Crockham Heath homes and their sealant
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.
If you live in an older home near Parish Church of St Michael, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. For landlords with property near Newbury station, failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.

How we handle remedial sealant in Crockham Heath
A joint that keeps letting you down needs more than another bead. Send pictures when you phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email, and say how long ago it was last done. We work on leaking tray & enclosure joints, shrunken worktop sealant and failed movement joints, and people most often call us about black mould underneath the bead and smears and lumps from a botched reseal.
Around Crockham Heath, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. The work is the same as anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

What we do, step by step
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The work itself takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied, including the tidy-up. For a village or hamlet like Crockham Heath, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We start by checking the joint for movement, leaks and the reason it failed.
- Every layer of old sealant is cut and cleaned out.
- We clean the joint, treat any mould and let it dry.
- Where the joint moves, backing and a flexible sealant suited to the movement go in.
- Finally we finish the joint and talk you through what we found.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Tell us about any water getting in
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Why deal with it now?
Adding more sealant is the usual quick fix, and it rarely works. It doesn’t grip the old layer, so the leak carries on and there’s now more to remove. Older cottages and farmhouses around Crockham Heath can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.

What we are called out for in Crockham Heath
One of the commonest remedial jobs is sealant on top of sealant. Silicone doesn’t bond to silicone, so the new layer peels, and damp and mould settle between them.
People normally contact us after spotting something like this:
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
- A second bead peeling off the first
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
Schools such as Enborne C.E. Primary School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
Questions to ask before you book
- What guarantee comes with the work
- What insurance they hold
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Is VAT in the price?
How the job changes by surface
Worktops & kitchens
Kitchen joints often have grease and cleaning residue deep in them, so cleaning takes longer than in a bathroom before resealing.
Movement & expansion joints
A movement joint must be able to stretch. We remove the failed sealant, fit backing and reseal with a low-modulus product.
FAQs for Crockham Heath
Is Crockham Heath in your area for remedial sealant?

Is Crockham Heath within the area you cover?
Yes, Crockham Heath is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Does remedial work come with a guarantee?
Yes. Remedial work carries the same 12-month guarantee as all our work.
How long does the work take?
Longer than a simple reseal, because every layer has to come out. Most jobs take a few hours.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We can plan bigger jobs in stages.
Is there any odour?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
Does someone need to be in?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
- Don’t point over movement joints
- Check ceilings under showers for marks
- Clean sealant with mild products only
Keep the room ventilated: use the extractor or open a window after showering.
Warning signs: sealant lifting at the ends, a second bead visible on top of the first, black mould under the silicone, or stains below a bathroom. Any of them means it’s time for remedial work.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Crockham Heath
We also work for property managers and facilities teams. We can quote a run of properties together.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
What sealant work cannot fix
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Older mastics that may need an asbestos check before removal
- A tray or bath that’s cracked
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
