About our remedial sealant in Houghton
Decorators’ caulk in a shower, bathroom silicone on a window, a rigid filler in a movement joint won’t last, however tidy it looks. Out it comes, and in goes a sealant suited to the job. Typical jobs include smears and lumps from a botched reseal and products that weren’t meant for the joint, across botched or over-sealed joints, leaking tray & enclosure joints and expansion joints.
In a village or hamlet like Houghton, 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.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
- Check trays and worktops do not move
- Deal with small splits early
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
Leave the new joint to cure fully before it gets wet or moves: follow the cure time we give you.
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.

Remedial sealant around Houghton
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
If you look after a building such as Dorset House School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. Homes close to The Parish Church of St Nicholas include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. For landlords with property near Amberley station, botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Which products do you use?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.

Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
What does remedial sealant cost?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing and where.
Why deal with it now?
A failed seal rarely means a new bathroom. When the fittings are sound, stripping and resealing the joints is often enough. Where something else has failed, you’ll hear it from us. In a small place like Houghton, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear price before any work starts.
