Remedial sealant in Sawbridgeworth
Removing failed sealant is the hardest part of the job. We cut out every layer, clear the residue and degrease the surfaces, taking care not to scratch the surfaces around it. Only then can new sealant bond. Common call-outs are for movement joints that have split or pulled away and products that weren’t meant for the joint, across failed movement joints, leaking tray & enclosure joints and shrunken worktop sealant.
Around Sawbridgeworth, you will mostly find houses and bungalows, from older cottages to newer builds. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do in a big town.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee.

Is Sawbridgeworth within the area you cover?

Do you cover Sawbridgeworth for remedial sealant?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Sawbridgeworth is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Can you strip sealant from an acrylic tray safely?
Yes, with care. We cut and lift the old sealant with tools suited to the surface, and the residue is cleaned away. Any existing damage is pointed out before any work starts.
My shower still leaks after a reseal. Can you sort it?
Yes. First we check whether the leak is the sealant at all, then strip and reseal the joints.
Do you guarantee remedial jobs?
Yes. Our one-year guarantee covers the work, and we’re ARBOMaster approved.
Will it make a mess?

Are you insured?

Can you reseal a split movement joint?
Yes. Where mortar or filler has been used instead of sealant, it’s removed where it can be, then the joint is sealed properly.

What else we do in Sawbridgeworth
What happens on the day
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, carry out the job and clear up. Most jobs take a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. In a smaller place like Sawbridgeworth, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- We look at how the sealant has failed and check for movement or a leak path.
- All the old sealant comes out, including any layers underneath.
- The joint is cleaned, treated for mould and left to dry.
- Moving joints get backing and a flexible sealant to suit.
- We tool the joint and tell you about anything else that needs attention.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Tell us about any water getting in

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
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.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can go on one quote.
Do you need remedial sealant in Sawbridgeworth?
All sealant wears out eventually. Over the years it shrinks, hardens and gets colonised by mould. Then the only fix is removal and a new bead.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
- Over-sealed joints coming away
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
In the older streets around Sawbridgeworth Congregational Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

Leave it or put it right?
Ripping out a bathroom isn’t normally needed. When the fittings are sound, stripping and resealing the joints is often enough. If they’re not, we will tell you. In an older home around Sawbridgeworth, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs. Ask us for a quote and we’ll go through it with you.
