How we handle remedial sealant in The Green
Remedial jobs in The Green usually fall into a few patterns: sealant over sealant, mould under the bead, leaks that come back and movement joints that have split. Each is stripped back and done again properly. We work on expansion joints, leaking tray & enclosure joints and shrunken worktop sealant, and the jobs we see most are torn expansion joints and worktop sealant that has shrunk and split.
Being in a small place like The Green makes no difference to the job itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Once we are there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after we have gone.

How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
- Never seal over old silicone
- Do not wait for a small gap to become a leak
- Find out why the sealant failed first
Don’t let anyone seal over it later. Over-sealing is how many remedial jobs start.
If a joint has failed more than once, stop resealing it. Have someone find out why, otherwise the next attempt will fail too.
What we do, step by step
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, protect the area around them, do the work and clear up. It generally takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. Somewhere like The Green needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.
- Mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The right product goes in, with backing where the joint moves.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Leave it or put it right?
Spraying mould remover on a sealed-over joint does not reach what’s underneath. The layers have to come out, so the joint can be treated and resealed. In a small place like The Green, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.

Do you need remedial sealant in The Green?
Sealant needs a clean, dry surface with no grease on it. Residue, moisture or dust left in the joint weaken the bond, so it starts lifting sooner than it should.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
For an older house near a landmark such as St Barnabas, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
