Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Burley
With more than 20 years’ experience, our applicators have seen most of the ways sealant can fail. We’re ARBOMaster approved and fully insured, and remedial work carries our one-year guarantee. We work on botched or over-sealed joints, failed movement joints and shrunken worktop sealant, and the jobs we see most are torn expansion joints and smears and lumps from a botched reseal.
Somewhere as small as Burley, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee.

How we quote for remedial sealant
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- When we can work, for business premises
- The size of the job
- Any mould that needs treating
- The product the joint needs
Doing several joints on one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
What we need to know
To make quoting easier, please include:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- The type of property
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- A few photos by email, if you can
Every job is quoted individually, so the first step is telling us about yours. Simply phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and describe the job and send photos if you have them.
What sealant work cannot fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Plumbing leaks behind walls or under trays
- A tray or bath that is cracked
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think before you book.
Where we work in Burley

- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant

- Expansion joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
How it works
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out, and the area is left clean. For a village or hamlet like Burley, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. 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.
- We strip the joint completely, removing any layers below.
- We clean the joint, treat any mould and let it dry.
- Moving joints get backing and a flexible sealant to suit.
- Finally we finish the joint and talk you through what we found.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
How to get a quote
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and add pictures by email if you can.

Remedial sealant in Burley: local notes
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Rented homes near Sway station change hands often, and botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St John the Baptist, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
Burley is in Hampshire. We carry out remedial sealant for householders, landlords and businesses in Burley and nearby. Burley is one of 683 places in Hampshire where we work. We also work in Southampton, about 15 miles from Burley.

What we are called out for in Burley
Joints that move need sealant that can stretch. A bath that flexes, a tray that rocks or a building joint that opens and closes will split a rigid or thin bead.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Beads that never stuck properly
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Burley Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
Questions to ask before you book
- Which colour the sealant will be
- What product goes in the joint
- How long to leave it before use
- Whether they’re fully insured
How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Find out why the sealant failed first
- Don’t add new sealant on top of old
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
- Act on a lifting corner straight away
Go easy on the new sealant: no scraping, scouring pads or harsh chemicals.
Movement joints that have split let water into the structure, and the longer it’s left, the more the joint edges break down. A joint with sound edges is far easier to reseal.
Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements.
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
Your questions about remedial sealant in Burley
I let a flat near Sway station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Do you cover Burley for remedial sealant?
Yes, Burley is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Do the sealants smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Ventilation helps.
Can you match the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Can you reseal a split movement joint?
Yes. If a joint has been filled with mortar or rigid filler, we rake it out where possible, and reseal with a flexible product.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Let us know what needs doing and where, plus pictures if you have them. If we need more, we will ask.
Which products do you use?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
