How we quote for remedial sealant
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Any mould that needs treating
- The number and length of the joints
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
Asking for a quote
You do not need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Where the property is
- The type of property
There’s no standard price list. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To get started, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
How we handle remedial sealant in Woodcock Hill
Getting old sealant out properly is slow, careful work. Every layer is cut out, the residue cleaned off and the joint degreased, without scratching tiles, trays or frames. Only then can new sealant bond. If you have floor or wall movement joints that have failed and kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop, we can help, whatever the surface.
Around Woodcock Hill, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
We also work for property managers and facilities teams in Woodcock Hill and across Hertfordshire. Several sites can be quoted together, and we are fully insured.
Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Find out why the sealant failed first
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
- Act on a lifting corner right away
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
Ventilation keeps mould away from the new bead: use the extractor or open a window after showering.
Movement joints that have split let water into the structure, and the longer it’s left, the more the joint edges break down. Resealing while the edges are sound is simpler.
Woodcock Hill homes and their sealant
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you let a flat or house near Rickmansworth station, a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty. If you look after a building such as St Mary's Church of England Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

When to call us in Woodcock Hill
Joints that move need sealant that can stretch. A bath that flexes, a tray that rocks or a building joint that opens and closes will split a rigid or thin bead.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Surface by surface
Worktops & kitchens
Shrunken worktop sealant leaves a gap that lets water into the back edge. We strip it, degrease the joint and reseal.
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Repeat mould generally points to a damp, poorly aired room. Along with resealing, we will mention if the room needs better ventilation.
What happens on the day
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out from start to finish. Somewhere as small as Woodcock Hill, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We protect the surfaces around the joint.
- Every layer of failed sealant is stripped out.
- We clean and degrease the joint and look for signs of movement or water.
- New sealant goes in once the joint is dry, and is tooled smooth.
- You get the cure time and our view on why the joint failed.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Advice
DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
