FAQs for North Fareham
Is North Fareham within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Fareham station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
How long before the joint can be used?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We will give you the cure time for the product we used.
Can failed expansion joints be resealed?
Yes. Backing sets the depth and stops the sealant sticking to the back, which lets it stretch.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before resealing.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured.

DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
When something else is needed
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Older mastics that may need an asbestos check before removal
- Water damage behind tiles that needs a tiler
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.

How the job changes by surface
Worktops & kitchens
Shrunken worktop sealant leaves a gap that lets water into the back edge. We strip it, degrease the joint and reseal.
Movement & expansion joints
A movement joint must be able to stretch. We remove the failed sealant, fit backing and reseal with a low-modulus product.

Remedial sealant in North Fareham: local notes
North Fareham is close to the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. 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.
Letting a property close to Fareham station? Then a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty. Managing a site like Harrison Primary School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. Homes close to Parish Church of St Peter and St Paul include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Do not wait for a small gap to become a leak
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
- Check ceilings under showers for marks
- Check trays and worktops don’t move
Do not let anyone seal over it later. Over-sealing is how many remedial jobs start, so the old bead should always come out first.
A failing joint rarely gets better on its own. Each use pushes more water behind the bead, into whatever is behind or below. Sorting it early limits the damage.
How it works
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. Somewhere like North Fareham needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- The failure is looked at first, so we know whether it’s sealant, movement or water from elsewhere.
- Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off.
- We treat any mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The right product goes in, with backing where the joint moves.
- The joint is tooled and you are told about anything else we found.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in

Why act early in North Fareham
Leaks that are left keep doing damage out of sight: soaked floorboards, ceiling stains below and blown plaster. Dealing with the joint now is a small job by comparison. Older cottages and farmhouses around North Fareham can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first.
Why book with us
- A sealant colour to suit the surroundings
