- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Don’t add new sealant on top of old
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
- Don’t point over movement joints
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
Don’t let anyone seal over it later. Over-sealing is how many remedial jobs start.
If a joint has failed more than once, stop resealing it. Get the cause found first, otherwise the next attempt will fail too.
Remedial sealant in Finkley Down, done properly
Remedial work is what we do when sealant has failed or been done badly. New sealant over old, smeared beads, unsuitable products and hidden mould all have to come out. We work on expansion joints, botched or over-sealed joints and failed movement joints, and the jobs we see most are leaks that keep coming back after resealing and movement joints that have split or pulled away.
Around Finkley Down, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

What remedial sealant looks like in Finkley Down
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you look after a building such as Vigo Primary 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.

What we are called out for in Finkley Down
A lot of failed joints have been sealed over rather than replaced. New silicone cannot stick to the old bead, so the top layer lifts and water and mould collect between the two.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
Rented homes near Andover station change hands often, and botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.

How the visit works
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. Somewhere as small as Finkley Down, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- 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.
- The new joint is tooled neatly and we explain anything else we found.
Preparing for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Move anything stored near the joints

For landlords and businesses
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Can I do it myself?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Common questions in Finkley Down
Is Finkley Down within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you do remedial sealant in Finkley Down?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Finkley Down is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Is it messy?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
What if the leak isn’t the sealant?
We’ll tell you. If it’s a cracked tray, a failed valve or a leaking waste, resealing won’t fix it, and we will not reseal for the sake of it.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is generally more efficient.
Can you match the sealant colour?
In most cases you can choose. We will tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before we start.
Can you take off two layers of silicone?
Yes. We remove every layer; over-sealing fails because silicone will not bond to silicone.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes, regularly. We can plan bigger jobs in stages to suit the site.
Why deal with it now?
A failed seal rarely means a new bathroom. When the fittings are sound, stripping and resealing the joints is often enough. Where something else has failed, you’ll hear it from us. In a small place like Finkley Down, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you’re unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
