Your questions about remedial sealant in Aston Rowant
What guarantee comes with remedial sealant in Aston Rowant?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Will you come out to Aston Rowant?
Yes. Aston Rowant 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.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
Can you remove sealant that’s been put over old sealant?
Yes. Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off, then the joint is resealed once.
What if the leak is not the sealant?
That is why we look for the cause first. If we find the leak is elsewhere, we tell you before going further.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Which products do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Can you fix a reseal that hasn’t worked?
Yes. Repeat leaks generally come from over-sealing, movement or water getting in elsewhere, so we find that first.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Aston Rowant
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
If you look after a building such as Aston Rowant Church of England Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Why deal with it now?
Spraying mould remover on a sealed-over joint doesn’t reach what’s underneath. The layers have to come out. Around Aston Rowant, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.

Common problems we fix in Aston Rowant
Products get mixed up: caulk where it gets wet, rigid sealant where things move, or an acetoxy silicone on a surface it can mark. None of them last.
The problems people generally mention when they call are:
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
If you live in an older home near Church of St Peter and St Paul, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

How the visit works
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. Somewhere like Aston Rowant needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- Surrounding tiles, trays and frames are protected first.
- The botched or failed sealant is cut away completely.
- The joint is degreased and checked for movement and leaks.
- Once dry, a suitable sealant is applied and tooled.
- We give you the cure time and explain what caused the failure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Can I do it myself?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
How the job changes by surface
Worktops & kitchens
A loose worktop splits its sealant. It needs fixing down first, which we will point out.
Movement & expansion joints
Joints filled with mortar, grout or rigid filler can’t move. Where it can be raked out, we replace it with flexible sealant.
Honest limits
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- A bath, tray or worktop that moves until it’s properly fixed
- Failed tanking or loose tiles behind the sealant
- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Expansion joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
