Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Mid Lavant
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. If you have worktop sealant that has shrunk and split and floor or wall movement joints that have failed, we can help, on failed movement joints, botched or over-sealed joints and mouldy bath & shower sealant alike.
Somewhere as small as Mid Lavant, 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.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Do you need remedial sealant in Mid Lavant?
Some joints fail because water is reaching them from behind. A leaking valve, a failed waste or cracked grout feeds water behind the bead, so the silicone goes mouldy or lets go.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Lavant CofE Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Check ceilings under showers for marks
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
If we’ve found a cause, such as a loose tray or a leaking waste, get it fixed, because the new sealant cannot hold back a problem underneath.
Leaks through failed sealant grow over time. Each use pushes more water behind the bead, into floors, walls or ceilings. Sorting it early limits the damage.
What remedial sealant looks like in Mid Lavant
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Mid Lavant. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room.
If you let a flat or house near Fishbourne station, botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants. If you live in an older home near Church of St Nicholas, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

What we do, step by step
There’s no need to move everything out, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out for a typical job. Somewhere as small as Mid Lavant, 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.
- All the old sealant comes out, including any layers underneath.
- We clean the joint, treat any mould and let it dry.
- Moving joints get backing and a flexible sealant to suit.
- We tool the joint and tell you about anything else that needs attention.
How to prepare
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Advice
DIY versus a professional finish
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
What the job involves on each surface
Worktops & kitchens
A loose worktop splits its sealant. That needs refixing before resealing, and we will tell you if we find it.
Windows & doors
Wrong-coloured or messy mastic can be replaced for appearance too, matched to the frame colour.
Your questions about remedial sealant in Mid Lavant
Do you take on hotel work around Mid Lavant?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
I let a flat near Fishbourne station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Can I do it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Is remedial work guaranteed?
Yes, for 12 months. Where we have flagged another fault, it needs fixing for the joint to last.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
What sealant do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We will tell you what we are using and why.
How long does the work take?
Longer than a simple reseal, because every layer has to come out. For most joints, it’s a few hours, and we confirm the time with your quote.
What affects the cost of remedial sealant
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Any mould that needs treating
- The amount of work
- How many areas need sealing
- When we can work, for business premises
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first.
