Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Fernham
Some sealant jobs aren’t a simple reseal, because someone has already had a go. New sealant over old, smeared beads, unsuitable products and hidden mould all have to come out before the joint can be done properly. If you have thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles and beads that never stuck properly, we can help.
Around Fernham, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

Why deal with it now?
Adding more sealant is the usual quick fix, and it rarely works. It doesn’t grip the old layer, leaving the leak in place and one more layer to cut out later. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Fernham, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.

Remedial sealant in Fernham: local notes
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Managing a site like Faringdon Community College? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. If you live in an older home near Church of St John, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

How the job changes by surface
Over-sealed & botched joints
Botched joints sometimes have damaged edges from earlier scraping. We work carefully to avoid adding to it, and point out any existing damage.
Worktops & kitchens
A loose worktop splits its sealant. That needs refixing before resealing, which we will point out.
How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
- Do not add new sealant on top of old
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
Give the new sealant its full cure time: generally around 24 hours, or as long as we advise.
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.
What we can’t put right
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A leaking trap, valve or supply pipe
- A bath, tray or worktop that moves until it’s properly fixed
- Water damage behind tiles that needs a tiler
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Do you cover Fernham for remedial sealant?
Yes, Fernham is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Is there a guarantee on remedial sealant in Fernham?
All our work, in Fernham and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you fix expansion and movement joints?
Yes. We cut out the failed sealant, fit backing and reseal with a flexible product.
Is it messy?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
When is the sealant fully cured?
It depends on the product and the conditions. Before we leave, we will tell you the cure time.
Can you remove sealant that is been put over old sealant?
Yes. Both layers come out; over-sealing fails because silicone will not bond to silicone.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
My shower still leaks after a reseal. Can you sort it?
Yes. We’ll take all the sealant out, look for why it failed and reseal it properly.

What happens on the day
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we do not rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in.

Somewhere like Fernham needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We start by checking the joint for movement, leaks and the reason it failed.
- Every layer of old sealant is cut and cleaned out.
- Next, any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- Moving joints get backing and a flexible sealant to suit.
- We tool the joint and tell you about anything else that needs attention.
Getting ready for the visit

DIY sealant or a professional job?
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, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
