Surface by surface
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Mould can sit behind the silicone, not just in it. Once it’s all removed, the joint is treated.
Worktops & kitchens
Kitchen joints hold grease and residue, so cleaning takes longer than in a bathroom before resealing.
Remedial sealant in Locks Heath
Some sealant jobs are not a simple reseal, because someone has already had a go. New sealant over old, smeared beads, unsuitable products and hidden mould all need stripping out. Common call-outs are for repeat leaks from the same joint and kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop, across shrunken worktop sealant, botched or over-sealed joints and failed movement joints.
In and around Locks Heath, older properties sit alongside newer ones. Older homes can move a little with the seasons, which is hard on tired sealant and rigid grout.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Keep the room well ventilated
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
- Act on a lifting corner right away
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
If we have found a cause, such as a loose tray or a leaking waste, get it fixed, because the new sealant cannot hold back a problem underneath.
A failing joint rarely gets better on its own. Each use pushes more water behind the bead, into floors, walls or ceilings. Early action keeps it to a sealant job.
Remedial sealant around Locks Heath
Locks Heath is within about 2 miles of the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
For an older house near a landmark such as St John, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. Rented homes near Swanwick station change hands often, and botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants. If you look after a building such as Park Gate 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.

Can I do it myself?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.

What we do, step by step
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. For a job in Locks 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.
- We start by checking the joint for movement, leaks and the reason it failed.
- We strip the joint completely, removing any layers below.
- The joint is cleaned, treated for mould and left to dry.
- Where the joint moves, backing and a flexible sealant suited to the movement go in.
- Finally we finish the joint and talk you through what we found.
Preparing for the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Advice
When it is not the sealant
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
- Failed tanking or loose tiles behind the sealant
- A tray or bath that’s cracked
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think.
What we seal
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Failed movement joints
- Expansion joints
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Shrunken worktop sealant
Why it’s worth doing now in Locks Heath
Another bead over the top won’t fix a failed joint. It doesn’t grip the old layer, so the leak carries on and there’s now more to remove. Homes in smaller places like Locks Heath can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
