FAQs for Bury's Bank
Is Bury's Bank within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
I let a flat near Newbury Racecourse station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
How long does remedial resealing take?
That depends on how many layers there are and how many joints. We’ll tell you before any work starts.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Which products do you use?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
What if resealing won’t fix my leak?
Then we explain what we’ve found. You may need a plumber or bathroom fitter before any new sealant goes on.
What should I tell you?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.

Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
- Do not wait for a small gap to become a leak
- Keep the room well ventilated
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
Do not let anyone seal over it later. New silicone doesn’t bond to old.
Leaks through failed sealant grow over time. Each use pushes more water behind the bead, into whatever is behind or below. Sorting it early limits the damage.
What we do, step by step
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. Somewhere like Bury's Bank needs a little journey planning: 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.
- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off.
- We treat any mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The right product goes in, with backing where the joint moves.
- The joint is tooled and you’re told about anything else we found.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Tell us if parking is tricky

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.
Windows & doors
A frame that keeps leaking may not be the mastic. If the frame joint is not the cause, we’ll say so.

Why it’s worth doing now in Bury's Bank
DIY removal often leaves scratches and a film of residue, and the residue left behind stops the next bead bonding. Careful stripping is where most of our time goes. Older cottages and farmhouses around Bury's Bank can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
What you get with us
- Trusted Arbo and Everbuild sealants
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Full insurance on every job
- 20+ years of sealant experience
DIY versus a professional finish
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, then guaranteed for a year.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
What affects the cost of remedial sealant
Your quote is based on your job. We look at:
- Access and height
- The size of the job
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
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 will know the price before we begin.
Helping us quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
The more we know about the job, the more useful the 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 around Bury's Bank

For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. For landlords with property near Newbury Racecourse station, botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.

When to call us in Bury's Bank
Some joints fail because water is reaching them from behind. A slow leak behind the tiles soaks the joint from the back, and the sealant lifts or goes mouldy from underneath.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
- Torn expansion joints
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
Managing a site like The Willows Primary School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
