About our remedial sealant in Wickham St Paul
Decorators’ caulk in a shower, bathroom silicone on a window, a rigid filler in a movement joint won’t last, however tidy it looks. We take it out and use a sealant made for that joint. If you have a second bead peeling off the first and worktop sealant that has shrunk and split, we can help, whatever the surface.
Somewhere as small as Wickham St Paul, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

What affects the quote in Wickham St Paul

- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Any mould that needs treating
- Access and height
- The product the joint needs
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.

What we do, step by step
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. Somewhere as small as Wickham St Paul, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We look at how the sealant has failed and check for movement or a leak path.
- Every layer of old sealant is cut and cleaned out.
- We clean the joint, treat any mould and let it 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Related advice
Why deal with it now?
Spraying mould remover on a sealed-over joint doesn’t reach what’s underneath. The layers have to come out, and the joint treated and dried before resealing. Older cottages and farmhouses around Wickham St Paul can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
We do not show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Different surfaces, different methods
Movement & expansion joints
A movement joint must be able to stretch. Failed sealant is cut out, backing rod or tape is fitted and the joint resealed with a low-modulus product.
Worktops & kitchens
Old kitchen sealant pulls back from the wall over time. We strip it, degrease the joint and reseal in a colour to suit.
Wickham St Paul questions
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Sudbury (Suffolk) station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Wickham St Paul?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Someone sealed over the old bead. Can you fix it?
Yes. Stripping layered sealant takes longer than a normal reseal, but it’s what makes the new bead last.
Do you guarantee remedial jobs?
Yes. Our one-year guarantee covers the work, and we’re ARBOMaster approved.
Can you fix a reseal that hasn’t worked?
Yes. We’ll take all the sealant out, look for why it failed and reseal it properly.
How long does remedial resealing take?
The number of joints and layers decides it. You’ll have a timescale before any work begins.
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.
Does someone need to be in?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What remedial sealant looks like in Wickham St Paul
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
For landlords with property near Sudbury (Suffolk) station, botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants. Homes close to Church of All Saints include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
- Do not wait for a small gap to become a leak
Clean gently: no scraping, scouring pads or harsh chemicals.
Warning signs: peeling layers, mould showing through the bead, leaks after showering or cracks in a movement joint. Each one is worth getting looked at.
