How the job changes by surface

Some movement joints have been filled with mortar or grout. Where it can be raked out, we replace it with flexible sealant.
Windows & doors
Smeared or badly matched mastic can be cut out and redone neatly, matched to the frame colour.
Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Church End
Remedial work is what we do when sealant has failed or been done badly. New sealant over old, smeared beads, unsuitable products and hidden mould all need stripping out before the joint can be done properly. We’re often asked to deal with dark patches showing through the sealant and leaks that keep coming back after resealing, across mouldy bath & shower sealant, shrunken worktop sealant and leaking tray & enclosure joints.
Somewhere as small as Church End, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you are covered after we have gone.

Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Deal with small splits early
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
Do not let anyone seal over it later. New silicone does not bond to old, so the old bead should always come out first.
Signs to act on: peeling layers, mould showing through the bead, leaks after showering or cracks in a movement joint. Each one is worth getting looked at.
The process
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. Somewhere like Church End needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We protect the surfaces around the joint.
- Every layer of failed sealant is stripped out.
- We clean and degrease the joint and look for signs of movement or water.
- New sealant goes in once the joint is dry, and is tooled smooth.
- You get the cure time and our view on why the joint failed.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on

Advice
What we are called out for in Church End
How a joint is built matters as much as the product. Sealant packed too deep, or stuck to the back of the joint as well as the sides, cannot stretch, so it tears when the joint moves. Backing sets the depth and stops that.
The most common problems we see are:
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
- Black mould underneath the bead
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
Letting a property close to Bramley (Hants) station? Then failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.

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 information do you need?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few pictures.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We will tell you how long to leave the joint before we leave.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Church End homes and their sealant
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as The Loddon School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St. Leonard, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
- Cracks in the fitting rather than the joint
