Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Micheldever

Removing failed sealant is the hardest part of the job. Every layer is cut out, the residue cleaned off and the joint degreased, without scratching tiles, trays or frames. New sealant only bonds to a clean, dry joint. We work on shrunken worktop sealant, mouldy bath & shower sealant and expansion joints, and the jobs we see most are sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted and thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles.

Somewhere as small as Micheldever, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.

Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.

What affects the cost of remedial sealant

There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:

  • Whether there’s mould to deal with
  • The product the joint needs
  • Working hours on commercial sites
  • The old material and how stubborn it is

A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

What we need to know

The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:

  • Any previous sealing or DIY work
  • Roughly how big the job is
  • A few photos by email, if you can
  • What’s wrong with the joints now

Call for a quick quote, or send an email if you’d rather. Describe what needs sealing and we’ll talk you through the work before giving you a price.

How the job changes by surface

Mouldy bath & shower sealant

Repeat mould generally points to a damp, poorly aired room. Along with resealing, we’ll mention if the room needs better ventilation.

Movement & expansion joints

A movement joint must be able to stretch. Failed sealant is cut out, backing rod or tape is fitted and the joint resealed with a low-modulus product.

Leave it or put it right?

Remedial work takes longer than a straight reseal, but not by much: it takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. It’s far less disruption than resealing the same joint again and again. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Micheldever, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.

The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.

How it works

Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out, and the area is left clean. In a small place like Micheldever, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.

  1. Surrounding tiles, trays and frames are protected first.
  2. The botched or failed sealant is cut away completely.
  3. We clean and degrease the joint and look for signs of movement or water.
  4. New sealant goes in once the joint is dry, and is tooled smooth.
  5. We give you the cure time and explain what caused the failure.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
  • Tell us about any water getting in
  • Mention any tricky access

Questions from Micheldever

Do you cover smaller places like Micheldever?

Yes, Micheldever is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.

I let a flat near Micheldever station. Can you help?

Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.

Can failed expansion joints be resealed?

Yes. Where mortar or filler has been used instead of sealant, it’s removed where it can be, and reseal with a flexible product.

Where are you based?

Our base is Crawley. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.

Can you remove sealant that’s been put over old sealant?

Yes. We remove every layer; new silicone doesn’t bond to old silicone, which is why over-sealing fails.

Does someone need to be in?

Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that normally means someone at home.

What information do you need?

Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

How long should I leave it?

Different products cure at different speeds, so please follow the time we give you.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Micheldever

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.

Schools such as Micheldever CofE Primary School are buildings too, and 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 Micheldever station, failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak. If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

How to look after the new joints

A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:

  • Check trays and worktops do not move
  • Don’t wait for a small gap to become a leak
  • Don’t add new sealant on top of old
  • Run the fan after every shower

Leave the new joint to cure fully before it gets wet or moves: normally around 24 hours, or as long as we advise.

Do not keep resealing the same joint. Have someone find out why, or the next bead will go the same way.

DIY versus a professional finish

Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.

Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
