Remedial sealant & repairs in Lordswood, Southampton
Professional remedial sealant in and around Lordswood, with every bit of old sealant taken out first.
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
DIY versus a professional finish
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
Remedial sealant in Lordswood
If a joint has been resealed and is leaking again, it’s worth a proper look. It helps to have pictures when you ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email. If you have decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower and wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones, we can help.
Around Lordswood, you will mostly find houses and bungalows, from older cottages to newer builds. Bathrooms and kitchens here get the same daily wear as anywhere, and the sealant and grout show it first.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

How it works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it normally takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. For a job in Lordswood, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.
- We treat any mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The right product goes in, with backing where the joint moves.
- The joint is tooled and you’re told about anything else we found.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Don’t add new sealant on top of old
- Don’t point over movement joints
- Act on a lifting corner straight away
- Check trays and worktops don’t move
If the joint ever needs renewing, have it cut out, not sealed over. Over-sealing is how many remedial jobs start, so the old bead should always come out first.
Do not keep resealing the same joint. Have someone find out why, or the next bead will go the same way.
What remedial sealant looks like in Lordswood
Lordswood is close to 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. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
Rented homes near Millbrook (Hants) station change hands often, and a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty. Schools such as Oakwood Primary School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
Lordswood is about 2 miles north-west of Southampton, in Southampton. We carry out remedial sealant for householders, landlords and businesses in Lordswood and nearby, as part of our work across Southampton. Our area takes in 40 places across Southampton, from the larger towns to small villages.
Every address in SO16 and SO15 is covered for remedial sealant, from the main roads to the quietest streets. You will find streets such as Peach Road, Linden Road and Woburn Road, all of which we cover. Other places close to Lordswood include Coxford (1 mile south-west), Bassett (1 mile east), Rownhams (1 mile north-west), Maybush (1 mile south-west) and Chilworth (1 mile north-east). We also work in nearby towns such as Townhill Park (3 miles east), Midanbury (3 miles east), Thornhill (5 miles south-east), Chartwell Green (4 miles east), Harefield (4 miles south-east) and Itchen (4 miles south-east).
Local landmarks in Lordswood
We work in homes and buildings around St James' Park, Upper Shirley High School and Oaklands Community School, among other places. Lordswood’s nearest station is Millbrook (Hants) station, roughly 2.2 miles south of the centre. Other landmarks nearby include Marlands Shopping Centre (2.8 miles south-east) and Princess Anne Hospital (0.5 miles south). Open spaces near Lordswood include Testwood Lakes.
Why act early in Lordswood
Mould under a bead cannot be reached by cleaning. The layers have to come out, so the joint can be treated and resealed. In a smaller place like Lordswood, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
Combining jobs into one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

What does remedial sealant cost?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.

The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The amount of work
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Mould in or behind the old joints
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins, so you know where you stand.

When to call us in Lordswood
Products get mixed up: caulk where it gets wet, rigid sealant where things move, or an acetoxy silicone on a surface it can mark. None of them last.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Beads that never stuck properly
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- A second bead peeling off the first
Homes close to Lord's Hill Church include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- Are they insured?
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
What sealant work can’t fix
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacing)
- A leaking trap, valve or supply pipe
- Water damage behind tiles that needs a tiler
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think before booking.
