Our remedial sealant service in Fife

Movement and expansion joints fail when the sealant cannot stretch. The old sealant comes out and backing goes in to control the depth, then a flexible sealant matched to the movement goes in. Typical jobs include thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles and over-sealed joints coming away, across leaking tray & enclosure joints, expansion joints and botched or over-sealed joints.

Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied.

First we find out how and where the joint has failed.
All the old sealant comes out, including any layers underneath.
Next, any mould is treated and the joint dried.
We use the right backing and sealant for any joint that moves.
The new joint is tooled neatly and we explain anything else we found.

Remedial sealant across Fife: local notes

In Fife, remedial sealant takes in flats, houses, rentals and businesses, in Dunfermline, Kirkcaldy and Glenrothes and well beyond. Wherever the job is, all the old material comes out before anything new goes in.

Scotland has its own building regulations, and homes here bring their own details: sash and case windows, harled walls and, in the towns and cities, tenement flats. Fife is part of the area we cover across Scotland. Along the coast in Fife, window and wall joints facing the sea take the brunt of the weather, so they’re often the first to fail. The right product and careful preparation help it last.

Dunfermline: If you let a flat or house near Dunfermline City station, a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Dunfermline High School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

Keeping the joints in good condition

Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:

Deal with small splits early
Find out why the sealant failed first
Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone

Leave the new joint to cure fully before it gets wet or moves: follow the cure time we give you.

Warning signs: sealant lifting at the ends, a second bead visible on top of the first, black mould under the silicone, or stains below a bathroom. Any of them means it’s time for remedial work.

How the job changes by surface

Windows & doors

Wrong-coloured or messy mastic can be replaced for appearance too, in a colour that suits the frame.

Movement & expansion joints

Joints filled with mortar, grout or rigid filler can’t move. We rake that out where it can be removed and seal with a flexible product.

DIY sealant or a professional job?

If you are 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 doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.

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.

When something else is needed

A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:

Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
A leaking trap, valve or supply pipe
Cracks in the fitting rather than the joint

Why deal with it now?

DIY removal often leaves scratches and a film of residue, and the residue left behind stops the next bead bonding. Careful stripping is where most of our time goes.

Questions to ask before you book

Which colour the sealant will be
What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
Whether VAT is included
What guarantee comes with the work

Common questions in Fife

Someone sealed over the old bead. Can you fix it?

Yes. Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off, then the joint is resealed once.

Can you strip sealant from an acrylic tray safely?

Yes. Residue is removed with a product suited to the surface rather than scraped hard.

Will you leave a mess?

We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected, and we clear up when we are done.

Do you work for hotels and businesses?

Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us and we’re fully insured.

Do you have insurance?

Yes. We are fully insured, and we’ve been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.

Do you offer different sealant colours?

Most of the time, yes. We will tell you which colours the right product comes in.

Someone resealed my shower and it’s leaking again. Can you help?

Yes. There’s usually a reason: sealant over sealant, movement or another leak, and we deal with the cause first.
