Remedial sealant in St Leonards

Why it’s worth doing now in St Leonards

Leaks that are left keep doing damage out of sight: wet floors, stained ceilings and swollen worktops. Dealing with the joint now is a small job by comparison. Draughts from a gap round a frame, damp under a sill or water behind a bath panel all start small, and early is when they’re cheapest and quickest to sort.

A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Remedial sealant in St Leonards

Remedial work is what we do when sealant has failed or been done badly. New sealant over old, smeared beads, unsuitable products and hidden mould all need stripping out before the joint can be done properly. If you are dealing with smears and lumps from a botched reseal and mould trapped under a layer of silicone, we can help.

Around St Leonards, it’s mostly busy family bathrooms and kitchens, which is hard on sealant and grout. The usual signs are mould in the bead, gaps by the sink and grout that is cracked or stained.

There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

FAQs for St Leonards

I let a flat near St Leonards Warrior Square station. Can you help?

Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.

Do you cover St Leonards for remedial sealant?

Yes, St Leonards is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear quote.

Are you insured?

Yes. Full insurance covers our work.

Is it worth trying it myself?

It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.

Where do you work from?

Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. We cover St Leonards and the rest of East Sussex, along with the rest of our area.

Someone sealed over the old bead. Can you fix it?

Yes. Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off, then the joint is resealed once.

Can you quote for more than one area?

Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.

Can failed expansion joints be resealed?

Yes. The depth is set with backing so the sealant only bonds to the two sides, which lets it stretch.

How the visit works

We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. Parking in a town like St Leonards is generally straightforward, but tell us if there’s a driveway or any restrictions, and mention if the work is upstairs, in a flat or high on the outside.

  1. The failure is looked at first, so we know whether it’s sealant, movement or water from elsewhere.
  2. Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.
  3. Mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
  5. The joint is tooled and you’re told about anything else we found.

Getting ready for the visit

Keeping the joints in good condition

So the new joints stay in good condition:

  • Clean sealant with mild products only
  • Find out why the sealant failed first
  • Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
  • Always have old sealant cut out, not covered

If we’ve found a cause, such as a loose tray or a leaking waste, get it fixed, or the new joint may fail again.

Warning signs: sealant lifting at the ends, a second bead visible on top of the first, black mould under the silicone, or stains below a bathroom. Each one is worth getting looked at.

When something else is needed

In fairness, some problems need a different trade:

  • Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
  • A tray or bath that’s cracked
  • Tiles that have come away from the wall

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

Joints and surfaces we work on

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

Do you need remedial sealant in St Leonards?

Movement tears sealant that isn’t designed for it. Flexing baths, rocking trays and building movement joints will split a rigid or thin bead.

Any of these means the joints need attention:

  • Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
  • Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
  • Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
  • Smears and lumps from a botched reseal

Homes close to St John the Evangelist's Church include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

How we quote for remedial sealant

Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:

  • The number and length of the joints
  • Any mould that needs treating
  • How many areas need sealing

The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first and send you a clear quote before we start.
