Questions from Wicken Bonhunt
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Newport (Essex) station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Do you cover Wicken Bonhunt for remedial sealant?
Yes, Wicken Bonhunt is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
What if the leak is not the sealant?
In that case, we tell you what we’ve found. A plumber or fitter may be needed before any new sealant goes on.
Does someone need to be in?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we’ll explain our choice.
How long should I leave it?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We’ll give you the cure time for the product we used.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Usually, yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours, and we agree the colour with you before work begins.
Can you reseal a split movement joint?
Yes. The depth is set with backing so the sealant only bonds to the two sides.
Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Wicken Bonhunt
Not every leak is a sealant leak. Cracked trays, leaking wastes and faulty valves often look like a sealant problem. If that is what we find, we’ll tell you rather than reseal something that won’t fix it. If you’re dealing with torn expansion joints and a second bead peeling off the first, we can help.
Homes around Wicken Bonhunt are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. The work is the same as anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

What else we do in Wicken Bonhunt
Landlords, agents and businesses in Wicken Bonhunt
We also work for property managers and facilities teams. We can quote a run of properties together, and we are fully insured for the work.
We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
Why deal with it now?
Hidden water does the most damage: wet floors, stained ceilings and swollen worktops. Dealing with the joint now is a small job by comparison. Around Wicken Bonhunt, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.

What we are called out for in Wicken Bonhunt
A lot of failed joints have been sealed over rather than replaced. New silicone cannot stick to the old bead, so the new layer peels, and damp and mould settle between them.
Look out for any of the following:
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
- A second bead peeling off the first
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
Managing a site like Joyce Frankland Academy? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
What your quote should include
- How the colour is chosen
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- Whether VAT is included
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.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
The process
At the end, we look at the finished work together and tell you how long to leave it. The work normally takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere like Wicken Bonhunt needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We start by checking the joint for movement, leaks and the reason it failed.
- Every layer of old sealant is cut and cleaned out.
- The joint is cleaned, treated for mould and left to dry.
- Moving joints get backing and a flexible sealant to suit.
- Finally we finish the joint and talk you through what we found.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
How to get a quote
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we will explain how we’d tackle it. When it suits you, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.

How we quote for remedial sealant
Call for a quick quote. The main things that affect it are:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The number and length of the joints
- Which sealant suits the joint
- How many areas need sealing
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first and give you a clear price before we start.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- The address or postcode of the job
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
Every job is quoted individually, so the first step is telling us about yours. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details and send photos if you have them.
How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
- Don’t wait for a small gap to become a leak
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
- Check trays and worktops don’t move
If we have found a cause, such as a loose tray or a leaking waste, get it fixed, because the new sealant can’t hold back a problem underneath.
A failing joint rarely gets better on its own. Every shower or downpour sends more water through, into floors, walls or ceilings. Early action keeps it to a sealant job.
Remedial sealant in Wicken Bonhunt: local notes
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
In the older streets around Church of St Margaret, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. For landlords with property near Newport (Essex) station, botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.
