DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.

Why act early in West Horndon
Spraying mould remover on a sealed-over joint doesn’t reach what’s underneath. Removal is the only way to get at it, so the joint can be treated and resealed. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like West Horndon, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

What remedial sealant looks like in West Horndon
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
Homes close to St Francis include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. Letting a property close to West Horndon station? Then a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.

How the job changes by surface
Over-sealed & botched joints
A botched joint can hide two or three layers of sealant, including the smears and film on surrounding tiles. Only a clean joint will take a new bead.
Windows & doors
Smeared or badly matched mastic can be cut out and redone neatly, matched to the frame colour.
What we’re called out for in West Horndon
Water from somewhere else can ruin a good seal. A slow leak behind the tiles soaks the joint from the back, and the sealant lifts or goes mouldy from underneath.
The problems people generally mention when they call are:
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
- Torn expansion joints
- Beads that never stuck properly
Schools such as West Horndon Primary School are buildings too, and 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.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- The length of the guarantee
- Are they insured?
- Which colour the sealant will be
For landlords and businesses
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Questions from West Horndon
Do you cover West Horndon for remedial sealant?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and West Horndon is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Will you come out to West Horndon?
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.
Someone sealed over the old bead. Can you fix it?
Yes. Stripping layered sealant takes longer than a normal reseal, but it’s the only way the new joint will last.
My shower still leaks after a reseal. Can you sort it?
Yes. We’ll take all the sealant out, look for why it failed and reseal it properly.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
Do the sealants smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
What if the leak is not the sealant?
We’ll tell you. A cracked tray, faulty valve or leaking waste needs a different trade, so we won’t pretend it will.
Can tenants book the work?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure your landlord agrees.
What happens on the day
There’s no need to move everything out, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out for a typical job. For a village or hamlet like West Horndon, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. 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.
- Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off.
- Mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
