Remedial sealant & repairs in Heathfield, Hampshire
Professional remedial sealant in and around Heathfield, with every bit of old sealant taken out first.
- Torn expansion joints
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
- Beads that never stuck properly
What happens if it’s left?
Adding more sealant is the usual quick fix, and it rarely works. It can’t bond to what’s underneath, so the leak carries on and there’s now more to remove. In an older home around Heathfield, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.

Remedial sealant in Heathfield
In Heathfield, as anywhere, remedial jobs tend to look alike: over-sealed joints, hidden mould, repeat leaks and split movement joints. We strip each one back and start from scratch. We work on expansion joints, shrunken worktop sealant and failed movement joints, and people most often call us about repeat leaks from the same joint and smears and lumps from a botched reseal.
Around Heathfield, you will mostly find houses and bungalows, from older cottages to newer builds. Bathrooms and kitchens here get the same daily wear as anywhere, and the sealant and grout show it first.
All our work is covered by a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Hampshire.

Remedial sealant around Heathfield
Heathfield is within about 3 miles of the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Homes close to St Columba include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. Rented homes near Fareham station change hands often, and botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.
Heathfield is about 1 mile west of Fareham, in Hampshire. Whether you’re in the middle of Heathfield or further out, we cover remedial sealant for every kind of property, from flats and houses to offices and hotels.

Common problems we fix in Heathfield
A lot of failed joints have been sealed over rather than replaced. New silicone cannot stick to the old bead, so the top layer lifts and water and mould collect between the two.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
- A second bead peeling off the first
If you look after a building such as Ranvilles Infant School, 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.

The process
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we do not rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. In a smaller place like Heathfield, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- Surrounding tiles, trays and frames are protected first.
- Every layer of failed sealant is stripped out.
- The joint is degreased and checked for movement and leaks.
- Once dry, a suitable sealant is applied and tooled.
- You get the cure time and our view on why the joint failed.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the joints
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

What else we do in Heathfield
DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
What we can’t put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- A tray or worktop that needs refixing first
- A leaking trap, valve or supply pipe
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Expansion joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Failed movement joints
Different surfaces, different methods
Movement & expansion joints
A movement joint must be able to stretch. We remove the failed sealant, fit backing and reseal.
Windows & doors
A frame that keeps leaking may not be the mastic. We check the joint and tell you if it looks to be something else.
What affects the quote in Heathfield
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- When we can work, for business premises
- The number and length of the joints
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first and send you a clear quote before work begins.
Asking for a quote
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- If someone has resealed it before
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
We don’t publish a price list, because every job is different. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To get started, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Your questions about remedial sealant in Heathfield
Do you work for landlords with property near Fareham station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Do you take on hotel work around Heathfield?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. Rooms can be done a few at a time, so the building stays open.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.
Can you strip sealant from an acrylic tray safely?
Yes. We cut and lift the old sealant with tools suited to the surface, and the residue is cleaned away. We point out any damage that is already there.
Someone resealed my shower and it’s leaking again. Can you help?
Yes, normally. First we check whether the leak is the sealant at all, then the joints are stripped and resealed.
Should I try DIY first?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
Someone sealed over the old bead. Can you fix it?
Yes. We remove every layer; new silicone does not bond to old silicone, which is why over-sealing fails.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme.
