Remedial sealant & repairs in Inner Avenue, Southampton
Problem with your failed sealant joints in Inner Avenue? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, with a one-year guarantee.
- A second bead peeling off the first
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
What the job involves on each surface
Movement & expansion joints
Some movement joints have been filled with mortar or grout. We rake that out where it can be removed and seal with a flexible product.
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 we reseal.
How we handle remedial sealant in Inner Avenue
Water on the floor does not always mean failed silicone. A cracked tray, a failed shower valve or a leaking waste can look just the same. If that is what we find, we will tell you rather than reseal something that won’t fix it. If you have kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop and black mould underneath the bead, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Homes around Inner Avenue range from older cottages to more recent houses. Older homes can move a little with the seasons, which is hard on tired sealant and rigid grout.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

What we are called out for in Inner Avenue
One of the commonest remedial jobs is sealant on top of sealant. Silicone doesn’t bond to silicone, so the new layer peels, and damp and mould settle between them.
The problems people usually mention when they call are:
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
- Over-sealed joints coming away
- Beads that never stuck properly
Homes close to Saint Mary's include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

- How many areas need sealing
- The size of the job

We do not publish a price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To get started, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Inner Avenue homes and their sealant
Inner Avenue is within about 2 miles of the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
Managing a site like Bevois Town Primary School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. Letting a property close to St Denys station? Then a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.
Inner Avenue is about 1 mile west of Southampton, in Southampton. Our applicators cover remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Inner Avenue and nearby. Inner Avenue is one of 40 towns and villages in Southampton we cover for remedial sealant.

What else we do in Inner Avenue
Why it’s worth doing now in Inner Avenue
Leaks that are left keep doing damage out of sight: soaked floorboards, ceiling stains below and blown plaster. By comparison, sorting the joint is quick. Homes in smaller places like Inner Avenue can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

Landlord and commercial work in Inner Avenue
If you manage several properties in or around Inner Avenue, several properties can be quoted together. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs, and photos by email help.
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too. We can quote a run of properties together, and we’re fully insured.
Should I try it myself first?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
What happens on the day
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we’re working on, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. In a smaller place like Inner Avenue, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- 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 are told about anything else we found.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Advice
Your questions about remedial sealant in Inner Avenue
Do you take on hotel work around Inner Avenue?
Yes, we work for hotels as well as homes and businesses. Rooms can be done a few at a time, so the building stays open.
I let a flat near St Denys station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Is remedial work guaranteed?
Yes. Remedial work carries the same 12-month guarantee as all our work.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Cure times vary by product and the conditions. Before we leave, we will tell you the cure time.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
What if resealing will not 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.
What does remedial sealant cost?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a short description of the job.
