Remedial Sealant in Workhouse Hill
Failed sealant joints in Workhouse Hill need attention? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, with a one-year guarantee.
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
Different surfaces, different methods
Windows & doors
Failed frame mastic is often hard, cracked and in several layers. We remove it all and clean back to sound surfaces.
Over-sealed & botched joints
A botched joint can hide two or three layers of sealant, and silicone residue is cleaned off the tiles too. New sealant needs a fully clean surface.
Remedial sealant in Workhouse Hill
Movement and expansion joints fail when the sealant cannot stretch. The old sealant comes out and backing goes in to control the depth, before resealing with a flexible product suited to the movement. We work on failed movement joints, shrunken worktop sealant and leaking tray & enclosure joints, and people most often call us about a second bead peeling off the first and torn expansion joints.
For a small place like Workhouse Hill, remedial sealant is planned like any other job: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Workhouse Hill as everywhere else we work.

Why act early in Workhouse Hill
Mould under a bead can’t be reached by cleaning. The layers have to come out. Around Workhouse Hill, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.

Your questions about remedial sealant in Workhouse Hill
I let a flat near Colchester station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Is Workhouse Hill within the area you cover?
Yes. Workhouse Hill is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured for every job we do.
What does remedial sealant cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You will get a clear quote before we start.
Do you fix expansion and movement joints?
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 do several jobs on one visit?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Does remedial work come with a guarantee?
Yes, with our 12-month guarantee. Where we have flagged another fault, it needs fixing for the joint to last.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
We will suggest a colour to suit the surroundings. The product needed can limit the range.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t add new sealant on top of old
- Check trays and worktops do not move
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
- Act on a lifting corner straight away
Keep the room ventilated: run the fan during and after showers, or open a window.
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.
What remedial sealant looks like in Workhouse Hill
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.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Peter, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. Managing a site like Boxted St Peter's Church of England School? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. Rented homes near Colchester station change hands often, and failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.

What we do, step by step
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The work itself takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out, including the tidy-up. In a small place like Workhouse Hill, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.
- We treat any mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The right product goes in, with backing where the joint moves.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
How to prepare
- Mention any tricky access
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Clear the area around the work

Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
When it isn’t the sealant
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacing)
- Older mastics that may need an asbestos check before removal
- A leaking trap, valve or supply pipe
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think.
