What the job involves on each surface
Worktops & kitchens
Kitchen joints often have grease and cleaning residue deep in them, so cleaning takes longer than in a bathroom.
Leaking trays & enclosures
A cracked tray, failed valve or leaking waste needs a different fix. We say so rather than reseal.
About our remedial sealant in Askett
Remedial jobs in Askett usually fall into a few patterns: sealant over sealant, mould under the bead, leaks that come back and movement joints that have split. Each is stripped back and done again properly. We’re often asked to deal with products that weren’t meant for the joint and wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones, on leaking tray & enclosure joints, mouldy bath & shower sealant and expansion joints.
Homes around Askett are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

What affects the cost of remedial sealant
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- The type of sealant required
- The number and length of the joints
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- When we can work, for business premises
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:

Leave it or put it right?
Another bead over the top won’t fix a failed joint. It cannot bond to what’s underneath, so the leak carries on and there’s now more to remove. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Askett, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Ask us for a quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Remedial sealant in Askett: local notes
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you look after a building such as Monks Risborough CofE Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. Letting a property close to Monks Risborough station? Then a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty. In the older streets around Church of St Dunstan, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

What sealant work can’t fix
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- A bath, tray or worktop that moves until it’s properly fixed
- A leaking trap, valve or supply pipe
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Failed movement joints
- Expansion joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
What happens on the day
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the job takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out for a typical job. For a village or hamlet like Askett, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We start by checking the joint for movement, leaks and the reason it failed.
- Every layer of old sealant is cut and cleaned out.
- We clean the joint, treat any mould and let it dry.
- Moving joints get backing and a flexible sealant to suit.
- Finally we finish the joint and talk you through what we found.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Advice
Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
For landlords and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
