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 Frilsham, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
Why book with us
- Homes, businesses and hotels
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator
- We never seal over old sealant
- We leave the area clean and tidy

How we handle remedial sealant in Frilsham
A movement joint stops working when its sealant splits or sets hard. We cut out the failed sealant and set the depth with backing, before resealing with a flexible product suited to the movement. Typical jobs include gaps opening along the back of the worktop and black mould underneath the bead, on mouldy bath & shower sealant, expansion joints and botched or over-sealed joints.
Around Frilsham, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Honest limits
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- A tray or bath that is cracked
- A leaking trap, valve or supply pipe
- Water damage behind tiles that needs a tiler
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Expansion joints
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Failed movement joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Botched or over-sealed joints
Can I do it myself?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
What happens on the day
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out and we leave things clean and tidy. Somewhere like Frilsham needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. 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.
- The joint is degreased and checked for movement and leaks.
- New sealant goes in once the joint is dry, and is tooled smooth.
- You get the cure time and our view on why the joint failed.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

What remedial sealant looks like in Frilsham
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
Rented homes near Midgham station change hands often, and failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak. Managing a site like Yattendon C.E. Primary School? Then 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. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Frideswide, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Check ceilings under showers for marks
- Run the fan after every shower
- Find out why the sealant failed first
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
Leave the new joint to cure fully before it gets wet or moves: generally around 24 hours, or as long as we advise.
Mould under a second layer of sealant keeps growing out of sight. By the time it shows through, the joint is well past saving.
Frilsham questions
Will you come out to Frilsham?
Yes, Frilsham is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you do remedial sealant in Frilsham?
Yes, Frilsham is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
How long does remedial resealing take?
Longer than a simple reseal, because every layer has to come out. Most jobs take a few hours, and we confirm the time with your quote.
Can you take off two layers of silicone?
Yes. Stripping layered sealant takes longer than a normal reseal, but it’s what makes the new bead last.
Is remedial work guaranteed?
Yes. Every job comes with our one-year guarantee.
Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
