Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Norton Mandeville
Removing failed sealant is the hardest part of the job. We cut out every layer, clear the residue and degrease the surfaces, taking care not to scratch the surfaces around it. New sealant only bonds to a clean, dry joint. We work on botched or over-sealed joints, leaking tray & enclosure joints and expansion joints, and people most often call us about black mould underneath the bead and repeat leaks from the same joint.
For a small place like Norton Mandeville, remedial sealant is planned like any other job: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Once we’re there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

How the visit works
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out from start to finish. Somewhere like Norton Mandeville needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We start by checking the joint for movement, leaks and the reason it failed.
- We strip the joint completely, removing any layers below.
- The joint is cleaned, treated for mould and left to dry.
- Where the joint moves, backing and a flexible sealant suited to the movement go in.
- The new joint is tooled neatly and we explain anything else we found.
Getting ready for the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Advice
Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Don’t point over movement joints
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
Leave the new joint to cure fully before it gets wet or moves: follow the cure time we give you.
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.

What else we do in Norton Mandeville
Should I try it myself first?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
What we’re called out for in Norton Mandeville
Joints that move need sealant that can stretch. A bath that flexes, a tray that rocks or a building joint that opens and closes split any bead that’s too stiff or too thin.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Torn expansion joints
- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
In the older streets around Church of All Saints, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
What your quote should include
- What insurance they hold
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Whether VAT is included
- What preparation is included
What sealant work can’t fix
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- A bath, tray or worktop that moves until it’s properly fixed
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.
