Remedial sealant in Laverstoke
Removing failed sealant is the hardest part of the job. Every layer is cut out, the residue cleaned off and the joint degreased, taking care not to scratch the surfaces around it. Only then can new sealant bond. We work on expansion joints, botched or over-sealed joints and shrunken worktop sealant, and common reasons people get in touch are dark patches showing through the sealant and torn expansion joints.
Being in a small place like Laverstoke makes no difference to the job itself: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Laverstoke and across Hampshire.

Different surfaces, different methods
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Where mould keeps coming back, ventilation is normally part of the cause. We will reseal and tell you if extraction looks to be the issue.
Over-sealed & botched joints
Previous removal attempts can leave scratches or gouges. We take care not to make it worse, and point out any existing damage.
Laverstoke questions
Is Laverstoke within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
I let a flat near Whitchurch (Hampshire) station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
Do you guarantee remedial jobs?
Yes. Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before resealing.
Is it messy?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
What do you put in the joint?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Can you take off two layers of silicone?
Yes. Both layers come out; over-sealing fails because silicone won’t bond to silicone.
What sealant work can’t fix
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A tray or bath that’s cracked
- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Laverstoke
Landlords and letting agents in Laverstoke can book us as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Laverstoke
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.
In the older streets around St Nicholas' Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. Managing a site like Testbourne Community School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Why it’s worth doing now in Laverstoke
Another bead over the top will not fix a failed joint. It can’t bond to what’s underneath, leaving the leak in place and one more layer to cut out later. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Laverstoke, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

You don’t need to clear the whole room or building before we come, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out in most cases.

Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We protect the surfaces around the joint.
- Every layer of failed sealant is stripped out.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.

When to call us in Laverstoke
A lot of failed joints have been sealed over rather than replaced. Silicone doesn’t bond to silicone, so the new layer peels, and damp and mould settle between them.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
If you let a flat or house near Whitchurch (Hampshire) station, a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.
What your quote should include
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
