How we handle remedial sealant in Roe Green
Not every leak is a sealant leak. Cracked trays, leaking wastes and faulty valves often look like a sealant problem. When the fault is elsewhere, we say so instead of resealing for the sake of it. We work on shrunken worktop sealant, failed movement joints and botched or over-sealed joints, and common reasons people get in touch are mould trapped under a layer of silicone and wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones.
Somewhere as small as Roe Green, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after we’ve gone.

How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
- Deal with small splits early
- Do not point over movement joints
Clean gently: no scraping, scouring pads or harsh chemicals.
Mould trapped under over-sealed joints spreads unseen. When it finally shows, the whole bead needs to come out.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Roe Green
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.
Rented homes near Ashwell & Morden station change hands often, and botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants. Homes close to Church of All Saints include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

For landlords and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we’ll quote.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Older mastics that may need an asbestos check before removal
- Movement from fittings that are not supported
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Expansion joints
- Failed movement joints
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
Why deal with it now?
Another bead over the top won’t fix a failed joint. It doesn’t grip the old layer, so the leak carries on and there’s now more to remove. Older cottages and farmhouses around Roe Green can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Doing several joints on one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits. We will give you a clear quote for the lot.

Common questions in Roe Green
Will you come out to Roe Green?

Does remedial work come with a guarantee?
Yes. Our one-year guarantee covers the work.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
How long does remedial resealing take?
That depends on how many layers there are and how many joints. You will have a timescale before any work begins.
Where are you based?
We’re a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Do you fix expansion and movement joints?
Yes. We cut out the failed sealant, fit backing and reseal with a flexible product.
My shower still leaks after a reseal. Can you sort it?
Yes. Repeat leaks generally come from over-sealing, movement or water getting in elsewhere, and we deal with the cause first.
When to call us in Roe Green
A lot of failed joints have been sealed over rather than replaced. Silicone does not bond to silicone, so the new layer peels, and damp and mould settle between them.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
- Torn expansion joints
- A second bead peeling off the first
If you look after a building such as Sandon Junior Mixed and Infant School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

- What the cure time is
