Burghfield Hill homes and their sealant
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. Schools such as Garland Junior School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. Letting a property close to Mortimer station? Then botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.

How we handle remedial sealant in Burghfield Hill
Some sealant jobs aren’t a simple reseal, because someone has already had a go. Silicone laid over silicone, smears across tiles, the wrong product in a moving joint or mould trapped underneath all need stripping out. Typical jobs include beads that never stuck properly and sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted, on botched or over-sealed joints, mouldy bath & shower sealant and leaking tray & enclosure joints.
In and around Burghfield Hill, older properties sit alongside newer ones. Older homes can move a little with the seasons, which is hard on tired sealant and rigid grout.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Surface by surface
Movement & expansion joints
Movement joints in floors, walls and façades need a flexible sealant set to the right depth. We remove the failed sealant, fit backing and reseal with a low-modulus product.
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Where mould keeps coming back, ventilation is generally part of the cause. We’ll reseal and tell you if extraction looks to be the issue.
How we quote for remedial sealant
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The number and length of the joints
- Access and height
- The product the joint needs
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first and give you a clear quote before we start.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Where the property is
- The problem you’ve noticed
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
If you’re in Burghfield Hill and need remedial sealant, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email. A short description of the job and where it is helps us quote, and we will agree the price before any work begins.

When something else is needed
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- A bath, tray or worktop that moves until it’s properly fixed
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

The process
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we are working on, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. A visit to Burghfield Hill is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- We look at how the sealant has failed and check for movement or a leak path.
- We strip the joint completely, removing any layers below.
- The joint is cleaned, treated for mould and left to dry.
- We use the right backing and sealant for any joint that moves.
- Finally we finish the joint and talk you through what we found.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Why it’s worth doing now in Burghfield Hill
Another bead over the top will not fix a failed joint. It can’t bond to what’s underneath, leaving the leak in place and one more layer to cut out later. Around Burghfield Hill, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.

Burghfield Hill questions
Do you work for landlords with property near Mortimer station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Is Burghfield Hill within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We have worked for hotels, offices and other businesses, and we are fully insured.
Is remedial work guaranteed?
Yes. Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Which products do you use?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
How long does the work take?
Longer than a simple reseal, because every layer has to come out. Most jobs take a few hours, and we confirm the time with your quote.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
