What happens if it’s left?
Repeat failures have a cause. Taking time to find the cause, whether it’s movement, a leak or the wrong product, is what stops it happening again. Around Heads Hill, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.

About our remedial sealant in Heads Hill
A joint that keeps letting you down needs more than another bead. Send photos when you call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email. We work on leaking tray & enclosure joints, expansion joints and botched or over-sealed joints, and people most often call us about sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface and leaks that keep coming back after resealing.
For a small place like Heads Hill, remedial sealant is planned like any other job: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Once we’re there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

How it works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, protect the area around them, carry out the job and clear up. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. In a small place like Heads Hill, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- 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.
- We treat any mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
How to prepare
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

FAQs for Heads Hill
Can you do remedial sealant in Heads Hill?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Heads Hill is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do you work for landlords with property near Thatcham station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Is it worth trying it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
How much does remedial sealant cost in Heads Hill?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote.
Do you fix expansion and movement joints?
Yes. Backing sets the depth and stops the sealant sticking to the back, which lets it stretch.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
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 the job involves on each surface
Leaking trays & enclosures
Where the joints are the problem, every bead is stripped and resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone, including the screen profile and tray edges.
Over-sealed & botched joints
Thick, smeared sealant looks messy and hides problems. Taking it back shows what’s underneath, and then we reseal it neatly.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Heads Hill
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we will give you a quote.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.

What else we do in Heads Hill
What affects the cost of remedial sealant
We don’t publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- The type of sealant required
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Any mould that needs treating
- Working hours on commercial sites
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, let us know:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Roughly how big the job is
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email pictures if that is easy.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Heads Hill
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
For landlords with property near Thatcham station, botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Cheam School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. In the older streets around Church of St Peter, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
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, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
- Do not point over movement joints
- Clean sealant with mild products only
- Act on a lifting corner right away
Where we have pointed out another fault, have it put right, or the new joint may fail again.
Movement joints that have split let water into the structure, and the longer it’s left, the more the joint edges break down. Resealing while the edges are sound is simpler.
