What we’re called out for in Longcross
Sealant needs a clean, dry surface with no grease on it. Residue, moisture or dust left in the joint weaken the bond, and the joint starts to come away early.
Look out for these signs:
- A second bead peeling off the first
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
If you live in an older home near Longcross Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

How we handle remedial sealant in Longcross
Water on the floor doesn’t always mean failed silicone. 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. If you’re dealing with a shower that leaks however often it’s resealed and floor or wall movement joints that have failed, we can put it right, on expansion joints, mouldy bath & shower sealant and botched or over-sealed joints alike.
In a village or hamlet like Longcross, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Longcross and everywhere else we cover.

How much does remedial sealant cost in Longcross?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.
Will there be a smell?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available, and we will agree it with you first.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned.
Someone resealed my shower and it’s leaking again. Can you help?
Yes. There’s normally a reason: sealant over sealant, movement or another leak, so we find that first.
Surface by surface
Movement & expansion joints
Joints filled with mortar, grout or rigid filler can’t move. We rake that out where it can be removed and seal with a flexible product.
Windows & doors
Wrong-coloured or messy mastic can be replaced for appearance too, matched to the frame colour.
What we do, step by step
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we are working on, so you can carry on as normal. The job normally takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out, and we explain the cure time before we leave. Somewhere like Longcross needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- The failure is looked at first, so we know whether it’s sealant, movement or water from elsewhere.
- Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.
- We treat any mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
Getting ready for the visit

Advice
What we can’t put right
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacing)
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly.
Where we work in Longcross
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Expansion joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Failed movement joints
Why it’s worth doing now in Longcross
Mould under a bead cannot be reached by cleaning. The layers have to come out, so the joint can be treated and resealed. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Longcross, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
We do not show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will talk you through it.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Check trays and worktops do not move
- Run the fan after every shower
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
- Clean sealant with mild products only
Do not let anyone seal over it later. Over-sealing is how many remedial jobs start, so the old bead should always come out first.
Don’t keep resealing the same joint. Have someone find out why, or the next bead will go the same way.
