Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Bursledon

Removing failed sealant is the hardest part of the job. Every layer is cut out, the residue cleaned off and the joint degreased, taking care not to scratch the surfaces around it. Only then can new sealant bond. We work on botched or over-sealed joints, leaking tray & enclosure joints and expansion joints, and people most often call us about gaps opening along the back of the worktop and floor or wall movement joints that have failed.

In and around Bursledon, older properties sit alongside newer ones. In older homes, walls and floors can move a little more, so the right flexible sealant matters.

Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

What affects the cost of remedial sealant

Your quote is based on your job. We look at:

  • Any mould that needs treating
  • The product the joint needs
  • Working hours on commercial sites
  • How many rooms, windows or areas are involved

No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.

Helping us quote

You do not need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:

  • The address or postcode of the job
  • How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
  • Any previous sealing or DIY work
  • Access, such as stairs, a lift or height

Need a quote? Please call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the job. You’ll know what we plan to do, and what it will cost, before any work begins.

DIY versus a professional finish

Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.

What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Bursledon

Bursledon is close to the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.

Managing a site like Bursledon Church of England Infant School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. Rented homes near Bursledon station change hands often, and failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.

Why deal with it now?

Remedial work takes longer than a straight reseal, but not by much: the work takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. It’s far less disruption than resealing the same joint again and again. In an older home around Bursledon, damp from a failed joint can get 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: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.

What you get with us

  • Colour picked to suit the job
  • Trusted Arbo and Everbuild sealants

FAQs for Bursledon

I let a flat near Bursledon station. Can you help?

Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.

Do you cover smaller places like Bursledon?

Yes, Bursledon is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.

Which products do you use?

We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice.

Someone sealed over the old bead. Can you fix it?

Yes. We cut out all the layers and clean off the film, then the joint is resealed once.

Are you fully insured?

Yes. We are fully insured.

Do you take out the old sealant first?

Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before resealing.

What if the leak is not the sealant?

We will tell you. A cracked tray, faulty valve or leaking waste needs a different trade, so we will not pretend it will.

Is it worth trying it myself?

Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.

What we can’t put right

A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:

  • A tray or bath that’s cracked
  • Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first

If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Where we work in Bursledon

  • Expansion joints
  • Leaking tray & enclosure joints
  • Botched or over-sealed joints
  • Mouldy bath & shower sealant
  • Shrunken worktop sealant
  • Failed movement joints

How it works

We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. Parking around Bursledon is normally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.

  1. Surrounding tiles, trays and frames are protected first.
  2. The botched or failed sealant is cut away completely.
  3. We clean and degrease the joint and look for signs of movement or water.
  4. New sealant goes in once the joint is dry, and is tooled smooth.
  5. We give you the cure time and explain what caused the failure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
  • Clear the area around the work
  • Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Advice

What we are called out for in Bursledon

All sealant wears out eventually. Over the years it shrinks, hardens and gets colonised by mould. Then the only fix is removal and a new bead.

Any of these means the joints need attention:

  • A second bead peeling off the first
  • Beads that never stuck properly
  • Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
  • A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed

In the older streets around St Paul’s Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether all the old sealant comes out first
  • What product goes in the joint
  • Whether they’re fully insured
  • How the surfaces are prepared before sealing

Aftercare tips

Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:

  • Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
  • Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
  • Do not point over movement joints
  • Find out why the sealant failed first

Where we’ve pointed out another fault, have it put right, because the new sealant can’t hold back a problem underneath.

Mould under a second layer of sealant keeps growing out of sight. By the time it shows through, the joint is well past saving.
