About our remedial sealant in Headington Hill
In Headington Hill, as anywhere, remedial jobs tend to look alike: sealant over sealant, mould under the bead, leaks that come back and movement joints that have split. Each is stripped back and done again properly. If you’re dealing with floor or wall movement joints that have failed and decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower, we can put it right.
Even in a smaller place like Headington Hill, bathrooms and kitchens see heavy daily use. Older or newer, every room gets the same approach: all the old material out, the joint cleaned and dried, then new sealant or grout.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

What affects the quote in Headington Hill
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- The type of sealant required
- Whether the work is at height
- When we can work, for business premises
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
What to tell us for a quote
To make quoting easier, please include:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- The rough size of the job
- Photos by email, if that is easy
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we will explain how we’d tackle it. Whenever you are ready, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Headington Hill questions
Do you work in hotels near Headington Hill?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Oxford station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Are you an approved applicator?

What does remedial sealant cost?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.
When is the sealant fully cured?
That depends on the sealant used, so follow the cure time we give you when we finish.
Which products do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured.
Do you fix expansion and movement joints?
Yes. Backing sets the depth and stops the sealant sticking to the back, which lets it stretch.
When it isn’t the sealant
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacing)
- Movement from fittings that are not supported
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly.
Where we work in Headington Hill
- Expansion joints
- Failed movement joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints

DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Common problems we fix in Headington Hill
Using the wrong product is a common cause: 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.
Look out for these signs:
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
- Over-sealed joints coming away
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
Rented homes near Oxford 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 Cheney 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.

How the visit works
At the end, we look at the finished work together and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself usually takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out, depending on the size of the job. Parking around Headington Hill is generally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- We start by checking the joint for movement, leaks and the reason it failed.
- All the old sealant comes out, including any layers underneath.
- The joint is cleaned, treated for mould and left to dry.
- We use the right backing and sealant for any joint that moves.
- Finally we finish the joint and talk you through what we found.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Move anything stored near the joints

Advice
For landlords and businesses
We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we’ll quote.
How the job changes by surface
Windows & doors
A frame that keeps leaking may not be the mastic. If the frame joint isn’t the cause, we’ll say so.
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Black mould inside the bead will not scrub out. All of it comes out, and the joint is treated and dried before anti-fungal sanitary silicone goes in.
