Fareham Common Remedial Sealant

About our remedial sealant in Fareham Common
Getting old sealant out properly is slow, careful work. We cut out every layer, clear the residue and degrease the surfaces, without scratching tiles, trays or frames. Only then can new sealant bond. We work on expansion joints, shrunken worktop sealant and mouldy bath & shower sealant, and the jobs we see most are mould trapped under a layer of silicone and decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower.
In a smaller place like Fareham Common, homes are mostly houses and bungalows rather than flats, from older cottages to newer builds. Bathrooms and kitchens here get the same daily wear as anywhere, and the sealant and grout show it first.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Remedial sealant in Fareham Common: local notes
Fareham Common is within about 1 mile of the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
Rented homes near Fareham station change hands often, and a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty. Homes close to Parish Church of St Peter and St Paul include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

What else we do in Fareham Common
The process
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we don’t rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. In a smaller place like Fareham Common, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- We start by checking the joint for movement, leaks and the reason it failed.
- We strip the joint completely, removing any layers below.
- 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.
- Finally we finish the joint and talk you through what we found.
Getting ready for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention any tricky access

Advice
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Do you need remedial sealant in Fareham Common?
Products get mixed up: acrylic caulk in a wet area, a general-purpose sealant on a moving joint, or an acetoxy silicone on natural stone or some metals. None of them last.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
- Torn expansion joints
If you look after a building such as Wykeham House 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.
Comparing quotes

- When the joint can take water or movement
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Check ceilings under showers for marks
- Keep the room well ventilated
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
If the joint ever needs renewing, have it cut out, not sealed over. New silicone doesn’t bond to old.
Leaks through failed sealant grow over time. Each use pushes more water behind the bead, into floors, walls or ceilings. Early action keeps it to a sealant job.
Fareham Common questions
Do you cover Fareham Common for remedial sealant?
Yes, Fareham Common is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Do you cover smaller places like Fareham Common?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
How long will it take to strip and reseal the joint?
Allow a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. You’ll know the timing when we quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. Several properties can go on one quote, and between tenancies is a good time for the work.
Do the sealants smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available for many products, and we will agree it with you first.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
How the job changes by surface
Windows & doors
Smeared or badly matched mastic can be cut out and redone neatly, matched to the frame colour.
Worktops & kitchens
A loose worktop splits its sealant. That needs refixing before resealing, which we’ll point out.
