How it works
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, carry out the job and clear up. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. In a smaller place like Littlemore, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- The failure is looked at first, so we know whether it’s sealant, movement or water from elsewhere.
- Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off.
- We treat any mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- The joint is tooled and you’re told about anything else we found.
Preparing for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
Getting a quote
We quote each job on its own, so start by telling us what you need. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details.

How we handle remedial sealant in Littlemore
A joint that keeps failing generally has a reason. Movement, the wrong product or a leak from somewhere else will defeat even a perfect bead. Finding that cause comes before any new sealant. If you are dealing with worktop sealant that has shrunk and split and leaks that keep coming back after resealing, we can put it right, on expansion joints, mouldy bath & shower sealant and failed movement joints alike.
In a smaller place like Littlemore, homes are mostly houses and bungalows rather than flats, some older and some much newer. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do in a big town.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

What the job involves on each surface
Movement & expansion joints
A movement joint must be able to stretch. Failed sealant is cut out, backing rod or tape is fitted and the joint resealed.
Windows & doors
Frames resealed over the top end up with hard, layered mastic. All of it is cut out and the frame and wall cleaned before backing and resealing.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Littlemore
Littlemore has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Schools such as Emmanuel Christian School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. Homes close to Church of St Mary and St Nicholas include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
Littlemore is about 2 miles south of Oxford, in Oxfordshire. Jobs in Littlemore get the same care as everywhere else we work: old sealant removed completely, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee. 443 places in Oxfordshire are on our list.

Local landmarks in Littlemore
Locally, jobs take us to homes and businesses close to John Henry Newman Academy, The Catherine Wheel pub and The Oxford Academy and the streets around them. Littlemore’s nearest station is Radley station, about 2.4 miles south of the centre. Other landmarks nearby include Oxford Castle and earlier settlement remains (2.7 miles north-west) and Littlemore Hospital (less than half a mile south). The countryside around Littlemore includes Headington Hill and CS Lewis Nature Reserve.
Why act early in Littlemore
Adding more sealant is the usual quick fix, and it rarely works. It does not grip the old layer, so the leak carries on and there’s now more to remove. In an older home around Littlemore, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
- Water damage behind tiles that needs a tiler
- Movement from fittings that aren’t supported

Questions from Littlemore
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Littlemore?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
Will you come out to Littlemore?
Yes. Littlemore is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
How long should I leave it?
That depends on the sealant used, so please follow the time we give you when we finish.
How long will it take to strip and reseal the joint?
The number of joints and layers decides it. You’ll have a timescale before any work begins.
Is it messy?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Someone resealed my shower and it’s leaking again. Can you help?
Yes. Repeat leaks generally come from over-sealing, movement or water getting in elsewhere, so we find that first.
What sealant do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We’ll tell you what we’re using and why.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
When to call us in Littlemore
Some joints fail because water is reaching them from behind. A leaking valve, a failed waste or cracked grout feeds water behind the bead, so the silicone goes mouldy or lets go.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- Beads that never stuck properly
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
Rented homes near Radley station change hands often, and failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.
