How the job changes by surface
Worktops & kitchens
Kitchen joints often have grease and cleaning residue deep in them, so cleaning takes longer than in a bathroom before resealing.
Over-sealed & botched joints
Previous removal attempts can leave scratches or gouges. We work carefully to avoid adding to it, and tell you about any damage we find.
About our remedial sealant in Bledington
Movement and expansion joints fail when the sealant cannot stretch. We cut out the failed sealant and set the depth with backing, then a flexible sealant matched to the movement goes in. Typical jobs include leaks that keep coming back after resealing and floor or wall movement joints that have failed, on failed movement joints, mouldy bath & shower sealant and leaking tray & enclosure joints.
In a village or hamlet like Bledington, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
Every job is covered by a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Oxfordshire.

The process
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we don’t rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. In a small place like Bledington, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We protect the surfaces around the joint.
- The botched or failed sealant is cut away completely.
- We clean and degrease the joint and look for signs of movement or water.
- Once dry, a suitable sealant is applied and tooled.
- We give you the cure time and explain what caused the failure.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Why act early in Bledington
Another bead over the top will not fix a failed joint. It doesn’t grip the old layer, leaving the leak in place and one more layer to cut out later. In a small place like Bledington, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Do you need remedial sealant in Bledington?
How a joint is built matters as much as the product. A bead bonded on three sides, or laid too thick, can’t flex, so it tears when the joint moves. Backing sets the depth and stops that.
The most common problems we see are:
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
If you live in an older home near Church of St Leonard, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
Before you book anyone
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- What insurance they hold

Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Find out why the sealant failed first
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
Watch the joint over the first few weeks, especially if movement was the problem. If anything changes, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Signs to act on: sealant lifting at the ends, a second bead visible on top of the first, black mould under the silicone, or stains below a bathroom. Any of them means it’s time for remedial work.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
