How we handle remedial sealant in Lyndhurst

We’re fully insured ARBOMaster approved applicators, and remedial work carries our 12-month guarantee. We work on shrunken worktop sealant, expansion joints and mouldy bath & shower sealant, and the jobs we see most are gaps opening along the back of the worktop and leaks that keep coming back after resealing.
In and around Lyndhurst, older properties sit alongside newer ones. In older homes, walls and floors can move a little more, so the right flexible sealant matters.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
What we are called out for in Lyndhurst
Joint depth matters. A bead bonded on three sides, or laid too thick, can’t flex, and tears at the first real movement. Backing sets the depth and stops that.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Over-sealed joints coming away
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
- Torn expansion joints
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
Letting a property close to Ashurst New Forest station? Then failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.

Lyndhurst questions
I let a flat near Ashurst New Forest station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Do you cover smaller places like Lyndhurst?
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.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before resealing.
Can you take off two layers of silicone?
Yes. Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off, then the joint is resealed once.
How long should I leave it?
Cure times vary by product. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
Can you strip sealant from an acrylic tray safely?
Yes. The old bead is cut and lifted with tools that suit the surface, then clean off the residue. We point out any damage that is already there.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, we can. More than one area can be quoted together.
What remedial sealant looks like in Lyndhurst
Lyndhurst has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room. Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
Homes close to Church of Our Lady and St Edward include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. Managing a site like St Michael and All Angels CofE Infant School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

What’s near Lyndhurst
Locally, jobs take us to homes and businesses close to Fox And Hounds Public House. The nearest railway station is Ashurst New Forest station, about 2.4 miles north-east of the centre.

How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t wait for a small gap to become a leak
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
- Never seal over old silicone
- Don’t point over movement joints
Clean gently: no scraping, scouring pads or harsh chemicals.
Mould under a second layer of sealant keeps growing out of sight. When it finally shows, the whole bead needs to come out.

What affects the quote in Lyndhurst
Call for a quick quote. What matters most is:
- Any mould that needs treating
- Access and height
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- How much there is to do
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What we need to know
You do not need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Roughly how big the job is
- Where the job is, and your postcode
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email photos if that is easy.
What sealant work can’t fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- Cracks in the fitting rather than the joint
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Failed movement joints
- Expansion joints
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant

What we do, step by step
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. A visit to Lyndhurst is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- The failure is looked at first, so we know whether it’s sealant, movement or water from elsewhere.
- Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.
- Mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The right product goes in, with backing where the joint moves.
- The joint is tooled and you’re told about anything else we found.
How to prepare
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Worktops & kitchens
If a worktop moves when you lean on it, the sealant will keep splitting. That needs refixing before resealing, and we will tell you if we find it.
Leaking trays & enclosures
Repeat shower leaks often come from a tray that flexes or an enclosure sealed in the wrong place. We check both before we reseal.
