- A second bead peeling off the first
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Never seal over old silicone
- Check ceilings under showers for marks
- Do not wait for a small gap to become a leak
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
Keep the room ventilated: run the fan during and after showers, or open a window.
Warning signs: peeling layers, mould showing through the bead, leaks after showering or cracks in a movement joint. Any of them means it’s time for remedial work.
Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Oakridge
Two decades of sealant work means we recognise most failures quickly. We’re ARBOMaster approved and fully insured, and remedial work carries our one-year guarantee. Common call-outs are for kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop and mould trapped under a layer of silicone, across mouldy bath & shower sealant, leaking tray & enclosure joints and expansion joints.
Homes around Oakridge range from older cottages to more recent houses. Older homes can move a little with the seasons, which is hard on tired sealant and rigid grout.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

What sealant work can’t fix
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- A tray or bath that’s cracked
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
- Failed tanking or loose tiles behind the sealant
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints

Common problems we fix in Oakridge
How a joint is built matters as much as the product. A bead bonded on three sides, or laid too thick, cannot flex, and tears at the first real movement. Backing rod or bond-breaker tape prevents it.
The problems people normally mention when they call are:
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as The Vyne Community School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Common questions in Oakridge
I let a flat near Basingstoke station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Will you come out to Oakridge?
Yes, Oakridge is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Does someone need to be in?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Can you reseal a split movement joint?
Yes. We cut out the failed sealant, fit backing and reseal with a flexible product.
Is it messy?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and we clear up when we are done.
Can you remove sealant that is been put over old sealant?
Yes. We remove every layer; over-sealing fails because silicone will not bond to silicone.
Can I do it myself?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises, as well as homes. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
How the visit works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we don’t rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. Parking around Oakridge is generally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- The failure is looked at first, so we know whether it’s sealant, movement or water from elsewhere.
- Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.
- Mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Advice
Leave it or put it right?
Adding more sealant is the usual quick fix, and it rarely works. It cannot bond to what’s underneath, so the leak carries on and there’s now more to remove. Around Oakridge, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.

Oakridge homes and their sealant
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. Oakridge has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room.
If you live in an older home near Ruins Of Chapel Of The Holy Trinity, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. Rented homes near Basingstoke station change hands often, and a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.
