Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Aldworth
The wrong product in the wrong joint will not last, however tidy it looks. Out it comes, and in goes a sealant suited to the job. Typical jobs include gaps opening along the back of the worktop and decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower, on leaking tray & enclosure joints, botched or over-sealed joints and failed movement joints.
For a small place like Aldworth, remedial sealant is planned like any other job: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
All our work comes with a 12-month guarantee.

What we do, step by step
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, 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 as small as Aldworth, access is often the only tricky part. 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.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- The joint is tooled and you’re told about anything else we found.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Tell us if parking is tricky

What happens if it’s left?
Stripping out botched sealant adds time to a reseal, but not by much: the work takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. It’s far less disruption than resealing the same joint again and again. Around Aldworth, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Aldworth homes and their sealant
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you look after a building such as The Downs School, washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes. In the older streets around St Mary's church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

Aldworth: your questions answered
Is Aldworth in your area for remedial sealant?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Aldworth is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we will send you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Aldworth?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
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.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we’re fully insured too.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Can failed expansion joints be resealed?
Yes. The depth is set with backing so the sealant only bonds to the two sides, which lets it stretch.
Can you fix a reseal that hasn’t worked?
Yes. We will take all the sealant out, look for why it failed and reseal it properly.
Landlord and commercial work in Aldworth
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Landlords and agents in Aldworth can book us as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
Do you need remedial sealant in Aldworth?
Some joints fail because water is reaching them from behind. A slow leak behind the tiles soaks the joint from the back, and the sealant lifts or goes mouldy from underneath.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Black mould underneath the bead
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
If you let a flat or house near Goring & Streatley station, failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- What the cure time is
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Whether you can choose the colour
What the job involves on each surface
Leaking trays & enclosures
When failed joints are the cause, they’re all cut out and renewed, including the screen profile and tray edges.
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Mould often spreads under the bead as well as through it. Once it’s all removed, the joint is treated so the new sealant starts clean.
DIY versus a professional finish
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
When it isn’t the sealant
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Movement from fittings that are not supported
- A tray or bath that is cracked
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
