About our remedial sealant in Sewards End

A joint that keeps failing generally has a reason. Movement, the wrong product or a leak from somewhere else will defeat even a perfect bead. We look for the cause before we reseal. We work on botched or over-sealed joints, expansion joints and leaking tray & enclosure joints, and common reasons people get in touch are movement joints that have split or pulled away and thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles.

Being in a small place like Sewards End makes no difference to the job itself: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. Once we are there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.

Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

When it is not the sealant

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:

  • Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
  • Failed tanking or loose tiles behind the sealant
  • Plumbing leaks behind walls or under trays

Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly.

Joints and surfaces we work on

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

Bathrooms and kitchens in Sewards End

Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.

Homes close to St James' Church include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. If you look after a building such as Saffron Walden County High 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.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Sewards End

Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too. Several sites can be quoted together.

In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.

How it works

All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we have agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. In a small place like Sewards End, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.

  1. First we find out how and where the joint has failed.
  2. All the old sealant comes out, including any layers underneath.
  3. Next, any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. Moving joints get backing and a flexible sealant to suit.
  5. The new joint is tooled neatly and we explain anything else we found.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the joints have been sealed before
  • Move anything stored near the joints
  • Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Looking after it afterwards

Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:

  • Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
  • Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
  • Act on a lifting corner straight away
  • Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts

Give the new sealant its full cure time: follow the cure time we give you.

A failing joint rarely gets better on its own. Every shower or downpour sends more water through, into whatever is behind or below. Sorting it early limits the damage.

How the job changes by surface

Worktops & kitchens

If a worktop moves when you lean on it, the sealant will keep splitting. It needs fixing down first, and we will tell you if we find it.

Mouldy bath & shower sealant

Repeat mould generally points to a damp, poorly aired room. Along with resealing, we’ll mention if the room needs better ventilation.

When to call us in Sewards End

Movement tears sealant that is not designed for it. A bath that flexes, a tray that rocks or a building joint that opens and closes split any bead that’s too stiff or too thin.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Products that weren’t meant for the joint
  • Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
  • A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
  • Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared

Rented homes near Audley End station change hands often, and failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.

Before booking anyone

  • Whether you can choose the colour
  • How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
  • Whether all the old sealant comes out first
  • What the quote includes, VAT included or not

How we quote for remedial sealant

There’s no set price list. The quote depends on:

  • How many areas need sealing
  • The product the joint needs
  • The old material and how stubborn it is
  • Access and height

Doing several joints on one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We’ll give you a clear quote for the lot.

What to tell us for a quote

A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:

  • Roughly how big the job is
  • What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
  • Any access issues, like height or stairs
  • Whether it has been sealed before

The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add photos by email if you can.
