Surface by surface
Over-sealed & botched joints
Thick, smeared sealant looks messy and hides problems. Taking it back shows what’s underneath.
Windows & doors
Frames resealed over the top end up with hard, layered mastic. We remove it all and clean back to sound surfaces before backing and resealing.
How we handle remedial sealant in Curridge
Getting old sealant out properly is slow, careful work. We cut out every layer, clear the residue and degrease the surfaces, without scratching tiles, trays or frames. Only then can new sealant bond. If you’re dealing with leaks that keep coming back after resealing and decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower, we can put it right.
Homes around Curridge are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
All our work is covered by our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in West Berkshire.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Curridge
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.

Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Do not wait for a small gap to become a leak
- Never seal over old silicone
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
Clean gently: no scraping, scouring pads or harsh chemicals.
Movement joints that have split let water into the structure, and left long enough, the edges of the joint can crumble. A joint with sound edges is far easier to reseal.
Questions from Curridge
Do you cover smaller places like Curridge?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you cover Curridge for remedial sealant?
Yes, Curridge is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Can you reseal a split movement joint?
Yes. If a joint has been filled with mortar or rigid filler, we rake it out where possible, and reseal with a flexible product.
Someone resealed my shower and it’s leaking again. Can you help?
Yes. Repeat leaks normally come from over-sealing, movement or water getting in elsewhere, and we deal with the cause first.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We can plan bigger jobs in stages.
Someone sealed over the old bead. Can you fix it?
Yes. It’s slower than a standard reseal, because every layer has to come out cleanly, but it’s the only way the new joint will last.
What affects the cost of remedial sealant
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- The number of rooms or windows

- The old material and how stubborn it is
We do not show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will talk you through it.

Remedial sealant in Curridge: local notes
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.
For an older house near a landmark such as Holy Trinity, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. Schools such as Curridge Primary School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. If you let a flat or house near Newbury Racecourse station, botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Honest limits
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we will tell you before we start. Sealant won’t put right:
- Water damage behind tiles that needs a tiler
- Plumbing leaks behind walls or under trays
- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think.

What we do, step by step
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out and we leave things clean and tidy. Somewhere like Curridge needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.

- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- The joint is tooled and you are told about anything else we found.
