About our remedial sealant in Little Ickford
Some sealant jobs aren’t 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 need stripping out before the joint can be done properly. Common call-outs are for worktop sealant that has shrunk and split and black mould underneath the bead, on leaking tray & enclosure joints, shrunken worktop sealant and mouldy bath & shower sealant.
Somewhere as small as Little Ickford, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Little Ickford and everywhere else we cover.

Surface by surface
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.
Windows & doors
Wrong-coloured or messy mastic can be replaced for appearance too, matched to the frame colour.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
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 doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.

Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
- Never seal over old silicone
- Don’t point over movement joints
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
Keep an eye on the joint at first, particularly where the original failure was caused by movement. Should anything change, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Movement joints that have split let water into the structure, and the longer it’s left, the more the joint edges break down. Resealing while the edges are sound is simpler.
The process
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out and we leave things clean and tidy. Somewhere as small as Little Ickford, 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.
- We strip the joint completely, removing any layers below.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention any tricky access
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

What else we do in Little Ickford
Bathrooms and kitchens in Little Ickford
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
If you live in an older home near Parish Church of St Nicholas, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. If you look after a building such as Ickford 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. If you let a flat or house near Haddenham & Thame Parkway station, botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.
