About our remedial sealant in Burghfield Bridge
Water on the floor does not always mean failed silicone. Cracked trays, leaking wastes and faulty valves often look like a sealant problem. When the fault is elsewhere, we say so instead of resealing for the sake of it. We are often asked to deal with decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower and sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted, on mouldy bath & shower sealant, expansion joints and failed movement joints.
In a village or hamlet like Burghfield Bridge, 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.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Do you need remedial sealant in Burghfield Bridge?
Silicone only bonds to surfaces that are clean and dry. Residue, moisture or dust left in the joint weaken the bond, so it starts lifting sooner than it should.
People normally contact us when they notice something like this:
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
- Over-sealed joints coming away
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
If you live in an older home near St Matthew's, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

- How long to leave it before use

What the job involves on each surface
Leaking trays & enclosures
A cracked tray, failed valve or leaking waste needs a different fix. We say so rather than reseal.
Over-sealed & botched joints
Botched joints sometimes have damaged edges from earlier scraping. We work carefully to avoid adding to it, and point out any existing damage.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.

Related advice
Why it’s worth doing now in Burghfield Bridge
Repeat failures have a cause. Taking time to find the cause, whether it’s movement, a leak or the wrong product, is what stops it happening again. In a small place like Burghfield Bridge, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.
