Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
What affects the cost of remedial sealant
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- The product the joint needs
- How easy the joints are to reach
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Mould in or behind the old joints
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you’re unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

For landlords and businesses
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
What happens if it’s left?
Remedial work takes longer than a straight reseal, but rarely a lot: it takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. It’s far less disruption than resealing the same joint again and again. Around Roydon Hamlet, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
The cost depends on the amount of work, 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, so you know where you stand.

Remedial sealant around Roydon Hamlet
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Roydon 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. In the older streets around Church of All Saints, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. Rented homes near Roydon station change hands often, and botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.

When it isn’t the sealant
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- A tray or bath that’s cracked
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Older mastics that may need an asbestos check before removal
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think.
What we seal
- Failed movement joints
- Expansion joints
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Act on a lifting corner right away
- Keep the room well ventilated
- Do not point over movement joints
- Never seal over old silicone
If the joint ever needs renewing, have it cut out, not sealed over. New silicone doesn’t bond to old, so the old bead should always come out first.
A split movement joint lets rain into walls and floors, and left long enough, the edges of the joint can crumble. Resealing while the edges are sound is simpler.
