.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
Rented homes near Ingatestone station change hands often, and failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.
What your quote should include
- How hidden problems are handled
- How the colour is chosen
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- The length of the guarantee

How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
- Never seal over old silicone
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
- Do not point over movement joints
Go easy on the new sealant: no scraping, scouring pads or harsh chemicals.
Signs to act on: sealant lifting at the ends, a second bead visible on top of the first, black mould under the silicone, or stains below a bathroom. Each one is worth getting looked at.
How it works
At the end, we look at the finished work together and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself normally takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out, depending on the size of the job. In a small place like Norton Heath, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- 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.
- The joint is tooled and you are told about anything else we found.
How to prepare
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on

Advice
Why it’s worth doing now in Norton Heath
Repeat failures have a cause. Finding it, whether movement, water from elsewhere or an unsuitable product, ends the cycle. In a small place like Norton Heath, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
We do not show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will talk you through it.
