Hightown Remedial Sealant
Failed sealant joints in Hightown need attention? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant.
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
About our remedial sealant in Hightown
Movement and expansion joints fail when the sealant cannot stretch. The old sealant comes out and backing goes in to control the depth, before resealing with a flexible product suited to the movement. If you are dealing with mould trapped under a layer of silicone and movement joints that have split or pulled away, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Somewhere as small as Hightown, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after we have gone.

Signs you need remedial sealant in Hightown
Silicone only bonds to surfaces that are clean and dry. Residue, moisture or dust left in the joint weaken the bond, and the joint starts to come away early.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
- Beads that never stuck properly
- Torn expansion joints
For an older house near a landmark such as St John the Baptist, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

What the job involves on each surface
Over-sealed & botched joints
Previous removal attempts can leave scratches or gouges. We work carefully to avoid adding to it, and point out any existing damage.
Windows & doors
Smeared or badly matched mastic can be cut out and redone neatly, matched to the frame colour.
When it isn’t the sealant
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- A tray or worktop that needs refixing first
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Shrunken worktop sealant

How it works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The work normally takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out, depending on the amount of work. For a village or hamlet like Hightown, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
- Don’t add new sealant on top of old
- Deal with small splits early
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
Don’t let anyone seal over it later. New silicone doesn’t bond to old, so the old bead should always come out first.
If a joint has failed more than once, stop resealing it. Have someone find out why, or the next bead will go the same way.
