Different surfaces, different methods
Leaking trays & enclosures
If the tray is cracked, or the leak is from the valve or waste, sealant will not fix it. We say so rather than reseal.
Windows & doors
Failed frame mastic is often hard, cracked and in several layers. We remove it all and clean back to sound surfaces before backing and resealing.
Remedial sealant in Horney Common
Water on the floor does not always mean failed silicone. Cracked trays, leaking wastes and faulty valves often look like a sealant problem. When the fault is elsewhere, we say so instead of resealing for the sake of it. If you have over-sealed joints coming away and decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower, we can help, on botched or over-sealed joints, failed movement joints and mouldy bath & shower sealant alike.
Being in a small place like Horney Common makes no difference to the job itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Once we are there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Can I do it myself?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
What we do, step by step
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out and we leave things clean and tidy. Somewhere as small as Horney Common, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- 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.
- Mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- The joint is tooled and you’re told about anything else we found.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Horney Common
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. We can quote for more than one property at once.
What happens if it’s left?
A joint that has failed twice will fail again unless the cause is dealt with. Finding it, whether movement, water from elsewhere or an unsuitable product, ends the cycle. Older cottages and farmhouses around Horney Common can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
- Don’t wait for a small gap to become a leak
- Check ceilings under showers for marks
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
Leave the new joint to cure fully before it gets wet or moves: follow the cure time we give you.
Mould under a second layer of sealant keeps growing out of sight. When it finally shows, the whole bead needs to come out.

Are you an approved applicator?

How long does remedial resealing take?
That depends on how many layers there are and how many joints. You’ll have a timescale before any work begins.
Will it make a mess?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
What we are called out for in Horney Common
Products get mixed up: caulk where it gets wet, rigid sealant where things move, or an acetoxy silicone on a surface it can mark. Each fails in its own way.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Over-sealed joints coming away
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
- Black mould underneath the bead
Homes close to Christ Church include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
