Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Oakgrove
Two decades of sealant work means we recognise most failures quickly. We are ARBOMaster approved and fully insured, and every remedial job comes with a 12-month guarantee. Typical jobs include leaks that keep coming back after resealing and sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared, across shrunken worktop sealant, expansion joints and failed movement joints.
Around Oakgrove, you’ll mostly find houses and bungalows, some older and some much newer. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do in a big town.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Leave it or put it right?
A failed seal rarely means a new bathroom. When the fittings are sound, stripping and resealing the joints is often enough. Where something else has failed, you’ll hear it from us. In a smaller place like Oakgrove, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.

That is why we look for the cause first. If we find the leak is elsewhere, we tell you before going further.

Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too. We can quote a run of properties together, and we’re fully insured.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
When it isn’t the sealant
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Older mastics that may need an asbestos check before removal
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A tray or worktop that needs refixing first
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Where we work in Oakgrove
- Failed movement joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Expansion joints
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints
Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Do not add new sealant on top of old
- Clean sealant with mild products only
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
Ventilation keeps mould away from the new bead: use the extractor or open a window after showering.
Leaks through failed sealant grow over time. Each use pushes more water behind the bead, into floors, walls or ceilings. Early action keeps it to a sealant job.
How the visit works
Once we are on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. In a smaller place like Oakgrove, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- Surrounding tiles, trays and frames are protected first.
- Every layer of failed sealant is stripped out.
- The joint is degreased and checked for movement and leaks.
- New sealant goes in once the joint is dry, and is tooled smooth.
- We give you the cure time and explain what caused the failure.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
