Questions from Little Heath
Will you come out to Little Heath?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you work for landlords with property near Tilehurst station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
What if the leak isn’t the sealant?
That is why we look for the cause first. If we find the leak is elsewhere, we tell you before going further.
Is remedial work guaranteed?
Yes. Every job comes with our one-year guarantee.
Can you fix a reseal that hasn’t worked?
Yes. There’s generally a reason: sealant over sealant, movement or another leak, and we deal with the cause first.
How do I get a quote for remedial sealant in Little Heath?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing and where.
Should I try DIY first?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
How we handle remedial sealant in Little Heath
Not every leak is a sealant leak. Cracked trays, leaking wastes and faulty valves often look like a sealant problem. When the fault is elsewhere, we say so instead of resealing for the sake of it. We are often asked to deal with torn expansion joints and thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles, on mouldy bath & shower sealant, failed movement joints and shrunken worktop sealant.
In and around Little Heath, older properties sit alongside newer ones. In older homes, walls and floors can move a little more, so the right flexible sealant matters.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Leave it or put it right?
Hidden water does the most damage: soaked floorboards, ceiling stains below and blown plaster. By comparison, sorting the joint is quick. In an older home around Little Heath, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
Combining jobs into one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

What happens on the day
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. For a job in Little Heath, 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 find out how and where the joint has failed.
- We strip the joint completely, removing any layers below.
- Next, any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- Moving joints get backing and a flexible sealant to suit.
- Finally we finish the joint and talk you through what we found.
How to prepare
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
How to get a quote
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and add pictures by email if you can.
Related advice
Signs you need remedial sealant in Little Heath
A lot of failed joints have been sealed over rather than replaced. New silicone cannot stick to the old bead, so the top layer lifts and water and mould collect between the two.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
- A second bead peeling off the first
For landlords with property near Tilehurst station, a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.

What sealant work cannot fix
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:
- A leaking trap, valve or supply pipe
- Cracks in the fitting rather than the joint
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Failed movement joints
- Expansion joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
What the job involves on each surface
Movement & expansion joints
Joints filled with mortar, grout or rigid filler cannot move. Where it can be raked out, we replace it with flexible sealant.
Worktops & kitchens
Kitchen joints hold grease and residue, so cleaning takes longer than in a bathroom before resealing.
Little Heath homes and their sealant
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Birch Copse Primary School, washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes. Homes close to St Catherine of Siena include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
