How we handle remedial sealant in East Lockinge
A movement joint stops working when its sealant splits or sets hard. We cut out the failed sealant and set the depth with backing, then a flexible sealant matched to the movement goes in. Typical jobs include kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop and a shower that leaks however often it’s resealed, across botched or over-sealed joints, mouldy bath & shower sealant and leaking tray & enclosure joints.
In a village or hamlet like East Lockinge, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in East Lockinge and across Oxfordshire.

What remedial sealant looks like in East Lockinge
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.
If you live in an older home near Church of All Saints, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Why deal with it now?
Ripping out a bathroom isn’t usually needed. When the fittings are sound, stripping and resealing the joints is often enough. If they’re not, we’ll tell you. Around East Lockinge, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
- Do not wait for a small gap to become a leak
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
Clean gently: a mild cleaner and a soft cloth, with no blades or scourers.
If a joint has failed more than once, stop resealing it. Get the cause found first, or the next bead will go the same way.

Different surfaces, different methods
Windows & doors

What we’re called out for in East Lockinge
Silicone only bonds to surfaces that are clean and dry. Soap film, dust, damp or old residue stop it gripping, so it starts lifting sooner than it should.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- A second bead peeling off the first
Around East Lockinge, as everywhere, remedial sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.
