What the job involves on each surface
Worktops & kitchens
Kitchen joints hold grease and residue, so we spend extra time cleaning before resealing.
Windows & doors
Failed frame mastic is often hard, cracked and in several layers. We remove it all and clean back to sound surfaces before backing and resealing.
About our remedial sealant in Marcham
A movement joint stops working when its sealant splits or sets hard. The old sealant comes out and backing goes in to control the depth, then a flexible sealant matched to the movement goes in. If you have worktop sealant that has shrunk and split and sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted, we can put it right, on expansion joints, shrunken worktop sealant and failed movement joints alike.
In a smaller place like Marcham, homes are mostly houses and bungalows rather than flats, from older cottages to newer builds. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do in a big town.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Can I do it myself?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Marcham
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for.
Remedial sealant around Marcham
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings. Marcham has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of All Saints, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Abingdon Preparatory 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. If you let a flat or house near Radley station, failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.

Common questions in Marcham
Do you cover smaller places like Marcham?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Marcham?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. Rooms can be done a few at a time, so the building stays open.
Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Opening a window helps.
What if resealing won’t fix my leak?
You will hear it from us. If it’s a cracked tray, a failed valve or a leaking waste, resealing will not fix it, and we will not reseal for the sake of it.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Usually, yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available for many products, and we agree the colour with you before any work starts.
What does remedial sealant cost?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. For a quick quote, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing and where.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Is it messy?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
What happens on the day
At the end, we look at the finished work together. The work normally takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied, depending on the amount of work. A visit to Marcham is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as 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.
- We treat any mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- The joint is tooled and you’re told about anything else we found.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Move anything stored near the joints
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

How we quote for remedial sealant
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Whether the work is at height
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins, so you know where you stand.

Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:

Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Deal with small splits early
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
- Check trays and worktops don’t move
Clean gently: a mild cleaner and a soft cloth, with no blades or scourers.
Signs to act on: peeling layers, mould showing through the bead, leaks after showering or cracks in a movement joint. Any of them means it’s time for remedial work.
