About our remedial sealant in Durrants
Remedial jobs in Durrants generally fall into a few patterns: over-sealed joints, hidden mould, repeat leaks and split movement joints. We strip each one back and start from scratch. We’re often asked to deal with worktop sealant that has shrunk and split and mould trapped under a layer of silicone, across expansion joints, leaking tray & enclosure joints and shrunken worktop sealant.
In a village or hamlet like Durrants, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

What affects the quote in Durrants
Call for a quick quote. The main things that affect it are:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The product the joint needs
- The size of the job
- Mould in or behind the old joints
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
Asking for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- How we’d reach the joints
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- If someone has resealed it before
Need a quote? Please call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the job. You’ll know what we plan to do, and what it will cost, before any work begins.
Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Check ceilings under showers for marks
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
- Check trays and worktops don’t move
- Act on a lifting corner straight away
Watch the joint over the first few weeks, particularly where the original failure was caused by movement. Should anything change, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Mould trapped under over-sealed joints spreads unseen. By the time it shows through, the joint is well past saving.
Durrants questions
I let a flat near Rowlands Castle station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can be quoted together. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Is Durrants within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done.
Is remedial work guaranteed?
Yes. You get our 12-month guarantee.
Can you take off two layers of silicone?
Yes. We cut out all the layers and clean off the film, before resealing with a single bead.
What do you put in the joint?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll explain our choice.
How long does the work take?
The number of joints and layers decides it. We’ll tell you before we start.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status.
What we’re called out for in Durrants
A lot of failed joints have been sealed over rather than replaced. Silicone does not bond to silicone, so the new layer peels, and damp and mould settle between them.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
If you let a flat or house near Rowlands Castle station, botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.
Questions to ask before booking
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Whether you can choose the colour
- What happens if the job turns out different
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
What the job involves on each surface
Over-sealed & botched joints
Botched joints sometimes have damaged edges from earlier scraping. We work carefully to avoid adding to it, and tell you about any damage we find.
Windows & doors
Smeared or badly matched mastic can be cut out and redone neatly, in a colour that suits the frame.

What else we do in Durrants
Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
What we do, step by step
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, protect the area around them, do the work and clear up. Most jobs take a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. In a small place like Durrants, access is usually the main thing to plan. 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.
- Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.
- We treat any mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- The joint is tooled and you’re told about anything else we found.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Remedial sealant in Durrants: local notes
Durrants is close to the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Managing a site like Havant Academy? Then washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes. In the older streets around St John the Baptist, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
Durrants is about 2 miles north-east of Havant, in Hampshire. For remedial sealant in and around Durrants, it’s easy to get a quote: please phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
