Remedial sealant in Effingham
Movement and expansion joints fail when the sealant cannot stretch. We cut out the failed sealant and set the depth with backing, before resealing with a flexible product suited to the movement. Typical jobs include kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop and mould trapped under a layer of silicone, on mouldy bath & shower sealant, botched or over-sealed joints and leaking tray & enclosure joints.
Homes around Effingham are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats. The work is the same as anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

- The rough size of the job

Why it’s worth doing now in Effingham
Leaks that are left keep doing damage out of sight: wet floors, stained ceilings and swollen worktops. By comparison, sorting the joint is quick. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Effingham, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you are unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

What the job involves on each surface
Movement & expansion joints
Bonding on three sides is a common reason movement joints tear. Backing rod or bond-breaker tape prevents it, letting the sealant flex between the two faces.
Leaking trays & enclosures
Repeat shower leaks often come from a tray that flexes or an enclosure sealed in the wrong place. We check both before we reseal.
Effingham homes and their sealant
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Lawrence, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. Schools such as St Lawrence Primary School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. Rented homes near Bookham station change hands often, and botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.

- Surrounding tiles, trays and frames are protected first.
- The botched or failed sealant is cut away completely.
- The joint is degreased and checked for movement and leaks.
- Once dry, a suitable sealant is applied and tooled.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
- Find out why the sealant failed first
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
If the joint ever needs renewing, have it cut out, not sealed over. Over-sealing is how many remedial jobs start.
Mould under a second layer of sealant keeps growing out of sight. When it finally shows, the whole bead needs to come out.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
