Remedial sealant in Fullerton
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. Common call-outs are for sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface and caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area, on leaking tray & enclosure joints, botched or over-sealed joints and shrunken worktop sealant.
Somewhere as small as Fullerton, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee in Fullerton and across Hampshire.

Leave it or put it right?
It’s easy to scratch acrylic, enamel or an uPVC frame cutting out old sealant, and any film left behind stops new sealant sticking. Careful stripping is where most of our time goes. In a small place like Fullerton, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.

FAQs for Fullerton
I let a flat near Andover station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Fullerton?
Yes. Fullerton is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we are fully insured too.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Someone sealed over the old bead. Can you fix it?
Yes. We remove every layer; new silicone doesn’t bond to old silicone, which is why over-sealing fails.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before applying anything new.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
We help you choose a colour that suits, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The product needed can limit the range.
Can you strip sealant from an acrylic tray safely?
Yes, with care. We cut and lift the old sealant with tools suited to the surface, then clean off the residue. Any existing damage is pointed out before work begins.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not wait for a small gap to become a leak
- Don’t add new sealant on top of old
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
- Check trays and worktops do not move
Where we’ve pointed out another fault, have it put right, or the new joint may fail again.
Signs to act on: peeling layers, mould showing through the bead, leaks after showering or cracks in a movement joint. Each one is worth getting looked at.
What remedial sealant looks like in Fullerton
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Rented homes near Andover station change hands often, and a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.

Advice
When it is not the sealant
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Older mastics that may need an asbestos check before removal
- A tray or bath that is cracked
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Expansion joints
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints

- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
Signs you need remedial sealant in Fullerton
Even good sealant ages. Mould grows into the silicone, the surface hardens and the bead shrinks, especially in damp, poorly aired rooms. At that point it has to come out.
Look out for these signs:
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
- Over-sealed joints coming away
- Black mould underneath the bead
- Torn expansion joints
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Nicholas, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
What your quote should include
- Who turns up on the day
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
