Different surfaces, different methods
Leaking trays & enclosures
Where the joints are the problem, every bead is stripped and resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone, including the screen profile and tray edges.
Windows & doors
Frames resealed over the top end up with hard, layered mastic. All of it is cut out and the frame and wall cleaned.
Remedial sealant in Speedwell
A movement joint stops working when its sealant splits or sets hard. The old sealant comes out and backing goes in to control the depth, then a flexible sealant matched to the movement goes in. We work on botched or over-sealed joints, shrunken worktop sealant and expansion joints, and common reasons people get in touch are black mould underneath the bead and caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area.
Being in a small place like Speedwell makes no difference to the job itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Speedwell questions
Do you cover smaller places like Speedwell?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you work for landlords with property near Aspley Guise station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Can you remove sealant that is been put over old sealant?
Yes. Stripping layered sealant takes longer than a normal reseal, but it’s the only way the new joint will last.
Can I do it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
Do you fix expansion and movement joints?
Yes. Where mortar or filler has been used instead of sealant, it’s removed where it can be, then the joint is sealed properly.
Do you guarantee remedial jobs?
Yes. Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee.
Where do you work from?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover Speedwell.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
How the visit works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The job generally takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out from start to finish. For a village or hamlet like Speedwell, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We start by checking the joint for movement, leaks and the reason it failed.
- We strip the joint completely, removing any layers below.
- We clean the joint, treat any mould and let it dry.
- We use the right backing and sealant for any joint that moves.
- Finally we finish the joint and talk you through what we found.
How to prepare
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Mention any tricky access

Advice
Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Clean sealant with mild products only
- Do not wait for a small gap to become a leak
- Check ceilings under showers for marks
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
Clean gently: a mild cleaner and a soft cloth, with no blades or scourers.
Mould under a second layer of sealant keeps growing out of sight. By the time it shows through, the joint is well past saving.
What affects the quote in Speedwell
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- The number of rooms or windows
- The number and length of the joints
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The product the joint needs
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What to tell us for a quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- Roughly how big the job is
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Remedial sealant in Speedwell: local notes
Speedwell has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room. 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 landlords with property near Aspley Guise station, a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty. Managing a site like Woburn Lower 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. If you live in an older home near Church of Saint Mary, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Why it’s worth doing now in Speedwell
A joint that has failed twice will fail again unless the cause is dealt with. Finding it, whether movement, water from elsewhere or an unsuitable product, ends the cycle. Around Speedwell, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.
