About our remedial sealant in Crookham
With more than 20 years’ experience, our applicators have seen most of the ways sealant can fail. We’re ARBOMaster approved and fully insured, and remedial work carries our one-year guarantee. We work on failed movement joints, mouldy bath & shower sealant and shrunken worktop sealant, and common reasons people get in touch are sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface and smears and lumps from a botched reseal.
Around Crookham, 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.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

What happens if it’s left?
Hidden water does the most damage: wet floors, stained ceilings and swollen worktops. By comparison, sorting the joint is quick. In a small place like Crookham, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Combining jobs into one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

When something else is needed
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
- A bath, tray or worktop that moves until it’s properly fixed
- Water damage behind tiles that needs a tiler
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think before booking.

What we do, step by step
Once we’re on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. Somewhere like Crookham 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.
- We look at how the sealant has failed and check for movement or a leak path.
- All the old sealant comes out, including any layers underneath.
- We clean the joint, treat any mould and let it dry.
- Moving joints get backing and a flexible sealant to suit.
- We tool the joint and tell you about anything else that needs attention.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Remedial sealant around Crookham
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Rented homes near Thatcham station change hands often, and failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Peter, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
Crookham is about 3 miles south-east of Thatcham, in West Berkshire. We carry out remedial sealant for homeowners, landlords and businesses in Crookham. Crookham is one of 155 places in West Berkshire we cover. For nearby work, see our Reading page.

DIY versus a professional finish
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
- Keep the room well ventilated
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
If the joint ever needs renewing, have it cut out, not sealed over. Over-sealing is how many remedial jobs start, so the old bead should always come out first.
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. Each one is worth getting looked at.
How we quote for remedial sealant
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- The number and length of the joints
- Which sealant suits the joint
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
What we need to know
