About remedial sealant in West Berkshire

Removing failed sealant is the hardest part of the job. Every layer is cut out, the residue cleaned off and the joint degreased, taking care not to scratch the surfaces around it. New sealant only bonds to a clean, dry joint. Common call-outs are for worktop sealant that has shrunk and split and products that weren’t meant for the joint, on leaking tray & enclosure joints, expansion joints and mouldy bath & shower sealant.

Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied, and the area is left clean.

The failure is looked at first, so we know whether it’s sealant, movement or water from elsewhere.
Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off.
Mould is treated and the joint dried.
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.

What affects the price in West Berkshire

A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

Remedial sealant across West Berkshire: local notes

From Newbury, Thatcham and Burghfield Common to its smaller places, homes across West Berkshire have bathrooms and kitchens of every age. Family bathrooms, rented flats and hotel en suites all need their sealant and grout renewing in time.

Hard water across most of the South East leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings. For any job in West Berkshire, joints are cleaned back properly before anything new goes in.

Newbury: If you live in an older home near St Nicolas Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Nicolas C.E. Junior School, 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.

Signs you need remedial sealant

One of the commonest remedial jobs is sealant on top of sealant. Silicone doesn’t bond to silicone, so the top layer lifts and water and mould collect between the two.

Look out for any of the following:

Over-sealed joints coming away
A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
Beads that never stuck properly
Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area

What affects the quote in West Berkshire

The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:

The type of sealant required
How many areas need sealing
Whether there’s mould to deal with
How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove

Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.

What we need to know

To help us quote quickly, please include:

If someone has resealed it before
What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
Where the job is, and your postcode
How we’d reach the joints

For a quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us where the job is and what the problem looks like. We will give you a clear price before any work starts.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords and letting agents in West Berkshire can book us as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order.

For anyone letting property in or around West Berkshire, jobs at different addresses can be quoted together. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs.

Should I try it myself first?

If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.

What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.

How to look after the new joints

After the cure time, these simple habits help:

Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
Keep the room well ventilated
Don’t wait for a small gap to become a leak

If the joint ever needs renewing, have it cut out, not sealed over. Over-sealing is how many remedial jobs start.

Warning signs: peeling layers, mould showing through the bead, leaks after showering or cracks in a movement joint. Each one is worth getting looked at.

Questions from West Berkshire

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for householders, landlords, letting agents, businesses and hotels in West Berkshire.

Are you fully insured?

Yes. We are fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.

How long before the joint can be used?

It depends on the product. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.

What if resealing won’t fix my leak?

Then we explain what we have found. A plumber or fitter may be needed before any new sealant goes on.

Can you remove sealant that is been put over old sealant?

Yes. It’s slower than a standard reseal, because every layer has to come out cleanly, but it’s what makes the new bead last.

Will the old sealant be removed?

Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
