Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Cray's Pond
Getting old sealant out properly is slow, careful work. Every layer is cut out, the residue cleaned off and the joint degreased, taking care not to scratch the surfaces around it. New sealant only bonds to a clean, dry joint. We work on mouldy bath & shower sealant, leaking tray & enclosure joints and expansion joints, and common reasons people get in touch are sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted and kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop.
Around Cray's Pond, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. The work is the same as anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Which products do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We will tell you what we’re using and why.
Do you work for letting agents?

Can you take off two layers of silicone?
Yes. We cut out all the layers and clean off the film, before resealing with a single bead.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

- Cracks in the fitting rather than the joint

- Movement from fittings that are not supported

Remedial sealant around Cray's Pond
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
Schools such as The Oratory Preparatory School are buildings too, and washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes. Rented homes near Goring & Streatley station change hands often, and failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.

Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Do not point over movement joints
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
- Keep the room well ventilated
Go easy on the new sealant: a mild cleaner and a soft cloth, with no blades or scourers.
Signs to act on: sealant lifting at the ends, a second bead visible on top of the first, black mould under the silicone, or stains below a bathroom. Each one is worth getting looked at.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we start by going over the job with you. We protect the surfaces around the joints before we start. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. Somewhere like Cray's Pond needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided 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.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Mention any tricky access
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

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.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
When to call us in Cray's Pond
Joints that move need sealant that can stretch. A bath that flexes, a tray that rocks or a building joint that opens and closes will split a rigid or thin bead.
Look out for these signs:
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
- Black mould underneath the bead
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
In the older streets around Church of St Leonard, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
Before you book anyone
- How long to leave it before use
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Whether VAT is included
For landlords and businesses
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
