Remedial sealant in Wickford, done properly
Two decades of sealant work means we recognise most failures quickly. We’re fully insured ARBOMaster approved applicators, and remedial work carries our one-year guarantee. Common call-outs are for mould trapped under a layer of silicone and over-sealed joints coming away, on shrunken worktop sealant, mouldy bath & shower sealant and expansion joints.
Around Wickford, it’s mostly busy family bathrooms and kitchens, where sealant and grout take a lot of daily wear. The usual signs are mould in the bead, gaps by the sink and grout that’s cracked or stained.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Landlord and commercial work in Wickford
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. Several properties can be quoted together.
How the job changes by surface
Leaking trays & enclosures
If the tray is cracked, or the leak is from the valve or waste, sealant will not fix it. We’ll tell you what we find.
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Where mould keeps coming back, ventilation is usually part of the cause. We’ll reseal and tell you if extraction looks to be the issue.
Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
When to call us in Wickford
How a joint is built matters as much as the product. A bead bonded on three sides, or laid too thick, cannot flex, so it tears when the joint moves. Backing rod or bond-breaker tape prevents it.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
- Torn expansion joints
If you let a flat or house near Wickford station, a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Whether you can choose the colour
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- What happens if the job turns out different
How the visit works
We bring everything the job needs with us. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. For a job in Wickford, we need access to where the work is and somewhere nearby to park. If the job is outside, mention gates, side access and anything above ground floor.
- We start by checking the joint for movement, leaks and the reason it failed.
- All the old sealant comes out, including any layers underneath.
- The joint is cleaned, treated for mould and left to dry.
- We use the right backing and sealant for any joint that moves.
- We tool the joint and tell you about anything else that needs attention.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Advice
Common questions in Wickford
Is Wickford in your area for remedial sealant?
Yes, Wickford is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Is remedial sealant in Wickford guaranteed?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can you reseal a split movement joint?
Yes. Where mortar or filler has been used instead of sealant, it’s removed where it can be, and reseal with a flexible product.
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.
What do you put in the joint?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes, regularly. We can plan bigger jobs in stages.
What should I tell you?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.

Asking for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- How we’d reach the joints
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- The type of property
- Whether it has been sealed before
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or email us if that is easier. Describe what needs sealing and we will explain what’s involved before giving you a price.
Remedial sealant in Wickford: local notes
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Homes close to St Andrew include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. Managing a site like Oakfield Primary School? Then 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.

What we cannot put right

- Plumbing leaks behind walls or under trays
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
