About our remedial sealant in Theydon Garnon
A joint that keeps failing generally has a reason. A tray that moves, a worktop that is not fixed, the wrong sealant or water getting in elsewhere will defeat even a perfect bead. We look for the cause before we reseal. We work on leaking tray & enclosure joints, botched or over-sealed joints and expansion joints, and the jobs we see most are beads that never stuck properly and mould trapped under a layer of silicone.
For a small place like Theydon Garnon, remedial sealant is planned like any other job: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.

How we quote for remedial sealant
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- When we can work, for business premises
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Whether the work is at height
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- The address or postcode of the job
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- If someone has resealed it before
- Photos by email, if that is easy
We don’t publish a price list, because every job is different. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To get started, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
How the job changes by surface
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Mould that has grown into silicone doesn’t clean out for good. The sealant is cut out completely, the joint treated with a mould remover and dried ahead of a new anti-fungal bead.
Leaking trays & enclosures
When failed joints are the cause, they’re all cut out and renewed, tray edges and screen profiles included.
Common questions in Theydon Garnon
Is Theydon Garnon within the area you cover?
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.
Is remedial sealant in Theydon Garnon guaranteed?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Will there be a smell?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises, as well as homes. We can talk about working times when we quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure your landlord agrees.
What if the leak is not the sealant?
That’s why we look for the cause first. If the fault is elsewhere, you’ll know before any work is done.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and we will quote it together.
How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Don’t point over movement joints
- Deal with small splits early
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
Go easy on the new sealant: no scraping, scouring pads or harsh chemicals.
Don’t keep resealing the same joint. Have someone find out why, otherwise the next attempt will fail too.
Remedial sealant around Theydon Garnon
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 site and facilities teams at buildings such as Theydon Bois Primary School, washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.

DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Why deal with it now?
Spraying mould remover on a sealed-over joint doesn’t reach what’s underneath. The layers have to come out, so the joint can be treated and resealed. Around Theydon Garnon, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.

Common problems we fix in Theydon Garnon
A lot of failed joints have been sealed over rather than replaced. Silicone doesn’t bond to silicone, so the top layer lifts and water and mould collect between the two.
Look out for any of the following:
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
In the older streets around Church of All Saints, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

The process
At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The work normally takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out, depending on the size of the job. In a small place like Theydon Garnon, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- The failure is looked at first, so we know whether it’s sealant, movement or water from elsewhere.
- Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.
- We treat any mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
How to prepare
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
