How the visit works
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. In a small place like Chilbolton, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.
- We treat any mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- The joint is tooled and you are told about anything else we found.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Advice
Remedial sealant in Chilbolton
A joint that keeps letting you down needs more than another bead. It helps to have photos when you ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email. If you have beads that never stuck properly and sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
In a village or hamlet like Chilbolton, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Questions from Chilbolton
I let a flat near Andover station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Is Chilbolton in your area for remedial sealant?
Yes, Chilbolton is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
In most cases you can choose. We’ll tell you which colours the right product comes in.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
How long before the joint can be used?
That depends on the sealant used, so please follow the time we give you when we finish.
Someone resealed my shower and it’s leaking again. Can you help?
Yes. There’s generally a reason: sealant over sealant, movement or another leak, and we deal with the cause first.
Can old silicone be taken off without scratching the tiles?
Yes. Careful removal is most of a remedial job, particularly on softer surfaces like acrylic.

What to tell us for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Any access issues, like height or stairs

When to call us in Chilbolton
Joint depth matters. Sealant packed too deep, or stuck to the back of the joint as well as the sides, cannot stretch, and tears at the first real movement. Backing sets the depth and stops that.
The most common problems we see are:
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
Letting a property close to Andover station? Then botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.

Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
- Deal with small splits early
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
Do not let anyone seal over it later. New silicone doesn’t bond to old, so the old bead should always come out first.
Do not keep resealing the same joint. Have someone find out why, or the next bead will go the same way.
DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
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.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Chilbolton
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 Wherwell Primary School? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. Homes close to Church of St Mary the Less include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
