How we handle remedial sealant in Fickleshole
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. New sealant only bonds to a clean, dry joint. We work on botched or over-sealed joints, mouldy bath & shower sealant and shrunken worktop sealant, and common reasons people get in touch are kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop and caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area.
Homes around Fickleshole 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.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Different surfaces, different methods
Movement & expansion joints
Movement joints in floors, walls and façades need a flexible sealant set to the right depth. Failed sealant is cut out, backing rod or tape is fitted and the joint resealed with a low-modulus product.
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Black mould inside the bead will not scrub out. The sealant is cut out completely, the joint treated with a mould remover and dried ahead of a new anti-fungal bead.
Landlord and commercial work in Fickleshole
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
We also work for property managers and facilities teams. We can quote a run of properties together, and we are fully insured.
What we can’t put right
In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Cracks in the fitting rather than the joint
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
- A leaking trap, valve or supply pipe
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Where we work in Fickleshole
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Expansion joints
- Failed movement joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
What happens if it’s left?
Spraying mould remover on a sealed-over joint does not reach what’s underneath. Removal is the only way to get at it, and the joint treated and dried before resealing. Older cottages and farmhouses around Fickleshole can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.

Signs you need remedial sealant in Fickleshole
Some joints fail because water is reaching them from behind. A slow leak behind the tiles soaks the joint from the back, and the sealant lifts or goes mouldy from underneath.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
- Over-sealed joints coming away
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
In the older streets around Church of St Leonard, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
Questions to ask before booking
- What insurance they hold
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- How hidden problems are handled
- What the cure time is
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
- Find out why the sealant failed first
- Deal with small splits early
Go easy on the new sealant: no scraping, scouring pads or harsh chemicals.
Signs to act on: peeling layers, mould showing through the bead, leaks after showering or cracks in a movement joint. Each one is worth getting looked at.
What happens on the day
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The work itself takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. Somewhere like Fickleshole needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We protect the surfaces around the joint.
- The botched or failed sealant is cut away completely.
- We clean and degrease the joint and look for signs of movement or water.

- We give you the cure time and explain what caused the failure.
How to prepare
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
