How we handle remedial sealant in Monkwood
Not every leak is a sealant leak. A cracked tray, a failed shower valve or a leaking waste can look just the same. If that’s what we find, we will tell you rather than reseal something that will not fix it. We work on shrunken worktop sealant, botched or over-sealed joints and mouldy bath & shower sealant, and people most often call us about sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface and floor or wall movement joints that have failed.
In a village or hamlet like Monkwood, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Monkwood and across Hampshire.

Remedial sealant around Monkwood

Common questions in Monkwood
Is there a guarantee on remedial sealant in Monkwood?
All our work, in Monkwood and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Do you cover smaller places like Monkwood?
Yes. Monkwood 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.
Can you match the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
Do I have to be there?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.
How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Don’t point over movement joints
- Don’t wait for a small gap to become a leak
- Run the fan after every shower
- Find out why the sealant failed first
If we have found a cause, such as a loose tray or a leaking waste, get it fixed, or the new joint may fail again.
Signs to act on: sealant lifting at the ends, a second bead visible on top of the first, black mould under the silicone, or stains below a bathroom. Any of them means it’s time for remedial work.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
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.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
What affects the cost of remedial sealant
We don’t publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- How much there is to do
- The number of rooms or windows
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Mould in or behind the old joints
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first.
What to tell us for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- The address or postcode of the job
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
To get a quote, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the location and a short description of the problem. We will give you a clear price before any work starts.
Surface by surface
Worktops & kitchens
A loose worktop splits its sealant. It needs fixing down first, which we will point out.
Leaking trays & enclosures
When failed joints are the cause, they’re all cut out and renewed, including the screen profile and tray edges.
What we do, step by step
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we have agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. In a small place like Monkwood, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We protect the surfaces around the joint.
- The botched or failed sealant is cut away completely.
- We clean and degrease the joint and look for signs of movement or water.
- New sealant goes in once the joint is dry, and is tooled smooth.
- You get the cure time and our view on why the joint failed.
Getting ready for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
How to get a quote
Every job is quoted individually. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details, and pictures are welcome.
Advice
What we are called out for in Monkwood
One of the commonest remedial jobs is sealant on top of sealant. New silicone cannot stick to the old bead, so the new layer peels, and damp and mould settle between them.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
- Black mould underneath the bead
Around Monkwood, as everywhere, remedial sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.
