Questions from Ashampstead Green
Do you work for landlords with property near Goring & Streatley station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Will you come out to Ashampstead Green?
Yes. Ashampstead Green is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
What does remedial sealant cost?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Call for a quick quote.
Can old silicone be taken off without scratching the tiles?
Yes. The old bead is cut and lifted with tools that suit the surface, then clean off the residue. We point out any damage that is already there.
Can you take off two layers of silicone?
Yes. It’s slower than a standard reseal, because every layer has to come out cleanly, but it’s the only way the new joint will last.
When is the sealant fully cured?
That depends on the sealant used, so follow the cure time we give you.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Most of the time, yes. We will explain which colours are available and agree one before we start.
Remedial sealant in Ashampstead Green
Remedial work is what we do when sealant has failed or been done badly. New sealant over old, smeared beads, unsuitable products and hidden mould all need stripping out. Common call-outs are for gaps opening along the back of the worktop and sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared, on leaking tray & enclosure joints, botched or over-sealed joints and shrunken worktop sealant.
For a small place like Ashampstead Green, remedial sealant is planned like any other job: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Common problems we fix in Ashampstead Green
Some joints fail because water is reaching them from behind. A leaking valve, a failed waste or cracked grout feeds water behind the bead, and the sealant lifts or goes mouldy from underneath.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
If you live in an older home near Church of St Clement, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Check trays and worktops don’t move
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
- Clean sealant with mild products only
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
If the joint ever needs renewing, have it cut out, not sealed over. New silicone doesn’t bond to old, so the old bead should always come out first.
Mould trapped under over-sealed joints spreads unseen. By the time it shows through, the joint is well past saving.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements.
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.
Remedial sealant in Ashampstead Green: local notes
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.

Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- A leaking trap, valve or supply pipe
- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacing)
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Should I try it myself first?
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.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.

A frame that keeps leaking may not be the mastic. We check the joint and tell you if it looks to be something else.
Worktops & kitchens
Kitchen joints often have grease and cleaning residue deep in them, so we spend extra time cleaning before resealing.
What happens on the day
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there.
