Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Tonwell
Some sealant jobs are not a simple reseal, because someone has already had a go. New sealant over old, smeared beads, unsuitable products and hidden mould all need stripping out. If you have repeat leaks from the same joint and movement joints that have split or pulled away, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Homes around Tonwell are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Tonwell
We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Do you need remedial sealant in Tonwell?
Even good sealant ages. Mould grows into the silicone, the surface hardens and the bead shrinks. Then the only fix is removal and a new bead.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
- Torn expansion joints
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
If you let a flat or house near Ware station, botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.

What happens if it’s left?
Hidden water does the most damage: soaked floorboards, ceiling stains below and blown plaster. Dealing with the joint now is a small job by comparison. Around Tonwell, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Combining jobs into one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We’ll give you a clear quote for the lot.

Can I do it myself?
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 fails, we can still redo it.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
How it works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van. Once we have agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. In a small place like Tonwell, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- Surrounding tiles, trays and frames are protected first.
- The botched or failed sealant is cut away completely.
- We clean and degrease the joint and look for signs of movement or water.
- New sealant goes in once the joint is dry, and is tooled smooth.
- You get the cure time and our view on why the joint failed.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Advice
Different surfaces, different methods
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Repeat mould usually points to a damp, poorly aired room. We will reseal and tell you if extraction looks to be the issue.
Worktops & kitchens
If a worktop moves when you lean on it, the sealant will keep splitting. It needs fixing down first, which we’ll point out.
Common questions in Tonwell
I let a flat near Ware station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Is Tonwell within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area.
Can you reseal a split movement joint?
Yes. If a joint has been filled with mortar or rigid filler, we rake it out where possible, then the joint is sealed properly.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
How long will it take to strip and reseal the joint?
The number of joints and layers decides it. We will tell you before any work starts.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Don’t wait for a small gap to become a leak
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
- Never seal over old silicone
- Check ceilings under showers for marks
Where we’ve pointed out another fault, have it put right, or the new joint may fail again.
A failing joint rarely gets better on its own. Every shower or downpour sends more water through, into whatever is behind or below. Early action keeps it to a sealant job.
