What remedial sealant looks like in Hound
Hound is close to the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
Schools such as The Hamble School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

Remedial sealant in Hound, done properly
Two decades of sealant work means we recognise most failures quickly. We are ARBOMaster approved and fully insured, and every remedial job comes with a 12-month guarantee. If you have a second bead peeling off the first and sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared, we can help, on expansion joints, mouldy bath & shower sealant and leaking tray & enclosure joints alike.
In a village or hamlet like Hound, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Landlord and commercial work in Hound
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can be quoted together.
How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
- Check ceilings under showers for marks
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
Leave the new joint to cure fully before it gets wet or moves: follow the cure time we give you.
Movement joints that have split let water into the structure, and the longer it’s left, the more the joint edges break down. A joint with sound edges is far easier to reseal.
Signs you need remedial sealant in Hound
Joint depth matters. A bead bonded on three sides, or laid too thick, can’t flex, so it tears when the joint moves. Backing sets the depth and stops that.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Torn expansion joints
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
If you let a flat or house near Netley station, a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.
Questions to ask before booking
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Whether VAT is included
- What product goes in the joint
- Who turns up on the day
How it works
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we’re 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 tell you how long to leave it before we go. Somewhere like Hound needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We protect the surfaces around the joint.
- Every layer of failed sealant is stripped out.
- The joint is degreased and checked for movement and leaks.
- New sealant goes in once the joint is dry, and is tooled smooth.
- We give you the cure time and explain what caused the failure.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is.
Advice
What affects the cost of remedial sealant
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- The number and length of the joints
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The product the joint needs
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Roughly how big the job is
- What’s wrong with the joints now
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we’ll talk you through what we’d do. Whenever you are ready, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Questions from Hound
Do you cover Hound for remedial sealant?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Hound is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do you work for landlords with property near Netley station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do you fix expansion and movement joints?
Yes. Backing sets the depth and stops the sealant sticking to the back.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
What if resealing won’t fix my leak?
You’ll hear it from us. If it’s a cracked tray, a failed valve or a leaking waste, resealing won’t fix it, and we will not reseal for the sake of it.
Can you match the sealant colour?
We will suggest a colour to suit the surroundings. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
How long before the joint can be used?
Different products cure at different speeds, so please follow the time we give you when we finish.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
How the job changes by surface
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Mould that has grown into silicone does not clean out for good. All of it comes out, and the joint is treated and dried ahead of a new anti-fungal bead.
Movement & expansion joints
A movement joint must be able to stretch. We remove the failed sealant, fit backing and reseal with a low-modulus product.
What happens if it’s left?
A joint that has failed twice will fail again unless the cause is dealt with. Taking time to find the cause, whether it’s movement, a leak or the wrong product, is what stops it happening again. Around Hound, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.
Why us?
- A sealant colour to suit the surroundings
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- More than 20 years in sealant work
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
