Remedial sealant in Lower Brailes, done properly
The wrong product in the wrong joint will not last, however tidy it looks. Out it comes, and in goes a sealant suited to the job. We work on shrunken worktop sealant, botched or over-sealed joints and mouldy bath & shower sealant, and the jobs we see most are mould trapped under a layer of silicone and a shower that leaks however often it’s resealed.
Being in a small place like Lower Brailes makes no difference to the job itself: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. Once we are there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
- Don’t wait for a small gap to become a leak
Don’t let anyone seal over it later. Over-sealing is how many remedial jobs start, so the old bead should always come out first.
If a joint has failed more than once, stop resealing it. Get the cause found first, or the next bead will go the same way.
What happens on the day
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we do not rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it generally takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. For a village or hamlet like Lower Brailes, the journey is planned in advance: 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.
- Surrounding tiles, trays and frames are protected first.
- Every layer of failed sealant is stripped out.
- The joint is degreased and checked for movement and leaks.
- Once dry, a suitable sealant is applied and tooled.
- You get the cure time and our view on why the joint failed.
Getting ready for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention any tricky access
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Remedial sealant in Lower Brailes: local notes
There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Lower Brailes. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Managing a site like Brailes CofE Primary School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.

What the job involves on each surface
Windows & doors
Smeared or badly matched mastic can be cut out and redone neatly, in a colour that suits the frame.
Worktops & kitchens
Kitchen joints often have grease and cleaning residue deep in them, so cleaning takes longer than in a bathroom.
When to call us in Lower Brailes
All sealant wears out eventually. Mould grows into the silicone, the surface hardens and the bead shrinks. Then the only fix is removal and a new bead.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
Homes close to Church of St George include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
Questions to ask before you book
- When the joint can take water or movement
- How the colour is chosen
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
