Remedial sealant in Amersham on the Hill, done properly
Getting old sealant out properly is slow, careful work. Every layer is cut out, the residue cleaned off and the joint degreased, taking care not to scratch the surfaces around it. Only then can new sealant bond. We work on failed movement joints, leaking tray & enclosure joints and mouldy bath & shower sealant, and common reasons people get in touch are worktop sealant that has shrunk and split and products that weren’t meant for the joint.
Around Amersham on the Hill, you’ll mostly find houses and bungalows, from older cottages to newer builds. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do in a big town.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Your questions about remedial sealant in Amersham on the Hill
Do you work in hotels near Amersham on the Hill?
Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
I let a flat near Amersham station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Does remedial work come with a guarantee?
Yes, with our one-year guarantee. If we’ve pointed out another problem, getting it fixed helps the new joint last.
What sealant do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
How much does remedial sealant cost in Amersham on the Hill?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote.
Can you take off two layers of silicone?
Yes. Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off, before resealing with a single bead.
Can you fix a reseal that hasn’t worked?
Yes. First we check whether the leak is the sealant at all, then strip and reseal the joints.
Leave it or put it right?
Mould under a bead cannot be reached by cleaning. Removal is the only way to get at it. In an older home around Amersham on the Hill, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Why us?
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows

How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Never seal over old silicone
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
- Check trays and worktops do not move
- Clean sealant with mild products only
Go easy on the new sealant: no scraping, scouring pads or harsh chemicals.
Movement joints that have split let water into the structure, and left long enough, the edges of the joint can crumble. Resealing while the edges are sound is simpler.
Should I try it myself first?
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. All the old material has to come out first.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
How the visit works
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. For a job in Amersham on the Hill, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- The failure is looked at first, so we know whether it’s sealant, movement or water from elsewhere.
- Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.
- Mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- The joint is tooled and you are told about anything else we found.
