Remedial Sealant in Dungate
Problem with your failed sealant joints in Dungate? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant.
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
How the visit works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, protect the area around them, carry out the job and tidy away. Most jobs take a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. Somewhere as small as Dungate, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off.
- We treat any mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Advice
Remedial sealant in Dungate, done properly
Water on the floor doesn’t always mean failed silicone. Cracked trays, leaking wastes and faulty valves often look like a sealant problem. If that’s what we find, we’ll tell you rather than reseal something that will not fix it. Common call-outs are for beads that never stuck properly and floor or wall movement joints that have failed, across expansion joints, leaking tray & enclosure joints and shrunken worktop sealant.
Somewhere as small as Dungate, 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.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Why it’s worth doing now in Dungate
Mould under a bead cannot be reached by cleaning. The layers have to come out, so the joint can be treated and resealed. Older cottages and farmhouses around Dungate can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Why us?
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels

Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
- Never seal over old silicone
If we’ve found a cause, such as a loose tray or a leaking waste, get it fixed, or the new joint may fail again.
Leaks through failed sealant grow over time. Every shower or downpour sends more water through, into floors, walls or ceilings. Sorting it early limits the damage.
Different surfaces, different methods
Over-sealed & botched joints
Previous removal attempts can leave scratches or gouges. We work carefully to avoid adding to it, and tell you about any damage we find.
Windows & doors
Some leaks around windows come from the wall or the window itself. We check the joint and tell you if it looks to be something else.
