Remedial sealant in Stow Maries
Movement and expansion joints fail when the sealant can’t stretch. The old sealant comes out and backing goes in to control the depth, before resealing with a flexible product suited to the movement. If you have beads that never stuck properly and black mould underneath the bead, we can put it right.
In a village or hamlet like Stow Maries, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you are covered after we have gone.

How the job changes by surface
Windows & doors
Frames resealed over the top end up with hard, layered mastic. We remove it all and clean back to sound surfaces before backing and resealing.
Leaking trays & enclosures
If the tray is cracked, or the leak is from the valve or waste, sealant won’t fix it. We say so rather than reseal.
Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Water damage behind tiles that needs a tiler
- Plumbing leaks behind walls or under trays
- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Failed movement joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant

Stow Maries homes and their sealant

For landlords with property near North Fambridge station, a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty. Homes close to Parish Church of St Mary include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

What happens if it’s left?
DIY removal often leaves scratches and a film of residue, and the residue left behind stops the next bead bonding. Careful stripping is where most of our time goes. Around Stow Maries, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

Advice
What we’re called out for in Stow Maries
Silicone only bonds to surfaces that are clean and dry. Residue, moisture or dust left in the joint weaken the bond, so it starts lifting sooner than it should.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Black mould underneath the bead
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
Managing a site like Cold Norton Primary School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- What the cure time is
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
Should I try it myself first?
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.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
