About our remedial sealant in Kinnesswood
Removing failed sealant is the hardest part of the job. We cut out every layer, clear the residue and degrease the surfaces, without scratching tiles, trays or frames. Only then can new sealant bond. We work on expansion joints, shrunken worktop sealant and leaking tray & enclosure joints, and the jobs we see most are products that weren’t meant for the joint and leaks that keep coming back after resealing.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses. Older buildings can move a little, and that shows first in cracked grout and split sealant.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Why deal with it now?
Leaks that are left keep doing damage out of sight: soaked floorboards, ceiling stains below and blown plaster. Dealing with the joint now is a small job by comparison. In a place like Kinnesswood, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.

Do you need remedial sealant in Kinnesswood?
Sealant needs a clean, dry surface with no grease on it. Soap film, dust, damp or old residue stop it gripping, so it starts lifting sooner than it should.
The most common problems we see are:
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- Black mould underneath the bead
Around Kinnesswood, as everywhere, remedial sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.

How the job changes by surface
Windows & doors
Wrong-coloured or messy mastic can be replaced for appearance too, matched to the frame colour.
Over-sealed & botched joints
Thick, smeared sealant looks messy and hides problems. Taking it back shows what’s underneath, and then we reseal it neatly.
Remedial sealant in Kinnesswood: local notes
In Scotland, private landlords have to meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping fixtures and fittings in reasonable repair. Tired, leaking sealant is worth putting right before a new tenant moves in. Scottish Water supplies are generally soft, so limescale is less of a problem than in hard-water areas. But mould still grows into sealant and grout in a room that does not dry out.
In the older streets around Easter Balgedie church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

Kinnesswood questions
Will you come out to Kinnesswood?
Yes. Kinnesswood is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What guarantee comes with remedial sealant in Kinnesswood?
All our work, in Kinnesswood and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you fix expansion and movement joints?
Yes. We cut out the failed sealant, fit backing and reseal with a flexible product.
Does someone need to be in?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before applying anything new.
Will it make a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.
What sealant do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We will tell you what we’re using and why.
How long does remedial resealing take?
A little longer than a standard reseal. Most jobs take a few hours, and we confirm the time with your quote.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
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, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
- Check ceilings under showers for marks
- Don’t wait for a small gap to become a leak
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
Give the new sealant its full cure time: follow the cure time we give you.
If a joint has failed more than once, stop resealing it. Get the cause found first, otherwise the next attempt will fail too.
