How we handle remedial sealant in Wimbish
With more than 20 years’ experience, our applicators have seen most of the ways sealant can fail. We are fully insured ARBOMaster approved applicators, and remedial work carries our one-year guarantee. If you are dealing with sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared and dark patches showing through the sealant, we can help, on failed movement joints, leaking tray & enclosure joints and shrunken worktop sealant alike.
Homes around Wimbish are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats. The work is the same as anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.

Why act early in Wimbish
Leaks that are left keep doing damage out of sight: wet floors, stained ceilings and swollen worktops. Dealing with the joint now is a small job by comparison. In a small place like Wimbish, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Doing several joints on one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

Take a look at how sealant jobs are priced or our reviews.
For landlords and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we will give you a quote.
What the job involves on each surface
Movement & expansion joints
A movement joint must be able to stretch. We remove the failed sealant, fit backing and reseal.
Over-sealed & botched joints
Botched joints sometimes have damaged edges from earlier scraping. We work carefully to avoid adding to it, and tell you about any damage we find.
Wimbish: your questions answered
Is Wimbish within the area you cover?
Yes, Wimbish is covered. 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.
I let a flat near Newport (Essex) station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
What do you put in the joint?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
Is there any odour?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Can you reseal a split movement joint?
Yes. Backing sets the depth and stops the sealant sticking to the back, which lets it stretch.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we are fully insured.
DIY versus a professional finish
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
- Clean sealant with mild products only
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
Leave the new joint to cure fully before it gets wet or moves: follow the cure time we give you.
Warning signs: peeling layers, mould showing through the bead, leaks after showering or cracks in a movement joint. Any of them means it’s time for remedial work.
When something else is needed
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Water damage behind tiles that needs a tiler
- A bath, tray or worktop that moves until it’s properly fixed
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly.

What remedial sealant looks like in Wimbish
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Homes close to St Paul's Mission Room include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Wimbish Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. Letting a property close to Newport (Essex) station? Then a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.

What else we do in Wimbish
How it works
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. Somewhere like Wimbish needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.
- Mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- The joint is tooled and you are told about anything else we found.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
