Do you cover smaller places like Ulting?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Do you hold any approvals?

Do you fix expansion and movement joints?

Remedial sealant in Ulting, done properly
With more than 20 years’ experience, our applicators have seen most of the ways sealant can fail. We’re fully insured ARBOMaster approved applicators, and remedial work carries our 12-month guarantee. We work on expansion joints, mouldy bath & shower sealant and shrunken worktop sealant, and the jobs we see most are wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones and leaks that keep coming back after resealing.
Somewhere as small as Ulting, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.

Remedial sealant in Ulting: local notes
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
Homes close to Church of All Saints include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Surface by surface
Movement & expansion joints
Joints filled with mortar, grout or rigid filler cannot move. Where it can be raked out, we replace it with flexible sealant.
Leaking trays & enclosures
Repeat shower leaks often come from a tray that flexes or an enclosure sealed in the wrong place. We check both before any new sealant goes on.
Common problems we fix in Ulting
Even good sealant ages. Mould grows into the silicone, the surface hardens and the bead shrinks, especially in damp, poorly aired rooms. At that point it has to come out.
Look out for these signs:
- Beads that never stuck properly
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
- Black mould underneath the bead
Rented homes near Hatfield Peverel station change hands often, and a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.
Questions to ask before booking
- Who turns up on the day
- How long to leave it before use
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work starts. Most jobs take a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. For a village or hamlet like Ulting, the journey is planned in advance: 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.
- We treat any mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The right product goes in, with backing where the joint moves.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
How to prepare
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on

What affects the quote in Ulting
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The number and length of the joints
- Access and height
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- The rough size of the job
- Where the property is
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
Call for a quick quote, or send an email if you’d rather. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we will talk you through the work before giving you a price.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Ulting
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Leave it or put it right?
Adding more sealant is the usual quick fix, and it rarely works. It cannot bond to what’s underneath, so the leak carries on and there’s now more to remove. Older cottages and farmhouses around Ulting can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you are unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

What we can’t put right
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- Cracks in the fitting rather than the joint
- A leaking trap, valve or supply pipe
- A tray or worktop that needs refixing first
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.
