How we handle remedial sealant in Butlocks Heath
Movement and expansion joints fail when the sealant can’t stretch. The old sealant comes out and backing goes in to control the depth, before resealing with a flexible product suited to the movement. We work on botched or over-sealed joints, expansion joints and mouldy bath & shower sealant, and the jobs we see most are sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted and repeat leaks from the same joint.
For a small place like Butlocks Heath, remedial sealant is planned like any other job: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Hampshire.

What sealant work cannot fix
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacing)
- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
- Water damage behind tiles that needs a tiler
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What else we do in Butlocks Heath
The process
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before we start. Most jobs take a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. In a small place like Butlocks Heath, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- The failure is looked at first, so we know whether it’s sealant, movement or water from elsewhere.
- Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.
- Mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Advice
Do you need remedial sealant in Butlocks Heath?
Silicone only bonds to surfaces that are clean and dry. Residue, moisture or dust left in the joint weaken the bond, and the joint starts to come away early.
The most common problems we see are:
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
- Torn expansion joints
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
Managing a site like Netley Abbey Infant School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
Questions to ask before booking
- Which colour the sealant will be
- What the cure time is
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- What preparation is included
Questions from Butlocks Heath
Do you cover Butlocks Heath for remedial sealant?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Butlocks Heath is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
I let a flat near Netley station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
What do you put in the joint?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Someone resealed my shower and it’s leaking again. Can you help?
Yes, usually. First we check whether the leak is the sealant at all, then strip and reseal the joints.
Is remedial work guaranteed?
Yes. You get our 12-month guarantee.
Does someone need to be in?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that normally means someone at home.
Can you take off two layers of silicone?
Yes. We remove every layer; over-sealing fails because silicone will not bond to silicone.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Butlocks Heath homes and their sealant
Butlocks Heath 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.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. Rented homes near Netley station change hands often, and a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.

Can I do it myself?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the 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.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Why it’s worth doing now in Butlocks Heath
Mould under a bead can’t be reached by cleaning. The layers have to come out, so the joint can be treated and resealed. In a small place like Butlocks Heath, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
- Run the fan after every shower
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
If we have found a cause, such as a loose tray or a leaking waste, get it fixed, or the new joint may fail again.
If a joint has failed more than once, stop resealing it. Have someone find out why, or the next bead will go the same way.
