Trusted remedial sealant in Horsell

How the visit works

We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can get on with your day. The job usually takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out, and we explain the cure time before we leave. For a job in Horsell, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.

  1. The failure is looked at first, so we know whether it’s sealant, movement or water from elsewhere.
  2. Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off.
  3. Mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The right product goes in, with backing where the joint moves.
  5. The joint is tooled and you are told about anything else we found.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
  • Let us know about parking restrictions
  • Keep children and pets away from the work area

Remedial sealant in Horsell

A movement joint stops working when its sealant splits or sets hard. We cut out the failed sealant and set the depth with backing, then a flexible sealant matched to the movement goes in. Common call-outs are for leaks that keep coming back after resealing and decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower, on botched or over-sealed joints, expansion joints and failed movement joints.

Smaller places like Horsell still have plenty of bathrooms that work hard every day. Whether it’s a cottage bathroom or a newer en suite, the approach is the same: old sealant or grout cut out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh finish laid.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

When to call us in Horsell

One of the commonest remedial jobs is sealant on top of sealant. New silicone can’t stick to the old bead, so the new layer peels, and damp and mould settle between them.

If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:

  • Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
  • Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
  • Torn expansion joints
  • Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower

Homes close to Church of St Mary the Virgin include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

Questions to ask before you book

  • Is the old sealant removed completely?
  • How the joint is cleaned and prepared
  • What happens if the job turns out different
  • Which colour the sealant will be

How to choose a mastic man

Different surfaces, different methods

Over-sealed & botched joints

Previous removal attempts can leave scratches or gouges. We take care not to make it worse, and tell you about any damage we find.

Leaking trays & enclosures

Repeat shower leaks often come from a tray that flexes or an enclosure sealed in the wrong place. Both are checked before any new sealant goes on.

Horsell questions

Do you cover smaller places like Horsell?

Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.

Can you help a landlord with a rental near Woking station?

Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.

How long does remedial resealing take?

The number of joints and layers decides it. You will have a timescale before any work begins.

Are you fully insured?

Yes, we’re fully insured for domestic and commercial work.

Can you take off two layers of silicone?

Yes. We remove every layer; new silicone does not bond to old silicone, which is why over-sealing fails.

Should I try DIY first?

Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.

What if the leak is not the sealant?

Then we explain what we have found. You may need a plumber or bathroom fitter.

Do you offer different sealant colours?

Yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours for many products, and we’ll agree it with you first.

Remedial sealant in Horsell: local notes

Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.

Schools such as Woking High School are buildings too, and 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.

Why deal with it now?

A failed seal rarely means a new bathroom. If the bath, tray and tiles are sound, remedial resealing usually puts it right. Where something else has failed, you’ll hear it from us. Homes in smaller places like Horsell can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.

Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

When something else is needed

Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:

  • Movement from fittings that are not supported
  • Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
  • A leaking trap, valve or supply pipe

If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
