Remedial sealant in Buckland Common
Movement and expansion joints fail when the sealant can’t stretch. We cut out the failed sealant and set the depth with backing, before resealing with a flexible product suited to the movement. Typical jobs include a shower that leaks however often it’s resealed and dark patches showing through the sealant, across expansion joints, leaking tray & enclosure joints and botched or over-sealed joints.
In a village or hamlet like Buckland Common, 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.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Are you fully insured?

Does someone need to be in?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
Which products do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference.
How long does remedial resealing take?
It takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. We will give you a timescale when we quote.
Do you fix expansion and movement joints?
Yes. Failed movement joints are cut out and resealed with backing and a flexible sealant suited to the movement.
DIY versus a professional finish
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
How the visit works
At the end, we look at the finished work together. The work normally takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out, depending on the amount of work. For a village or hamlet like Buckland Common, 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 start by checking the joint for movement, leaks and the reason it failed.
- Every layer of old sealant is cut and cleaned out.
- Next, any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- Where the joint moves, backing and a flexible sealant suited to the movement go in.
- The new joint is tooled neatly and we explain anything else we found.
Before we arrive
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Signs you need remedial sealant in Buckland Common
Joints that move need sealant that can stretch. Flexing baths, rocking trays and building movement joints will split a rigid or thin bead.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
If you let a flat or house near Wendover station, failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.

- What happens if the job turns out different
- The length of the guarantee
How the job changes by surface
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Repeat mould normally points to a damp, poorly aired room. We’ll reseal and tell you if extraction looks to be the issue.
Over-sealed & botched joints
A thick bead smeared across tiles often hides mould or gaps. Taking it back shows what’s underneath, and then we reseal it neatly.
Why it’s worth doing now in Buckland Common
DIY removal often leaves scratches and a film of residue, and any film left behind stops new sealant sticking. Careful removal is most of a remedial job. Around Buckland Common, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
