How we handle remedial sealant in Hillgrove
The wrong product in the wrong joint fails however neatly it’s applied. We take it out and use a sealant made for that joint. If you are dealing with leaks that keep coming back after resealing and over-sealed joints coming away, we can put it right.
In a village or hamlet like Hillgrove, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Leave it or put it right?
It’s easy to scratch acrylic, enamel or an uPVC frame cutting out old sealant, and the residue left behind stops the next bead bonding. Careful stripping is where most of our time goes. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Hillgrove, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Common problems we fix in Hillgrove
A lot of failed joints have been sealed over rather than replaced. Silicone doesn’t bond to silicone, so the new layer peels, and damp and mould settle between them.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
- Beads that never stuck properly
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Wootton Community Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

Remedial sealant around Hillgrove
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Homes close to St. Mark's Church include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. For landlords with property near Smallbrook Junction station, botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
- Act on a lifting corner straight away
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
- Don’t add new sealant on top of old
Give the new sealant its full cure time: follow the cure time we give you.
Movement joints that have split let water into the structure, and left long enough, the edges of the joint can crumble. A joint with sound edges is far easier to reseal.
How it works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can get on with your day. The job normally takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. Somewhere like Hillgrove needs a little journey planning: 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.
- The failure is looked at first, so we know whether it’s sealant, movement or water from elsewhere.
- Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off.
- Mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The right product goes in, with backing where the joint moves.
- The joint is tooled and you’re told about anything else we found.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
