About our remedial sealant in Dorchester
If a joint fails again and again, something is causing it. A tray that moves, a worktop that is not fixed, the wrong sealant or water getting in elsewhere will beat any new bead. We look for the cause before we reseal. Typical jobs include floor or wall movement joints that have failed and mould trapped under a layer of silicone, across expansion joints, shrunken worktop sealant and failed movement joints.
Somewhere as small as Dorchester, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Oxfordshire.

What happens if it’s left?
Ripping out a bathroom isn’t normally needed. If the bath, tray and tiles are sound, remedial resealing normally puts it right. Where something else has failed, you will hear it from us. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Dorchester, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Doing several joints on one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits. We will give you a clear quote for the lot.

Your questions about remedial sealant in Dorchester
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Dorchester?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Culham station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
How long before the joint can be used?
Cure times vary by product and the conditions. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Do I have to be there?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.
Will it make a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and we clear up when we are done.
Can you take off two layers of silicone?
Yes. Both layers come out; over-sealing fails because silicone will not bond to silicone.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
- Deal with small splits early
- Run the fan after every shower
Leave the new joint to cure fully before it gets wet or moves: follow the cure time we give you.
A split movement joint lets rain into walls and floors, and the longer it’s left, the more the joint edges break down. Resealing while the edges are sound is simpler.
Can I do it myself?
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 does not work out, we can still put it right.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.

When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Older mastics that may need an asbestos check before removal
- Cracks in the fitting rather than the joint
- Plumbing leaks behind walls or under trays
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Joints and surfaces we work on

What remedial sealant looks like in Dorchester
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Dorchester. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room.
In the older streets around Dorchester Abbey, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. For landlords with property near Culham station, failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Dorchester St Birinus Church of England School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

The process
Once we are on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. Somewhere as small as Dorchester, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start by checking the joint for movement, leaks and the reason it failed.
- We strip the joint completely, removing any layers below.
- We clean the joint, treat any mould and let it dry.
- We use the right backing and sealant for any joint that moves.
- We tool the joint and tell you about anything else that needs attention.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Move anything stored near the joints
