Why act early in Rush Green

It’s easy to scratch acrylic, enamel or an uPVC frame cutting out old sealant, and any film left behind stops new sealant sticking. Careful removal is most of a remedial job. Older cottages and farmhouses around Rush Green can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.

Remedial sealant in Rush Green

Remedial jobs in Rush Green normally fall into a few patterns: sealant over sealant, mould under the bead, leaks that come back and movement joints that have split. Each is stripped back and done again properly. Common call-outs are for dark patches showing through the sealant and gaps opening along the back of the worktop, on mouldy bath & shower sealant, failed movement joints and expansion joints.

Around Rush Green, it’s 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.

You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

The process

All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. Somewhere as small as Rush Green, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.

  1. Surrounding tiles, trays and frames are protected first.
  2. Every layer of failed sealant is stripped out.
  3. We clean and degrease the joint and look for signs of movement or water.
  4. New sealant goes in once the joint is dry, and is tooled smooth.
  5. We give you the cure time and explain what caused the failure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the work
  • For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
  • Let us know about parking restrictions

What we’re called out for in Rush Green

Products get mixed up: acrylic caulk in a wet area, a general-purpose sealant on a moving joint, or an acetoxy silicone on natural stone or some metals. Each fails in its own way.

Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:

  • Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
  • Black mould underneath the bead
  • Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
  • Leaks that keep coming back after resealing

If you let a flat or house near Stevenage station, a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.

Our hiring checklist

Your questions about remedial sealant in Rush Green

Is Rush Green in your area for remedial sealant?

Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Rush Green is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.

Will you come out to Rush Green?

Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.

Can you take off two layers of silicone?

Yes. Both layers come out; new silicone doesn’t bond to old silicone, which is why over-sealing fails.

What if resealing won’t fix my leak?

We’ll tell you. If it’s a cracked tray, a failed valve or a leaking waste, resealing will not fix it, and we won’t reseal for the sake of it.

How long does the work take?

That depends on how many layers there are and how many joints. We’ll tell you before we start.

Are you fully insured?

Yes, we are fully insured for domestic and commercial work.

What information do you need?

The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few pictures.

Can failed expansion joints be resealed?

Yes. We cut out the failed sealant, fit backing and reseal with a flexible product.

What affects the quote in Rush Green

Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • How easy the joints are to reach
  • The old material and how stubborn it is
  • Mould in or behind the old joints
  • How many rooms, windows or areas are involved

Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

Helping us quote

What to tell us when you ask for a quote:

  • How we’d reach the joints
  • What’s wrong with the joints now
  • If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
  • Where the property is

If you are in Rush Green and need remedial sealant, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email. A short description of the job and where it is helps us quote, and you will get a clear quote before any work starts.

Surface by surface

Worktops & kitchens

A loose worktop splits its sealant. It needs fixing down first, and we’ll tell you if we find it.

Leaking trays & enclosures

If the tray is cracked, or the leak is from the valve or waste, sealant will not fix it. We will tell you what we find.

When something else is needed

In fairness, some problems need a different trade:

  • A tray or worktop that needs refixing first
  • Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
  • Water damage behind tiles that needs a tiler

Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we seal

  • Expansion joints
  • Botched or over-sealed joints
  • Leaking tray & enclosure joints
  • Shrunken worktop sealant
  • Mouldy bath & shower sealant
  • Failed movement joints

For landlords and businesses

We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for.

Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
