Remedial sealant in Buckland, done properly
Removing failed sealant is the hardest part of the job. We cut out every layer, clear the residue and degrease the surfaces, taking care not to scratch the surfaces around it. New sealant only bonds to a clean, dry joint. We work on botched or over-sealed joints, shrunken worktop sealant and failed movement joints, and common reasons people get in touch are floor or wall movement joints that have failed and black mould underneath the bead.
In a village or hamlet like Buckland, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

When something else is needed
In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Movement from fittings that aren’t supported
- Cracks in the fitting rather than the joint
- Tiles that have come away from the wall

When to call us in Buckland
Using the wrong product is a common cause: caulk where it gets wet, rigid sealant where things move, or an acetoxy silicone on a surface it can mark. Each fails in its own way.
People normally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Beads that never stuck properly
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
In the older streets around Roman Catholic Church of St George, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

Leave it or put it right?
Adding more sealant is the usual quick fix, and it rarely works. It does not grip the old layer, leaving the leak in place and one more layer to cut out later. Around Buckland, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.

Read what affects the cost and what customers say.
Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
