Remedial sealant in Allanton, done properly
Two decades of sealant work means we recognise most failures quickly. We are ARBOMaster approved and fully insured, and every remedial job comes with a 12-month guarantee. We work on botched or over-sealed joints, expansion joints and failed movement joints, and the jobs we see most are a shower that leaks however often it’s resealed and gaps opening along the back of the worktop.
Bathrooms in smaller places like Allanton work just as hard as those in the cities. Generally soft Scottish water means less limescale, but steam still lets mould into sealant and grout.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Surface by surface
Movement & expansion joints
Movement joints in floors, walls and façades need a flexible sealant set to the right depth. Failed sealant is cut out, backing rod or tape is fitted and the joint resealed with a low-modulus product.
Over-sealed & botched joints
Thick, smeared sealant looks messy and hides problems. We strip it back so we can see the joint, and then we reseal it neatly.
What we’re called out for in Allanton
Silicone only bonds to surfaces that are clean and dry. Residue, moisture or dust left in the joint weaken the bond, so it starts lifting sooner than it should.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
- Over-sealed joints coming away
- Beads that never stuck properly
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
Rented homes near Chatelherault station change hands often, and botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.

What happens if it’s left?
Remedial work takes longer than a straight reseal, but rarely a lot: the work takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. It’s far less disruption than resealing the same joint again and again. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
Doing several joints on one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We will give you a clear price for the lot.

Advice
Allanton homes and their sealant
In Scotland, private landlords have to meet the Repairing Standard, which covers keeping fixtures and fittings in a reasonable state of repair. Failed sealant around a bath or shower is worth sorting between tenancies. Scotland’s water is generally soft, so sealant and grout see less limescale than in much of England. But mould still grows into sealant and grout in a room that does not dry out.
If you look after a building such as Our Lady's High School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. In the older streets around Ferniegair Mission Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
