Marsh Baldon questions
Do you work for landlords with property near Radley station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Do you cover Marsh Baldon for remedial sealant?
Yes, Marsh Baldon is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Will you leave a mess?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint.
Can you remove sealant that’s been put over old sealant?
Yes. We remove every layer; new silicone does not bond to old silicone, which is why over-sealing fails.

Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a short description of the job.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Remedial sealant in Marsh Baldon, done properly
Movement and expansion joints fail when the sealant can’t stretch. The old sealant comes out and backing goes in to control the depth, then a flexible sealant matched to the movement goes in. We work on botched or over-sealed joints, shrunken worktop sealant and expansion joints, and common reasons people get in touch are dark patches showing through the sealant and worktop sealant that has shrunk and split.
Being in a small place like Marsh Baldon makes no difference to the job itself: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Leave it or put it right?
A joint that has failed twice will fail again unless the cause is dealt with. Finding it, whether movement, water from elsewhere or an unsuitable product, ends the cycle. Around Marsh Baldon, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Doing several joints on one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

What the job involves on each surface
Windows & doors
Smeared or badly matched mastic can be cut out and redone neatly, matched to the frame colour.
Over-sealed & botched joints
Previous removal attempts can leave scratches or gouges. We take care not to make it worse, and tell you about any damage we find.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
- Keep the room well ventilated
Keep the room ventilated: run the fan during and after showers, or open a window.
A split movement joint lets rain into walls and floors, and left long enough, the edges of the joint can crumble. Resealing while the edges are sound is simpler.
What affects the cost of remedial sealant
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- The number of rooms or windows
- The number and length of the joints
- Any mould that needs treating
- Any working-time requirements on site
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we will explain what it covers.
Asking for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- Roughly how big the job is
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Whether it has been sealed before
- The address or postcode of the job
Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location and its rough size. Photos by email help us understand the job.
What remedial sealant looks like in Marsh Baldon
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Peter, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. Managing a site like Marsh Baldon Church of England Controlled School? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. Rented homes near Radley station change hands often, and botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.

Can I do it myself?
If you’re 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 doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
What we can’t put right
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacing)
- Movement from fittings that aren’t supported
- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Failed movement joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Expansion joints
The process
At the end, we look at the finished work together 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 as small as Marsh Baldon, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start by checking the joint for movement, leaks and the reason it failed.
- Every layer of old sealant is cut and cleaned out.
- Next, any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- Where the joint moves, backing and a flexible sealant suited to the movement go in.
- We tool the joint and tell you about anything else that needs attention.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Tell us if parking is tricky
