Remedial sealant in Lower Slackstead, done properly
Not every leak is a sealant leak. A cracked tray, a failed shower valve or a leaking waste can look just the same. If that’s what we find, we will tell you rather than reseal something that will not fix it. If you have products that weren’t meant for the joint and black mould underneath the bead, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
For a small place like Lower Slackstead, remedial sealant is planned like any other job: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Hampshire.

Surface by surface
Over-sealed & botched joints
A botched joint can hide two or three layers of sealant, and silicone residue is cleaned off the tiles too. New sealant needs a fully clean surface.
Windows & doors
A frame that keeps leaking may not be the mastic. If the frame joint is not the cause, we will say so.
What happens on the day
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The work normally takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out, depending on the amount of work. Somewhere like Lower Slackstead needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We start by checking the joint for movement, leaks and the reason it failed.
- All the old sealant comes out, including any layers underneath.
- We clean the joint, treat any mould and let it dry.
- We use the right backing and sealant for any joint that moves.
- Finally we finish the joint and talk you through what we found.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
- Keep the room well ventilated
- Deal with small splits early
Give the new sealant its full cure time: generally around 24 hours, or as long as we advise.
Leaks through failed sealant grow over time. Every shower or downpour sends more water through, into floors, walls or ceilings. Early action keeps it to a sealant job.

Your questions about remedial sealant in Lower Slackstead
I let a flat near Romsey station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Is Lower Slackstead within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
Is there any odour?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Do you fix expansion and movement joints?
Yes. Backing sets the depth and stops the sealant sticking to the back, which lets it stretch.
What sealant do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We’ll tell you what we are using and why.
Can you fix a reseal that hasn’t worked?
Yes. Repeat leaks usually come from over-sealing, movement or water getting in elsewhere, and we deal with the cause first.
How long will it take to strip and reseal the joint?
Allow a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. You will know the timing when we quote.
Common problems we fix in Lower Slackstead
Silicone only bonds to surfaces that are clean and dry. Residue, moisture or dust left in the joint weaken the bond, and the joint starts to come away early.
Look out for these signs:
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
- Torn expansion joints
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
If you live in an older home near Church of All Saints, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
