Remedial Sealant in South Lanarkshire

Remedial sealant across South Lanarkshire: what to expect

Getting old sealant out properly is slow, careful work. Every layer is cut out, the residue cleaned off and the joint degreased, without scratching tiles, trays or frames. New sealant only bonds to a clean, dry joint. We work on failed movement joints, leaking tray & enclosure joints and expansion joints, and the jobs we see most are beads that never stuck properly and over-sealed joints coming away.

All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out.

  1. We protect the surfaces around the joint.
  2. Every layer of failed sealant is stripped out.
  3. We clean and degrease the joint and look for signs of movement or water.
  4. New sealant goes in once the joint is dry, and is tooled smooth.
  5. You get the cure time and our view on why the joint failed.

For landlords and businesses

A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.

If you manage several properties in or around South Lanarkshire, jobs at different addresses can be quoted together. Send us the addresses and the work at each, and pictures by email help.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after new joints is easy:

  • Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
  • Do not wait for a small gap to become a leak
  • Run the fan after every shower
  • Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom

Clean gently: no scraping, scouring pads or harsh chemicals.

Movement joints that have split let water into the structure, and the longer it’s left, the more the joint edges break down. A joint with sound edges is far easier to reseal.

What we are called out for in South Lanarkshire

Movement tears sealant that isn’t designed for it. A bath that flexes, a tray that rocks or a building joint that opens and closes will split a rigid or thin bead.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
  • Over-sealed joints coming away
  • Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
  • Beads that never stuck properly

When something else is needed

  • Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first

Your questions about remedial sealant in South Lanarkshire

Do you guarantee remedial jobs?

Yes, with our 12-month guarantee. Where we’ve flagged another fault, it needs fixing for the joint to last.

Are you fully insured?

Yes, we are fully insured.

How long before the joint can be used?

Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We will give you the cure time for the product we used before we leave.

How long will it take to strip and reseal the joint?

A little longer than a standard reseal. For most joints, it’s a few hours.

Can you remove sealant that’s been put over old sealant?

Yes. We remove every layer; new silicone does not bond to old silicone, which is why over-sealing fails.

Can I choose the sealant colour?

We help you choose a colour that suits, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The product needed can limit the range.

What if resealing will not fix my leak?

You will hear it from us. If it’s a cracked tray, a failed valve or a leaking waste, resealing won’t fix it, and we will not reseal for the sake of it.
