Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Medmenham
With more than 20 years’ experience, our applicators have seen most of the ways sealant can fail. We are fully insured ARBOMaster approved applicators, and remedial work carries our one-year guarantee. If you have worktop sealant that has shrunk and split and smears and lumps from a botched reseal, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Medmenham, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee in Medmenham and across Buckinghamshire.

Can I do it myself?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Medmenham: your questions answered
Will you come out to Medmenham?
Yes. Medmenham is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you take on hotel work around Medmenham?
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.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
My shower still leaks after a reseal. Can you sort it?
Yes. All the sealant comes out, we find out why it failed, and the joint is resealed properly.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is normally more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Can failed expansion joints be resealed?
Yes. We cut out the failed sealant, fit backing and reseal with a flexible product.
Can tenants book the work?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
How long before the joint can be used?
It depends on the product and the temperature. Before we leave, we’ll tell you the cure time.
When to call us in Medmenham
Joint depth matters. Sealant packed too deep, or stuck to the back of the joint as well as the sides, can’t stretch, so it tears when the joint moves. Backing rod or bond-breaker tape prevents it.
People generally contact us after spotting one of these:
- Black mould underneath the bead
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
In the older streets around Church of St Peter and St Paul, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
Questions to ask before booking
- What product goes in the joint
- How the colour is chosen
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
How the job changes by surface
Windows & doors
Smeared or badly matched mastic can be cut out and redone neatly, matched to the frame colour.
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Mould can sit behind the silicone, not just in it. Once it’s all removed, the joint is treated so the new sealant starts clean.
What remedial sealant looks like in Medmenham
Medmenham has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Letting a property close to Henley-On-Thames station? Then failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak. Schools such as Danesfield School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Cracks in the fitting rather than the joint
- Failed tanking or loose tiles behind the sealant
- 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 will tell you honestly.

How the visit works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you. The work normally takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere as small as Medmenham, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we find out how and where the joint has failed.
- Every layer of old sealant is cut and cleaned out.
- Next, any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We use the right backing and sealant for any joint that moves.
- We tool the joint and tell you about anything else that needs attention.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
How to get a quote
Asking for a quote is easy: tell us what needs doing and where and its rough size. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we’ll take it from there.

How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
If the joint ever needs renewing, have it cut out, not sealed over. Over-sealing is how many remedial jobs start.
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.
Why deal with it now?
Another bead over the top won’t fix a failed joint. It does not grip the old layer, so the leak carries on and there’s now more to remove. Older cottages and farmhouses around Medmenham can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
