Remedial Sealant in Linkhill
Problem with your failed sealant joints in Linkhill? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant.

- Beads that never stuck properly
Remedial sealant in Linkhill, done properly
Some sealant jobs are not a simple reseal, because someone has already had a go. Silicone laid over silicone, smears across tiles, the wrong product in a moving joint or mould trapped underneath all have to come out before the joint can be done properly. Common call-outs are for smears and lumps from a botched reseal and a shower that leaks however often it’s resealed, across shrunken worktop sealant, failed movement joints and mouldy bath & shower sealant.
In a village or hamlet like Linkhill, 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.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

What we’re called out for in Linkhill
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.
Look out for these signs:
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
If you look after a building such as Sandhurst Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
Before booking anyone
- How long to leave it before use
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether they’re fully insured
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacing)

- Tiles that have come away from the wall
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.

What should I tell you?

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.
How the job changes by surface
Over-sealed & botched joints
A botched joint can hide two or three layers of sealant, and silicone residue is cleaned off the tiles too. Only a clean joint will take a new bead.
Windows & doors
Some leaks around windows come from the wall or the window itself. If the frame joint isn’t the cause, we will say so.
Why act early in Linkhill
A joint that has failed twice will fail again unless the cause is dealt with. Taking time to find the cause, whether it’s movement, a leak or the wrong product, is what stops it happening again. Around Linkhill, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.
Why book with us
- White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- Domestic, commercial and hotel work
- 180+ five-star Google reviews

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.

The process
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. The work generally takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. Somewhere as small as Linkhill, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We look at how the sealant has failed and check for movement or a leak path.
- Every layer of old sealant is cut and cleaned out.
- We clean the joint, treat any mould and let it dry.
- We use the right backing and sealant for any joint that moves.
- Finally we finish the joint and talk you through what we found.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
