Bathrooms and kitchens in Radwell
Most of the South East has hard water, 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 All Saints include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. Schools such as Norton St Nicholas CofE (VA) Primary School are buildings too, and 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.

Remedial sealant in Radwell, done properly
Water on the floor does not always mean failed silicone. Cracked trays, leaking wastes and faulty valves often look like a sealant problem. If that is what we find, we will tell you rather than reseal something that won’t fix it. We work on botched or over-sealed joints, failed movement joints and leaking tray & enclosure joints, and common reasons people get in touch are decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower and over-sealed joints coming away.
Somewhere as small as Radwell, 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.

Leave it or put it right?
A joint that has failed twice will fail again unless the cause is dealt with. Taking time to find the cause, whether it’s movement, a leak or the wrong product, is what stops it happening again. Around Radwell, 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 is why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.

What we’re called out for in Radwell
Joints that move need sealant that can stretch. Flexing baths, rocking trays and building movement joints split any bead that’s too stiff or too thin.
People generally contact us when they notice something like this:
- Over-sealed joints coming away
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
Letting a property close to Baldock station? Then botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.

For landlords and businesses

Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too. Several sites can be quoted together, and we’re fully insured for the work.
DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Deal with small splits early
- Never seal over old silicone
- Keep the room well ventilated
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
If the joint ever needs renewing, have it cut out, not sealed over. Over-sealing is how many remedial jobs start, so the old bead should always come out first.
Mould under a second layer of sealant keeps growing out of sight. By the time it shows through, the joint is well past saving.
What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself normally takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out, depending on the size of the job. For a village or hamlet like Radwell, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- 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.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

How the job changes by surface
Worktops & kitchens
Old kitchen sealant pulls back from the wall over time. It’s cut out, degreased and resealed in a colour to suit.
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Repeat mould normally points to a damp, poorly aired room. Along with resealing, we’ll mention if the room needs better ventilation.

What information do you need?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
What if resealing won’t fix my leak?
That’s why we look for the cause first. If we find the leak is elsewhere, we tell you before going further.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.

Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
