Lower Green questions
Is Lower Green within the area you cover?
Yes. Lower Green is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Kintbury station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
How long does remedial resealing take?
The number of joints and layers decides it. You will have a timescale before any work begins.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
How long should I leave it?
It depends on the product. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is normally more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Which products do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
What happens if the problem is the tray or the plumbing?
We will tell you. A cracked tray, faulty valve or leaking waste needs a different trade, so we won’t pretend it will.
How we handle remedial sealant in Lower Green
A joint that keeps failing normally has a reason. Movement, the wrong product or a leak from somewhere else will defeat even a perfect bead. Finding that cause comes before any new sealant. If you are dealing with wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones and over-sealed joints coming away, we can help.
Being in a small place like Lower Green makes no difference to the job itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Once we’re there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
All our work is covered by our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in West Berkshire.

Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Find out why the sealant failed first
- Act on a lifting corner straight away
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
Keep the room ventilated: run the fan during and after showers, or open a window.
Mould trapped under over-sealed joints spreads unseen. By the time it shows through, the joint is well past saving.
What the job involves on each surface
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Mould often spreads under the bead as well as through it. We treat the exposed joint once the bead is out so the new sealant starts clean.
Worktops & kitchens
Kitchen joints hold grease and residue, so we spend extra time cleaning before resealing.
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Plumbing leaks behind walls or under trays
- A tray or worktop that needs refixing first
- Failed tanking or loose tiles behind the sealant
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think before booking.
Where we work in Lower Green

Can I do it myself?
If you’re 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.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

What happens if it’s left?
Stripping out botched sealant adds time to a reseal, but rarely a lot: it takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. It’s far less disruption than resealing the same joint again and again. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Lower Green, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Remedial sealant in Lower Green: local notes
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Inkpen 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. Rented homes near Kintbury station change hands often, and failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Michael, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

- We protect the surfaces around the joint.
- The botched or failed sealant is cut away completely.
- We clean and degrease the joint and look for signs of movement or water.
