How we handle remedial sealant in Stisted
Removing failed sealant is the hardest part of the job. Every layer is cut out, the residue cleaned off and the joint degreased, without scratching tiles, trays or frames. New sealant only bonds to a clean, dry joint. We work on expansion joints, mouldy bath & shower sealant and failed movement joints, and common reasons people get in touch are dark patches showing through the sealant and over-sealed joints coming away.
Around Stisted, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. The work is the same as anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so these are the limits:

- Movement from fittings that are not supported
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Stisted questions
Is Stisted in your area for remedial sealant?
Yes, Stisted 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.
Do you cover smaller places like Stisted?
Yes. Stisted is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Cure times vary by product and the temperature. Before we leave, we’ll tell you the cure time.

Where are you based?
We’re based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.

Can tenants book the work?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Stisted homes and their sealant
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 Braintree Freeport station, a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty. In the older streets around Parish Church of All Saints, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. If you look after a building such as Stisted Church of England Primary Academy, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

Why act early in Stisted
Spraying mould remover on a sealed-over joint doesn’t reach what’s underneath. The layers have to come out. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Stisted, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.

Related advice
Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Surface by surface
Leaking trays & enclosures
When failed joints are the cause, they’re all cut out and renewed, tray edges and screen profiles included.
Movement & expansion joints
Joints filled with mortar, grout or rigid filler can’t move. We rake that out where it can be removed and seal with a flexible product.
