- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
The process
At the end, we look at the finished work together and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself usually takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out, depending on the amount of work. For a job in Kingsclere, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.
- Mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The right product goes in, with backing where the joint moves.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
How to prepare
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

How we handle remedial sealant in Kingsclere
With more than 20 years’ experience, our applicators have seen most of the ways sealant can fail. We’re ARBOMaster approved and fully insured, and remedial work carries our 12-month guarantee. Common call-outs are for leaks that keep coming back after resealing and sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface, on failed movement joints, expansion joints and leaking tray & enclosure joints.
In and around Kingsclere, older properties sit alongside newer ones. Older homes can move a little with the seasons, which is hard on tired sealant and rigid grout.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

Common questions in Kingsclere
Is Kingsclere in your area for remedial sealant?
Yes, Kingsclere is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
I let a flat near Thatcham station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Can you remove sealant that’s been put over old sealant?
Yes. It’s slower than a standard reseal, because every layer has to come out cleanly, but it’s what makes the new bead last.
How long does remedial resealing take?
That depends on how many layers there are and how many joints. You’ll have a timescale before any work begins.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator, and we are fully insured.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We will suggest a colour to suit the surroundings, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The product needed can limit the range.
Will you leave a mess?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints.
Can old silicone be taken off without scratching the tiles?
Yes, with care. The old bead is cut and lifted with tools that suit the surface, and the residue is cleaned away. We point out any damage that is already there.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
- Keep the room well ventilated
- Check ceilings under showers for marks
Give the new sealant its full cure time: normally around 24 hours, or as long as we advise.
A failing joint rarely gets better on its own. Every shower or downpour sends more water through, into floors, walls or ceilings. Sorting it early limits the damage.
What the job involves on each surface
Over-sealed & botched joints
A thick bead smeared across tiles often hides mould or gaps. We strip it back so we can see the joint.
Movement & expansion joints
Movement joints in floors, walls and façades need a flexible sealant set to the right depth. Failed sealant is cut out, backing rod or tape is fitted and the joint resealed.
When to call us in Kingsclere
Some joints fail because water is reaching them from behind. A slow leak behind the tiles soaks the joint from the back, so the silicone goes mouldy or lets go.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
Letting a property close to Thatcham station? Then failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.
Before booking anyone
- What preparation is included
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- Whether you can choose the colour
Leave it or put it right?
DIY removal often leaves scratches and a film of residue, and any film left behind stops new sealant sticking. Careful stripping is where most of our time goes. Homes in smaller places like Kingsclere 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.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins.

Remedial sealant in Kingsclere: local notes
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.
Schools such as Kingsclere Church of England Primary 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, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
