How it works
On the day, we look over the joints with you first. We protect the surfaces around the joints before we start. The work normally takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. Around East Wemyss, distance and access matter more than parking. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints.
- First we find out how and where the joint has failed.
- Every layer of old sealant is cut and cleaned out.
- The joint is cleaned, treated for mould and left to dry.
- Where the joint moves, backing and a flexible sealant suited to the movement go in.
- We tool the joint and tell you about anything else that needs attention.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Advice
Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
- Act on a lifting corner straight away
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
Ventilation keeps mould away from the new bead: use the extractor or open a window after showering.
Mould trapped under over-sealed joints spreads unseen. When it finally shows, the whole bead needs to come out.

Why act early in East Wemyss
Spraying mould remover on a sealed-over joint doesn’t reach what’s underneath. Removal is the only way to get at it. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear quote before we start.

Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
What we’re called out for in East Wemyss
Sealant needs a clean, dry surface with no grease on it. Residue, moisture or dust left in the joint weaken the bond, so it starts lifting sooner than it should.
Look out for any of the following:
- Black mould underneath the bead
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
- Over-sealed joints coming away
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
Letting a property close to Cameron Bridge station? Then a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether you can choose the colour
- Are they insured?
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
Bathrooms and kitchens in East Wemyss
East Wemyss is within about 1 mile of the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Scotland’s water is generally soft, so sealant and grout see less limescale than in much of England. But mould still grows into sealant and grout in a room that doesn’t dry out.
In the older streets around Wemyss Parish Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. If you look after a building such as Buckhaven High School, 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.
