About our remedial sealant in Ardley
In Ardley, as anywhere, remedial jobs tend to look alike: over-sealed joints, hidden mould, repeat leaks and split movement joints. Each is stripped back and done again properly. If you are dealing with thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles and kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop, we can help, on shrunken worktop sealant, expansion joints and botched or over-sealed joints alike.
Somewhere as small as Ardley, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
Every job is covered by our one-year guarantee.

What sealant work can’t fix
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
- A tray or bath that is cracked
- Plumbing leaks behind walls or under trays
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Expansion joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Failed movement joints
Why it’s worth doing now in Ardley
Repeat failures have a cause. Finding it, whether movement, water from elsewhere or an unsuitable product, ends the cycle. Older cottages and farmhouses around Ardley can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.
What you get with us
- White, clear, grey or another colour, product permitting
- Tidy, careful work
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
- Old sealant always removed completely

What else we do in Ardley
DIY versus a professional finish
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Different surfaces, different methods
Over-sealed & botched joints
Thick, smeared sealant looks messy and hides problems. Taking it back shows what’s underneath, then reseal neatly.
Movement & expansion joints
A sealant stuck to the back of the joint can’t stretch. Backing stops that, so the sealant grips the two sides only.
Remedial sealant around Ardley
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. Letting a property close to Bicester North station? Then failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.

Advice
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we’ll quote.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Check trays and worktops don’t move
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
Watch the joint over the first few weeks, particularly where the original failure was caused by movement. If anything changes, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
A split movement joint lets rain into walls and floors, and the longer it’s left, the more the joint edges break down. A joint with sound edges is far easier to reseal.
