Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Finchampstead
Movement and expansion joints fail when the sealant can’t stretch. The old sealant comes out and backing goes in to control the depth, then a flexible sealant matched to the movement goes in. We are often asked to deal with torn expansion joints and repeat leaks from the same joint, across leaking tray & enclosure joints, failed movement joints and expansion joints.
Somewhere as small as Finchampstead, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

- Water damage behind tiles that needs a tiler
- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
- Plumbing leaks behind walls or under trays

Common problems we fix in Finchampstead
All sealant wears out eventually. Mould grows into the silicone, the surface hardens and the bead shrinks, faster where ventilation is poor. Then the only fix is removal and a new bead.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
- Over-sealed joints coming away
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
If you live in an older home near Church of St James, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

What happens on the day
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and tidy away. Most jobs take a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. Somewhere as small as Finchampstead, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- Surrounding tiles, trays and frames are protected first.
- The botched or failed sealant is cut away completely.
- We clean and degrease the joint and look for signs of movement or water.
- Once dry, a suitable sealant is applied and tooled.
- We give you the cure time and explain what caused the failure.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Tell us if parking is tricky

What the job involves on each surface
Leaking trays & enclosures
When failed joints are the cause, they’re all cut out and renewed, tray edges and screen profiles included.
Windows & doors
Frames resealed over the top end up with hard, layered mastic. All of it is cut out and the frame and wall cleaned before backing and resealing.
Leave it or put it right?
A joint that has failed twice will fail again unless the cause is dealt with. Finding it, whether movement, water from elsewhere or an unsuitable product, ends the cycle. In a small place like Finchampstead, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
Why Finchampstead clients choose us
- A 12-month guarantee on all work
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- Old sealant always removed completely
- White, clear, grey or another colour, product permitting
How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple:
- Check ceilings under showers for marks
- Clean sealant with mild products only
- Run the fan after every shower
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
Give the new sealant its full cure time: follow the cure time we give you.
A split movement joint lets rain into walls and floors, and the longer it’s left, the more the joint edges break down. A joint with sound edges is far easier to reseal.
