How we handle remedial sealant in Hogben's Hill
Some sealant jobs aren’t a simple reseal, because someone has already had a go. Silicone laid over silicone, smears across tiles, the wrong product in a moving joint or mould trapped underneath all need stripping out. Common call-outs are for sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted and sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface, on leaking tray & enclosure joints, mouldy bath & shower sealant and failed movement joints.
Somewhere as small as Hogben's Hill, 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.

Signs you need remedial sealant in Hogben's Hill
Water from somewhere else can ruin a good seal. A slow leak behind the tiles soaks the joint from the back, so the silicone goes mouldy or lets go.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
If you look after a building such as Selling Church of England Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
What your quote should include

Why act early in Hogben's Hill
Repeat failures have a cause. Finding it, whether movement, water from elsewhere or an unsuitable product, ends the cycle. In a small place like Hogben's Hill, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.

What we cannot put right
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Water damage behind tiles that needs a tiler

- A leaking trap, valve or supply pipe
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Deal with small splits early
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
- Keep the room well ventilated
Keep the room ventilated: use the extractor or open a window after showering.
Leaks through failed sealant grow over time. Every shower or downpour sends more water through, into floors, walls or ceilings. Early action keeps it to a sealant job.
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. All the old material has to come out first.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.

What else we do in Hogben's Hill
Surface by surface
Worktops & kitchens
Kitchen joints often have grease and cleaning residue deep in them, so we spend extra time cleaning before resealing.
Leaking trays & enclosures
A shower that leaks after resealing often has a tray that moves or an enclosure sealed on the wrong side. Both are checked before we reseal.
