Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Smith's Green
Getting old sealant out properly is slow, careful work. We cut out every layer, clear the residue and degrease the surfaces, taking care not to scratch the surfaces around it. New sealant only bonds to a clean, dry joint. We work on mouldy bath & shower sealant, expansion joints and leaking tray & enclosure joints, and the jobs we see most are repeat leaks from the same joint and floor or wall movement joints that have failed.
Being in a small place like Smith's Green makes no difference to the job itself: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

When it is not the sealant
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we will tell you before work begins. Sealant will not put right:
- Older mastics that may need an asbestos check before removal
- Water damage behind tiles that needs a tiler
- Movement from fittings that are not supported
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Failed movement joints
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Expansion joints
Smith's Green homes and their sealant
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
Managing a site like Takeley Primary School? Then 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. Rented homes near Stansted Airport station change hands often, and failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.

Why it’s worth doing now in Smith's Green
Repeat failures have a cause. Finding it, whether movement, water from elsewhere or an unsuitable product, ends the cycle. In a small place like Smith's Green, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

Questions from Smith's Green
Is Smith's Green within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Stansted Airport station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Will it make a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Does remedial work come with a guarantee?
Yes, with our 12-month guarantee. If we have pointed out another problem, getting it fixed helps the new joint last.
How long will it take to strip and reseal the joint?
It takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. We will give you a timescale when we quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, we can. More than one area can go on one quote.
What information do you need?
A short description and the location, plus pictures if you have them. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
Can you remove sealant that is been put over old sealant?
Yes. It’s slower than a standard reseal, because every layer has to come out cleanly, but it’s the only way the new joint will last.
What we do, step by step
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we do not rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it generally takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. In a small place like Smith's Green, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We protect the surfaces around the joint.
- The botched or failed sealant is cut away completely.
- The joint is degreased and checked for movement and leaks.
- Once dry, a suitable sealant is applied and tooled.
- We give you the cure time and explain what caused the failure.
Preparing for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Your quote is based on your job. We look at:

- The product the joint needs
- How many areas need sealing
- The number and length of the joints
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first.

- How we’d reach the joints
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- The problem you’ve noticed
Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand, and we’ll take it from there.
Landlord and commercial work in Smith's Green
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
When to call us in Smith's Green
Some joints fail because water is reaching them from behind. A slow leak behind the tiles soaks the joint from the back, so the silicone goes mouldy or lets go.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Torn expansion joints
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
Homes close to Church of the Holy Trinity include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
Questions to ask before booking
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- What the cure time is
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
