Remedial sealant in Drayton St Leonard, done properly
Removing failed sealant is the hardest part of the job. We cut out every layer, clear the residue and degrease the surfaces, taking care not to scratch the surfaces around it. New sealant only bonds to a clean, dry joint. If you have mould trapped under a layer of silicone and a second bead peeling off the first, we can help.
Around Drayton St Leonard, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats. 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 the job involves on each surface
Over-sealed & botched joints
A botched joint can hide two or three layers of sealant, including the smears and film on surrounding tiles. New sealant needs a fully clean surface.
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Mould that has grown into silicone does not clean out for good. All of it comes out, and the joint is treated and dried before anti-fungal sanitary silicone goes in.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Drayton St Leonard
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Rented homes near Culham station change hands often, and a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Leonard, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

What happens on the day

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.
- Mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The right product goes in, with backing where the joint moves.
- The joint is tooled and you’re told about anything else we found.

Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
- Deal with small splits early
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
- Check ceilings under showers for marks
Leave the new joint to cure fully before it gets wet or moves: follow the cure time we give you.
Mould trapped under over-sealed joints spreads unseen. When it finally shows, the whole bead needs to come out.

DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Why act early in Drayton St Leonard
Leaks that are left keep doing damage out of sight: wet floors, stained ceilings and swollen worktops. By comparison, sorting the joint is quick. Older cottages and farmhouses around Drayton St Leonard can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
