Remedial sealant in Bartley
Movement and expansion joints fail when the sealant cannot stretch. The old sealant comes out and backing goes in to control the depth, then a flexible sealant matched to the movement goes in. We work on leaking tray & enclosure joints, failed movement joints and expansion joints, and people most often call us about beads that never stuck properly and leaks that keep coming back after resealing.
Somewhere as small as Bartley, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Hampshire.

Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.

When to call us in Bartley
Joint depth matters. Sealant packed too deep, or stuck to the back of the joint as well as the sides, cannot stretch, so it tears when the joint moves. Backing rod or bond-breaker tape prevents it.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
If you look after a building such as Bartley Church of England Junior School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
What your quote should include
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- What guarantee comes with the work
- Whether you can choose the colour
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
What we can’t put right
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A bath, tray or worktop that moves until it’s properly fixed
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think before booking.
What we seal
- Failed movement joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Expansion joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
Bartley questions
Will you come out to Bartley?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is Bartley in your area for remedial sealant?
Yes, Bartley is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Do you guarantee remedial jobs?
Yes. You get our 12-month guarantee.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area.
What if resealing won’t fix my leak?
We’ll tell you. If it’s a cracked tray, a failed valve or a leaking waste, resealing will not fix it, so we will not pretend it will.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
Where are you based?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Can failed expansion joints be resealed?
Yes. Where mortar or filler has been used instead of sealant, it’s removed where it can be, then the joint is sealed properly.

Why it’s worth doing now in Bartley
Hidden water does the most damage: soaked floorboards, ceiling stains below and blown plaster. By comparison, sorting the joint is quick. Older cottages and farmhouses around Bartley can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.

What we do, step by step
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the job takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied in most cases. Somewhere like Bartley needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- Surrounding tiles, trays and frames are protected first.
- Every layer of failed sealant is stripped out.
- We clean and degrease the joint and look for signs of movement or water.
- Once dry, a suitable sealant is applied and tooled.
- You get the cure time and our view on why the joint failed.
