- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Run the fan after every shower
- Never seal over old silicone
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
- Act on a lifting corner straight away
Clean gently: a mild cleaner and a soft cloth, with no blades or scourers.
Leaks through failed sealant grow over time. Each use pushes more water behind the bead, into floors, walls or ceilings. Early action keeps it to a sealant job.

If you have leaks that keep coming back after resealing and movement joints that have split or pulled away, we can help, whatever the surface.

Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the 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.
What affects the quote in Pattiswick
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether the work is at height
- The size of the job
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.
What to tell us for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Roughly how big the job is

Surface by surface
Leaking trays & enclosures
When failed joints are the cause, they’re all cut out and renewed, tray edges and screen profiles included.
Worktops & kitchens
A loose worktop splits its sealant. It needs fixing down first, and we’ll tell you if we find it.
What happens on the day
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The job generally takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. Somewhere like Pattiswick 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.
- We treat any mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
Before we arrive

What remedial sealant looks like in Pattiswick
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.
Homes close to Church of St Mary The Virgin include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Stisted Church of England Primary Academy, 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.

Do you need remedial sealant in Pattiswick?
How a joint is built matters as much as the product. A bead bonded on three sides, or laid too thick, cannot flex, so it tears when the joint moves. Backing rod or bond-breaker tape prevents it.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
Letting a property close to Braintree Freeport station? Then a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.
