Remedial Sealant in Lychpit
We cover Lychpit for removing failed, mouldy or leaking sealant and putting it right. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly.
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Lychpit
Movement and expansion joints fail when the sealant cannot stretch. We cut out the failed sealant and set the depth with backing, then a flexible sealant matched to the movement goes in. We work on leaking tray & enclosure joints, expansion joints and failed movement joints, and common reasons people get in touch are mould trapped under a layer of silicone and torn expansion joints.
Homes around Lychpit are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

For landlords and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
If you manage several properties in or around Lychpit, jobs at different addresses can go on one quote. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs.
What remedial sealant looks like in Lychpit
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
For landlords with property near Basingstoke station, a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty. If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. If you look after a building such as Old Basing Infant School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

How it works
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied for a typical job. For a village or hamlet like Lychpit, 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.
- 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.
- Once dry, a suitable sealant is applied and tooled.
- You get the cure time and our view on why the joint failed.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Advice
Can I do it myself?
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.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again.
Lychpit: your questions answered
Will you come out to Lychpit?
Yes. Lychpit 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.
I let a flat near Basingstoke station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We’ve worked for hotels, offices and other businesses, and we are fully insured.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
Can failed expansion joints be resealed?
Yes. The depth is set with backing so the sealant only bonds to the two sides.
How long does remedial resealing take?
That depends on how many layers there are and how many joints. We will tell you before any work starts.
Can you fix a reseal that hasn’t worked?
Yes. We’ll take all the sealant out, look for why it failed and reseal it properly.
Why deal with it now?
Hidden water does the most damage: soaked floorboards, ceiling stains below and blown plaster. By comparison, sorting the joint is quick. Around Lychpit, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.

How the job changes by surface
Windows & doors
Some leaks around windows come from the wall or the window itself. If the frame joint isn’t the cause, we’ll say so.
Over-sealed & botched joints
Thick, smeared sealant looks messy and hides problems. Taking it back shows what’s underneath, then reseal neatly.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Movement from fittings that aren’t supported
- A leaking trap, valve or supply pipe
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Botched or over-sealed joints
