- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop

What the job involves on each surface
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.
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Mould often spreads under the bead as well as through it. We treat the exposed joint once the bead is out so the new sealant starts clean.
Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Britwell Salome
Remedial jobs in Britwell Salome 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 are often asked to deal with gaps opening along the back of the worktop and products that weren’t meant for the joint, on botched or over-sealed joints, shrunken worktop sealant and mouldy bath & shower sealant.
For a small place like Britwell Salome, remedial sealant is planned like any other job: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. Once we are there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Britwell Salome: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Britwell Salome?
Yes. Britwell Salome is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you work in hotels near Britwell Salome?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
How long does the work take?
Allow a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. You’ll know the timing when we quote.
What do you put in the joint?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Can you match the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Does someone need to be in?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Can you fix a reseal that hasn’t worked?
Yes. There’s normally a reason: sealant over sealant, movement or another leak, so we find that first.
Why it’s worth doing now in Britwell Salome
DIY removal often leaves scratches and a film of residue, and the residue left behind stops the next bead bonding. Careful removal is most of a remedial job. In a small place like Britwell Salome, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Remedial sealant around Britwell Salome
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. Britwell Salome has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Nicholas, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

Common problems we fix in Britwell Salome
Water from somewhere else can ruin a good seal. A slow leak behind the tiles soaks the joint from the back, so the silicone goes mouldy or lets go.
People generally contact us after spotting something like this:
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
- Beads that never stuck properly
- Torn expansion joints
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
Managing a site like Icknield Community College? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
