Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Aldermaston Soke
Removing failed sealant is the hardest part of the job. 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. We are often asked to deal with gaps opening along the back of the worktop and products that weren’t meant for the joint, on mouldy bath & shower sealant, shrunken worktop sealant and botched or over-sealed joints.
Homes around Aldermaston Soke are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. The work is the same as anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

The process
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The visit itself usually takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out, depending on the size of the job. For a village or hamlet like Aldermaston Soke, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We protect the surfaces around the joint.
- The botched or failed sealant is cut away completely.
- The joint is degreased and checked for movement and leaks.
- Once dry, a suitable sealant is applied and tooled.
- You get the cure time and our view on why the joint failed.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Mention any tricky access

Related advice
Leave it or put it right?
A joint that has failed twice will fail again unless the cause is dealt with. Taking time to find the cause, whether it’s movement, a leak or the wrong product, is what stops it happening again. In a small place like Aldermaston Soke, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
What you get with us
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
- We never seal over old sealant
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- A sealant colour to suit the surroundings

Aldermaston Soke homes and their sealant
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.
In the older streets around Saint Luke's Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. Managing a site like Silchester Church of England Primary School? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

What we cannot put right
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A tray or worktop that needs refixing first
- A leaking trap, valve or supply pipe
- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Expansion joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Failed movement joints
Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
- Check trays and worktops do not move
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
Leave the new joint to cure fully before it gets wet or moves: normally around 24 hours, or as long as we advise.
A split movement joint lets rain into walls and floors, and left long enough, the edges of the joint can crumble. Resealing while the edges are sound is simpler.
What we are called out for in Aldermaston Soke
All sealant wears out eventually. Mould grows into the silicone, the surface hardens and the bead shrinks, faster where ventilation is poor. Then the only fix is removal and a new bead.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
Rented homes near Aldermaston station change hands often, and failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.
