About our remedial sealant in Fordingbridge

A movement joint stops working when its sealant splits or sets hard. We cut out the failed sealant and set the depth with backing, then a flexible sealant matched to the movement goes in. If you’re dealing with kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop and a shower that leaks however often it’s resealed, we can put it right.

In and around Fordingbridge, older properties sit alongside newer ones. In older homes, walls and floors can move a little more, so the right flexible sealant matters.

All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Common questions in Fordingbridge

Is there a guarantee on remedial sealant in Fordingbridge?

All our work, in Fordingbridge and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.

Is Fordingbridge in your area for remedial sealant?

Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Fordingbridge is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing.

My shower still leaks after a reseal. Can you sort it?

Yes. All the sealant comes out, we find out why it failed, and the joint is resealed properly.

Where are you based?

Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. We cover Fordingbridge and the rest of Hampshire.

Someone sealed over the old bead. Can you fix it?

Yes. It’s slower than a standard reseal, because every layer has to come out cleanly, but it’s what makes the new bead last.

Do I have to be there?

For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you have insurance?

Yes. We’re fully insured for domestic and commercial work.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

What affects the cost of remedial sealant

Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:

  • Which sealant suits the joint
  • Whether there’s mould to deal with
  • The number of rooms or windows
  • Whether the work is at height

Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.

What we need to know

A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:

  • Pictures of the joints, sent by email
  • What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
  • Where the property is
  • Access, such as stairs, a lift or height

We don’t publish a price list. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To get started, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Landlord and commercial work in Fordingbridge

Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.

Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can be quoted together.

Should I try it myself first?

Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.

If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.

Remedial sealant around Fordingbridge

Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.

Managing a site like Fordingbridge Junior School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Why it’s worth doing now in Fordingbridge

Hidden water does the most damage: wet floors, stained ceilings and swollen worktops. Dealing with the joint now is a small job by comparison. Around Fordingbridge, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.

What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.

What we are called out for in Fordingbridge

Sealant needs a clean, dry surface with no grease on it. Soap film, dust, damp or old residue stop it gripping, so it starts lifting sooner than it should.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
  • Products that weren’t meant for the joint
  • Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
  • Mould trapped under a layer of silicone

In the older streets around St Mary's Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

Before booking anyone

  • How much experience the applicator has
  • What the cure time is
  • How the colour is chosen
  • Are they insured?

The process

When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. Parking around Fordingbridge is generally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.

  1. Surrounding tiles, trays and frames are protected first.
  2. Every layer of failed sealant is stripped out.
  3. The joint is degreased and checked for movement and leaks.
  4. New sealant goes in once the joint is dry, and is tooled smooth.
  5. We give you the cure time and explain what caused the failure.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if parking is tricky
  • Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
  • Clear the area around the work

Advice

Aftercare tips

A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:

  • Don’t add new sealant on top of old
  • Find out why the sealant failed first
  • Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
  • Clean sealant with mild products only

Ventilation keeps mould away from the new bead: run the fan during and after showers, or open a window.

Mould under a second layer of sealant keeps growing out of sight. When it finally shows, the whole bead needs to come out.
