About our remedial sealant in Hawridge
Some sealant jobs aren’t a simple reseal, because someone has already had a go. Silicone laid over silicone, smears across tiles, the wrong product in a moving joint or mould trapped underneath all need stripping out. We work on failed movement joints, shrunken worktop sealant and botched or over-sealed joints, and people most often call us about caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area and over-sealed joints coming away.
Around Hawridge, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats. The work is the same as anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
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 does not work out, we can still put it right.
How the visit works
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out from start to finish. For a village or hamlet like Hawridge, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First we find out how and where the joint has failed.
- All the old sealant comes out, including any layers underneath.
- Next, any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- Moving joints get backing and a flexible sealant to suit.
- We tool the joint and tell you about anything else that needs attention.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

What sealant work can’t fix
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we will tell you before any work starts. It will not solve:
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
- A tray or bath that’s cracked
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Failed movement joints
- Expansion joints
Why deal with it now?
Stripping out botched sealant adds time to a reseal, but not by much: the work takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. Compared with chasing the same leak every few months, it’s time well spent. In a small place like Hawridge, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.

- We never seal over old sealant
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Rated 4.9 stars on Google
Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Do not add new sealant on top of old
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
- Run the fan after every shower
Give the new sealant its full cure time: normally around 24 hours, or as long as we advise.
Leaks through failed sealant grow over time. Every shower or downpour sends more water through, into floors, walls or ceilings. Sorting it early limits the damage.

What should I tell you?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
In most cases you can choose. We’ll explain which colours are available and agree one before work begins.
Can you fix a reseal that hasn’t worked?
Yes. All the sealant comes out, we find out why it failed, and the joint is resealed properly.
What sealant do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what we are using.
Do you need remedial sealant in Hawridge?
How a joint is built matters as much as the product. A bead bonded on three sides, or laid too thick, cannot flex, and tears at the first real movement. Backing rod or bond-breaker tape prevents it.
Look out for these signs:
- Beads that never stuck properly
- Black mould underneath the bead
- Torn expansion joints
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Hawridge and Cholesbury Church of England School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
What to look for in a quote
- Are they insured?
- Whether VAT is included
- Who turns up on the day
- When the joint can take water or movement
