Boughton Aluph Remedial Sealant
Our applicators work in Boughton Aluph on removing failed, mouldy or leaking sealant and putting it right. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly and a one-year guarantee.
- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
The process
Once we’re on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. For a village or hamlet like Boughton Aluph, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We look at how the sealant has failed and check for movement or a leak path.
- Every layer of old sealant is cut and cleaned out.
- Next, any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We use the right backing and sealant for any joint that moves.
- The new joint is tooled neatly and we explain anything else we found.
Preparing for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Clear the area around the work

How we handle remedial sealant in Boughton Aluph
Remedial jobs in Boughton Aluph normally fall into a few patterns: over-sealed joints, hidden mould, repeat leaks and split movement joints. We strip each one back and start from scratch. If you’re dealing with worktop sealant that has shrunk and split and floor or wall movement joints that have failed, we can put it right.
Homes around Boughton Aluph 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.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
How the job changes by surface
Over-sealed & botched joints
A thick bead smeared across tiles often hides mould or gaps. We strip it back so we can see the joint, and then we reseal it neatly.
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Black mould inside the bead won’t scrub out. All of it comes out, and the joint is treated and dried before anti-fungal sanitary silicone goes in.

How long before the joint can be used?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We’ll tell you how long to leave the joint before we leave.
How long does the work take?
It takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. You’ll know the timing when we quote.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Just list everything you need and we’ll quote it together.
Where are you based?
Our base is in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Should I try DIY first?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Do I have to be there?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
What sealant work can’t fix
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Movement from fittings that aren’t supported
- Failed tanking or loose tiles behind the sealant
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal

What affects the cost of remedial sealant
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Any mould that needs treating
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The size of the job
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Asking for a quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- The address or postcode of the job
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is.
Leave it or put it right?
Another bead over the top won’t fix a failed joint. It does not grip the old layer, leaving the leak in place and one more layer to cut out later. Around Boughton Aluph, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Boughton Aluph homes and their sealant
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Schools such as Wye School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. If you live in an older home near All Saints’ Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. For landlords with property near Wye station, a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.
