Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Itchen Abbas
Getting old sealant out properly is slow, careful work. Every layer is cut out, the residue cleaned off and the joint degreased, taking care not to scratch the surfaces around it. New sealant only bonds to a clean, dry joint. We’re often asked to deal with beads that never stuck properly and floor or wall movement joints that have failed, across expansion joints, botched or over-sealed joints and failed movement joints.
In a village or hamlet like Itchen Abbas, 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.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Why it’s worth doing now in Itchen Abbas
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. In a small place like Itchen Abbas, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.

What remedial sealant looks like in Itchen Abbas
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you look after a building such as Itchen Abbas Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. In the older streets around Church of St John the Baptist, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. Rented homes near Winchester station change hands often, and a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.

Different surfaces, different methods
Movement & expansion joints
Bonding on three sides is a common reason movement joints tear. Backing stops that, so the sealant grips the two sides only.
Windows & doors
Frames resealed over the top end up with hard, layered mastic. All of it is cut out and the frame and wall cleaned before backing and resealing.

Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We look at how the sealant has failed and check for movement or a leak path.

Advice
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we seal
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Expansion joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Failed movement joints
How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Check ceilings under showers for marks
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
- Don’t wait for a small gap to become a leak
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
Go easy on the new sealant: no scraping, scouring pads or harsh chemicals.
If a joint has failed more than once, stop resealing it. Have someone find out why, otherwise the next attempt will fail too.
