DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Remedial sealant in Stansted
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 shrunken worktop sealant, mouldy bath & shower sealant and expansion joints, and common reasons people get in touch are mould trapped under a layer of silicone and floor or wall movement joints that have failed.
Homes around Stansted are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. The work is the same as anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Stansted
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 an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. Letting a property close to Borough Green & Wrotham station? Then failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.

Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Stansted questions
Will you come out to Stansted?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you do remedial sealant in Stansted?
Yes, Stansted is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing.
How long should I leave it?
It depends on the product and the temperature. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Can you reseal a split movement joint?
Yes. Backing sets the depth and stops the sealant sticking to the back, which lets it stretch.
Someone sealed over the old bead. Can you fix it?
Yes. We remove every layer; new silicone does not bond to old silicone, which is why over-sealing fails.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before resealing.
Can you fix a reseal that hasn’t worked?
Yes. There’s usually a reason: sealant over sealant, movement or another leak, so we find that first.

How it works
You do not need to clear the whole room or building before we come, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out in most cases. For a village or hamlet like Stansted, 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.
- First we find out how and where the joint has failed.
- We strip the joint completely, removing any layers below.
- We clean the joint, treat any mould and let it dry.
- Where the joint moves, backing and a flexible sealant suited to the movement go in.
- We tool the joint and tell you about anything else that needs attention.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

When to call us in Stansted
Products get mixed up: acrylic caulk in a wet area, a general-purpose sealant on a moving joint, or an acetoxy silicone on natural stone or some metals. None of them last.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
- Torn expansion joints
If you look after a building such as Wrotham School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

What sealant work can’t fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- A tray or worktop that needs refixing first
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacing)
- Plumbing leaks behind walls or under trays
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we seal
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Failed movement joints
- Expansion joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Botched or over-sealed joints
Why deal with it now?
Leaks that are left keep doing damage out of sight: soaked floorboards, ceiling stains below and blown plaster. By comparison, sorting the joint is quick. In a small place like Stansted, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
