Remedial sealant in Lillingstone Lovell, done properly
If a joint has been resealed and is leaking again, it’s worth a proper look. It helps to have pictures when you call 0345 464 0079 or email us, and say how long ago it was last done. Typical jobs include wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones and mould trapped under a layer of silicone, across mouldy bath & shower sealant, leaking tray & enclosure joints and botched or over-sealed joints.
Homes around Lillingstone Lovell are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. The work is the same as anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

What happens on the day
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. For a village or hamlet like Lillingstone Lovell, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- 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.

Lillingstone Lovell: your questions answered
Is Lillingstone Lovell in your area for remedial sealant?
Yes, Lillingstone Lovell is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
What guarantee comes with remedial sealant in Lillingstone Lovell?
All our work, in Lillingstone Lovell and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Is it worth trying it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
What do you put in the joint?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Can failed expansion joints be resealed?
Yes. Where mortar or filler has been used instead of sealant, it’s removed where it can be, and reseal with a flexible product.
How long does the work take?
Longer than a simple reseal, because every layer has to come out. For most joints, it’s a few hours.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes, regularly. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Check ceilings under showers for marks
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
- Do not point over movement joints
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
Watch the joint over the first few weeks, especially if movement was the problem. Should anything change, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Warning signs: sealant lifting at the ends, a second bead visible on top of the first, black mould under the silicone, or stains below a bathroom. Each one is worth getting looked at.
Surface by surface
Leaking trays & enclosures
A cracked tray, failed valve or leaking waste needs a different fix. We will tell you what we find.
Windows & doors
Failed frame mastic is often hard, cracked and in several layers. We remove it all and clean back to sound surfaces.
What remedial sealant looks like in Lillingstone Lovell
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
Homes close to Church of St Mary include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

What we’re called out for in Lillingstone Lovell
One of the commonest remedial jobs is sealant on top of sealant. Silicone does not bond to silicone, so the top layer lifts and water and mould collect between the two.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
Around Lillingstone Lovell, as everywhere, remedial sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Leave it or put it right?
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 small place like Lillingstone Lovell, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first.
