What remedial sealant looks like in Littlestead Green
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
Homes close to All Saints Church include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. Rented homes near Reading station change hands often, and botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants. Schools such as St Martin's Catholic Primary School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

What the job involves on each surface
Worktops & kitchens
Kitchen joints often have grease and cleaning residue deep in them, so we spend extra time cleaning.
Over-sealed & botched joints
Botched joints sometimes have damaged edges from earlier scraping. We work carefully to avoid adding to it, and point out any existing damage.
Why deal with it now?
Another bead over the top will not fix a failed joint. It can’t bond to what’s underneath, leaving the leak in place and one more layer to cut out later. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Littlestead Green, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.
Why book with us

Read our cost guide or what customers say.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
- Keep the room well ventilated
Give the new sealant its full cure time: follow the cure time we give you.
Do not keep resealing the same joint. Get the cause found first, or the next bead will go the same way.
How we quote for remedial sealant
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Access and height
- Any mould that needs treating
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:

- The problem you’ve noticed
- The address or postcode of the job
- If someone has resealed it before

DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
How it works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we’re working on, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. Somewhere like Littlestead Green needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- 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.
- Next, any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We use the right backing and sealant for any joint that moves.
- The new joint is tooled neatly and we explain anything else we found.
How to prepare
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
