About remedial sealant in the Isle of Wight

If a joint fails again and again, something is causing it. Movement, the wrong product or a leak from somewhere else will beat any new bead. Finding that cause comes before any new sealant. We work on failed movement joints, leaking tray & enclosure joints and botched or over-sealed joints, and the jobs we see most are products that weren’t meant for the joint and gaps opening along the back of the worktop.

You don’t need to clear the whole room or building, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out for a typical job.

First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off.
We treat any mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
The joint is tooled and you’re told about anything else we found.

Pricing in the Isle of Wight

A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

What you get with us

Where we work in the Isle of Wight

From Newport, Ryde and Cowes to its smaller places, homes across the Isle of Wight have bathrooms and kitchens of every age. Sealant and grout wear out in all of them, whether it’s a family bathroom, a rented flat or a hotel en suite.

Hard water across most of the South East leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings. For any job in the Isle of Wight, joints are cleaned back properly before anything new goes in. Parts of the Isle of Wight are on or near the coast, where wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are hard on outside sealant. Walls facing the sea are usually the first to need attention.

Newport: In and around Newport, as anywhere, good remedial sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint. Managing a site like Nine Acres Primary School? Then washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.

Can I do it myself?

A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.

Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.

What sealant work can’t fix

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:

Water damage behind tiles that needs a tiler
Cracks in the fitting rather than the joint
Plumbing leaks behind walls or under trays

How the job changes by surface

Over-sealed & botched joints

Previous removal attempts can leave scratches or gouges. We take care not to make it worse, and point out any existing damage.

Movement & expansion joints

Movement joints in floors, walls and façades need a flexible sealant set to the right depth. We remove the failed sealant, fit backing and reseal with a low-modulus product.

What affects the cost of remedial sealant

There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:

Any mould that needs treating
Whether the work is at height
Any working-time requirements on site
The product the joint needs

No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.

Helping us quote

FAQs for the Isle of Wight

How long does remedial resealing take?

Longer than a simple reseal, because every layer has to come out. Most jobs take a few hours.

Do you do commercial work?

Yes, regularly. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area to suit the site.

Where are you based?

We’re based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.

Will it make a mess?

No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.

Do the sealants smell?

That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.

Do you work in the Isle of Wight?

Yes. From our base in Crawley, we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland, the Isle of Wight included.

Do I need to be at home?

That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access.
