If you are dealing with movement joints that have split or pulled away and gaps opening along the back of the worktop, we can help, on expansion joints, mouldy bath & shower sealant and botched or over-sealed joints alike.
Somewhere as small as Walstead, 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.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
- Clean sealant with mild products only
- Never seal over old silicone
Leave the new joint to cure fully before it gets wet or moves: follow the cure time we give you.
A split movement joint lets rain into walls and floors, and the longer it’s left, the more the joint edges break down. A joint with sound edges is far easier to reseal.

Common problems we fix in Walstead
Products get mixed up: acrylic caulk in a wet area, a general-purpose sealant on a moving joint, or an acetoxy silicone on natural stone or some metals. Each fails in its own way.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of the Good Shepherd, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
Before booking anyone
- When the joint can take water or movement
- How the colour is chosen
- What guarantee comes with the work
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Walstead, jobs at different addresses can be quoted together. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
How it works
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out for a typical job. Somewhere as small as Walstead, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we find out how and where the joint has failed.
- Every layer of old sealant is cut and cleaned out.
- We clean the joint, treat any mould and let it dry.
- Moving joints get backing and a flexible sealant to suit.
- The new joint is tooled neatly and we explain anything else we found.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Why it’s worth doing now in Walstead
Ripping out a bathroom isn’t usually needed. If the bath, tray and tiles are sound, remedial resealing usually puts it right. If they’re not, we will tell you. Around Walstead, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.

Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into 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.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
- A tray or bath that’s cracked
- Movement from fittings that aren’t supported
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think.
