Remedial Sealant in Great Totham
Remedial sealant across Great Totham and nearby, with every bit of old sealant taken out first and a 12-month guarantee.
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
How we handle remedial sealant in Great Totham
Movement and expansion joints fail when the sealant can’t stretch. We cut out the failed sealant and set the depth with backing, before resealing with a flexible product suited to the movement. If you have smears and lumps from a botched reseal and black mould underneath the bead, we can put it right, on leaking tray & enclosure joints, failed movement joints and shrunken worktop sealant alike.
Even in a smaller place like Great Totham, bathrooms and kitchens see heavy daily use. Whether it’s a cottage bathroom or a newer en suite, the approach is the same: old sealant or grout cut out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh finish laid.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

How the job changes by surface
Over-sealed & botched joints
Every layer has to come out, including the smears and film on surrounding tiles. Only a clean joint will take a new bead.
Movement & expansion joints
A movement joint must be able to stretch. We remove the failed sealant, fit backing and reseal.
Why deal with it now?
DIY removal often leaves scratches and a film of residue, and the residue left behind stops the next bead bonding. Careful stripping is where most of our time goes. Homes in smaller places like Great Totham can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
Combining jobs into one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

Do you need remedial sealant in Great Totham?
Sealant needs a clean, dry surface with no grease on it. Residue, moisture or dust left in the joint weaken the bond, so it starts lifting sooner than it should.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Over-sealed joints coming away
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Great Totham Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

How it works
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you. We protect the surfaces around the joints before work begins. The work generally takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. A visit to Great Totham is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- The failure is looked at first, so we know whether it’s sealant, movement or water from elsewhere.
- Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.
- Mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

What affects the quote in Great Totham
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The size of the job
- Any mould that needs treating
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
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 need to know
You don’t need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- The problem you’ve noticed
- How we’d reach the joints
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know what needs doing and where. Photos by email help us understand the job.
For landlords and businesses
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.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements.
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 call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
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 doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
