About our remedial sealant in Andover Down
In Andover Down, as anywhere, remedial jobs tend to look alike: sealant over sealant, mould under the bead, leaks that come back and movement joints that have split. We strip each one back and start from scratch. If you are dealing with movement joints that have split or pulled away and repeat leaks from the same joint, we can put it right, on failed movement joints, mouldy bath & shower sealant and botched or over-sealed joints alike.
Being in a small place like Andover Down makes no difference to the job itself: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Find out why the sealant failed first
- Act on a lifting corner straight away
- Clean sealant with mild products only
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
Don’t let anyone seal over it later. New silicone doesn’t bond to old, so the old bead should always come out first.
Leaks through failed sealant grow over time. Every shower or downpour sends more water through, into whatever is behind or below. Early action keeps it to a sealant job.
Signs you need remedial sealant in Andover Down
A lot of failed joints have been sealed over rather than replaced. New silicone can’t stick to the old bead, so the top layer lifts and water and mould collect between the two.
Look out for any of the following:
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
For landlords with property near Andover station, botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.

What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work starts. The work generally takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. Somewhere as small as Andover Down, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by checking the joint for movement, leaks and the reason it failed.
- All the old sealant comes out, including any layers underneath.
- We clean the joint, treat any mould and let it dry.
- Where the joint moves, backing and a flexible sealant suited to the movement go in.
- Finally we finish the joint and talk you through what we found.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Let us know about parking restrictions

FAQs for Andover Down
I let a flat near Andover station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Andover Down?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
How long should I leave it?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We will tell you how long to leave the joint.
Do you guarantee remedial jobs?
Yes, for 12 months. Where we have flagged another fault, it needs fixing for the joint to last.
Do I need to be at home?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
How the job changes by surface
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Repeat mould usually points to a damp, poorly aired room. We’ll reseal and tell you if extraction looks to be the issue.
Leaking trays & enclosures
Repeat shower leaks often come from a tray that flexes or an enclosure sealed in the wrong place. Both are checked before we reseal.
Why it’s worth doing now in Andover Down
Leaks that are left keep doing damage out of sight: soaked floorboards, ceiling stains below and blown plaster. By comparison, sorting the joint is quick. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Andover Down, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
What you get with us
- A 12-month guarantee on all work
- Full insurance on every job
