About our remedial sealant in Craig's End
With more than 20 years’ experience, our applicators have seen most of the ways sealant can fail. We are ARBOMaster approved and fully insured, and remedial work carries our 12-month guarantee. If you are dealing with floor or wall movement joints that have failed and beads that never stuck properly, we can put it right.
In a village or hamlet like Craig's End, 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.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Craig's End and everywhere else we cover.

What we are called out for in Craig's End
Water from somewhere else can ruin a good seal. A leaking valve, a failed waste or cracked grout feeds water behind the bead, and the sealant lifts or goes mouldy from underneath.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- A second bead peeling off the first
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
- Black mould underneath the bead
In and around Craig's End, as anywhere, good remedial sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
What your quote should include
- What guarantee comes with the work
- What happens if the job turns out different
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
Different surfaces, different methods
Leaking trays & enclosures
Where the joints are the problem, every bead is stripped and resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone, including the screen profile and tray edges.
Over-sealed & botched joints
Thick, smeared sealant looks messy and hides problems. Taking it back shows what’s underneath, and then we reseal it neatly.
Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
When something else is needed
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Movement from fittings that aren’t supported
- Cracks in the fitting rather than the joint
- A leaking trap, valve or supply pipe
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Failed movement joints
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Expansion joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints
What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you. The work normally takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out, depending on how much there is to do. In a small place like Craig's End, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by checking the joint for movement, leaks and the reason it failed.
- Every layer of old sealant is cut and cleaned out.
- Next, any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- Where the joint moves, backing and a flexible sealant suited to the movement go in.
- We tool the joint and tell you about anything else that needs attention.
Before we arrive
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Tell us about any water getting in

It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we will talk you through what we’d do. Whenever you’re ready, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Advice
What remedial sealant looks like in Craig's End
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.
In the older streets around Parish Church of St Peter and St Thomas, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
- Do not wait for a small gap to become a leak
- Never seal over old silicone
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
If the joint ever needs renewing, have it cut out, not sealed over. New silicone does not bond to old.
A failing joint rarely gets better on its own. Every shower or downpour sends more water through, into whatever is behind or below. Sorting it early limits the damage.
