East Wellow homes and their sealant
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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Wellow School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. Rented homes near Romsey station change hands often, and botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.

Remedial sealant in East Wellow
Getting old sealant out properly is slow, careful work. Every layer is cut out, the residue cleaned off and the joint degreased, without scratching tiles, trays or frames. New sealant only bonds to a clean, dry joint. We work on botched or over-sealed joints, shrunken worktop sealant and expansion joints, and common reasons people get in touch are leaks that keep coming back after resealing and sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted.
In a village or hamlet like East Wellow, 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.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Surface by surface
Windows & doors
Some leaks around windows come from the wall or the window itself. If the frame joint is not the cause, we’ll say so.
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.
Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Deal with small splits early
- Don’t point over movement joints
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
Ventilation keeps mould away from the new bead: run the fan during and after showers, or open a window.
If a joint has failed more than once, stop resealing it. Have someone find out why, or the next bead will go the same way.

FAQs for East Wellow
Do you cover East Wellow for remedial sealant?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and East Wellow is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Do you work for landlords with property near Romsey station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders, and several properties can be quoted together. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
How long will it take to strip and reseal the joint?
It takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. We’ll give you a timescale when we quote.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Where are you based?
We are based in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
What happens if the problem is the tray or the plumbing?
In that case, we tell you what we have found. A plumber or fitter may be needed before any new sealant goes on.
Can you reseal a split movement joint?
Yes. The depth is set with backing so the sealant only bonds to the two sides, which lets it stretch.
What affects the cost of remedial sealant
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Whether the work is at height
- How many areas need sealing
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Whether it has been sealed before
- The type of property
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job. Whenever you’re ready, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
The process
At the end, we look at the finished work together. The visit itself normally takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out, depending on how much there is to do. For a village or hamlet like East Wellow, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First we find out how and where the joint has failed.
- All the old sealant comes out, including any layers underneath.
- Next, any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- Moving joints get backing and a flexible sealant to suit.
- Finally we finish the joint and talk you through what we found.
How to prepare
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Advice
DIY sealant or a professional job?
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 fails, we can still redo it.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Signs you need remedial sealant in East Wellow
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.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
- Black mould underneath the bead
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
In the older streets around Church of St Margaret, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
