About our remedial sealant in White Roding
Remedial work is what we do when sealant has failed or been done badly. Silicone laid over silicone, smears across tiles, the wrong product in a moving joint or mould trapped underneath all have to come out. We work on expansion joints, shrunken worktop sealant and failed movement joints, and the jobs we see most are movement joints that have split or pulled away and a shower that leaks however often it’s resealed.
In a village or hamlet like White Roding, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

White Roding homes and their sealant
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Homes close to Church of St Martin include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. If you let a flat or house near Sawbridgeworth station, failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.

Your questions about remedial sealant in White Roding
Do you work for landlords with property near Sawbridgeworth station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders, and several properties can go on one quote. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Will you come out to White Roding?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Can you reseal a split movement joint?
Yes. The depth is set with backing so the sealant only bonds to the two sides, which lets it stretch.
Can you take off two layers of silicone?
Yes. It’s slower than a standard reseal, because every layer has to come out cleanly, but it’s the only way the new joint will last.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
What if resealing won’t fix my leak?
In that case, we tell you what we’ve found. You may need a plumber or bathroom fitter before any new sealant goes on.
Do you guarantee remedial jobs?
Yes, with our one-year guarantee. Where we have flagged another fault, it needs fixing for the joint to last.
How the job changes by surface
Windows & doors
Wrong-coloured or messy mastic can be replaced for appearance too, in a colour that suits the frame.
Movement & expansion joints
Movement joints in floors, walls and façades need a flexible sealant set to the right depth. We remove the failed sealant, fit backing and reseal with a low-modulus product.
DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
When it is not the sealant
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- A leaking trap, valve or supply pipe
- A tray or worktop that needs refixing first
- A tray or bath that is cracked
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Failed movement joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Expansion joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints

How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
- Do not add new sealant on top of old
- Don’t point over movement joints
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
If we’ve found a cause, such as a loose tray or a leaking waste, get it fixed, or the new joint may fail again.
Mould under a second layer of sealant keeps growing out of sight. When it finally shows, the whole bead needs to come out.
What happens on the day
Once we’re on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. For a village or hamlet like White Roding, 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.
- Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Why deal with it now?
It’s easy to scratch acrylic, enamel or an uPVC frame cutting out old sealant, and the residue left behind stops the next bead bonding. Careful removal is most of a remedial job. In a small place like White Roding, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.
