How we handle remedial sealant in Forestside
Removing failed sealant is the hardest part of the job. Every layer is cut out, the residue cleaned off and the joint degreased, taking care not to scratch the surfaces around it. New sealant only bonds to a clean, dry joint. If you are dealing with a shower that leaks however often it’s resealed and torn expansion joints, we can put it right.
Homes around Forestside are mostly 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.
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Hampshire.

Forestside homes and their sealant
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.
If you let a flat or house near Rowlands Castle station, failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.

Signs you need remedial sealant in Forestside
Products get mixed up: acrylic caulk in a wet area, a general-purpose sealant on a moving joint, or an acetoxy silicone on natural stone or some metals. None of them last.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
If you live in an older home near Christ Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
- Don’t point over movement joints
- Keep the room well ventilated
Don’t let anyone seal over it later. Over-sealing is how many remedial jobs start.
A failing joint rarely gets better on its own. Each use pushes more water behind the bead, into floors, walls or ceilings. Sorting it early limits the damage.
For landlords and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Landlords and letting agents in Forestside can book us as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
What we do, step by step
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. In a small place like Forestside, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by checking the joint for movement, leaks and the reason it failed.
- All the old sealant comes out, including any layers underneath.
- We clean the joint, treat any mould and let it dry.
- We use the right backing and sealant for any joint that moves.
- The new joint is tooled neatly and we explain anything else we found.
Before we arrive
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Advice
Leave it or put it right?
Adding more sealant is the usual quick fix, and it rarely works. It does not 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 Forestside, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
