What remedial sealant looks like in Longparish
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.
Managing a site like Longparish Church of England Primary School? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. In the older streets around Church of St Nicholas, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. Letting a property close to Whitchurch (Hampshire) station? Then a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.

How we handle remedial sealant in Longparish
A movement joint stops working when its sealant splits or sets hard. The old sealant comes out and backing goes in to control the depth, before resealing with a flexible product suited to the movement. Common call-outs are for thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles and worktop sealant that has shrunk and split, across expansion joints, mouldy bath & shower sealant and failed movement joints.
Around Longparish, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats. The work is the same as anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Longparish as everywhere else we work.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Deal with small splits early
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
- Keep the room well ventilated
Clean gently: a mild cleaner and a soft cloth, with no blades or scourers.
A failing joint rarely gets better on its own. Every shower or downpour sends more water through, into floors, walls or ceilings. Sorting it early limits the damage.
Can I do it myself?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
What affects the cost of remedial sealant
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The product the joint needs
- The number and length of the joints
- Any working-time requirements on site
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

Common questions in Longparish
Do you work for landlords with property near Whitchurch (Hampshire) station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can go on one quote. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Do you cover smaller places like Longparish?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Do you fix expansion and movement joints?
Yes. If a joint has been filled with mortar or rigid filler, we rake it out where possible, then the joint is sealed properly.
Where are you based?
We’re based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Does remedial work come with a guarantee?
Yes. Our 12-month guarantee covers the work, and we are ARBOMaster approved.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Will there be a smell?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Different surfaces, different methods
Movement & expansion joints
Joints filled with mortar, grout or rigid filler cannot move. Where it can be raked out, we replace it with flexible sealant.
Over-sealed & botched joints
A botched joint can hide two or three layers of sealant, including the smears and film on surrounding tiles. Only a clean joint will take a new bead.
What we do, step by step
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can carry on as normal. The job generally takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. Somewhere like Longparish 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.
- We look at how the sealant has failed and check for movement or a leak path.
- All the old sealant comes out, including any layers underneath.
- The joint is cleaned, treated for mould and left to dry.
- Moving joints get backing and a flexible sealant to suit.
- Finally we finish the joint and talk you through what we found.
How to prepare
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
