Is Old Basing within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is it messy?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Most of the time, yes. We will explain which colours are available and agree one before work begins.
What sealant do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We’ll tell you what we are using and why.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Does someone need to be in?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.
What sealant work cannot fix
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Older mastics that may need an asbestos check before removal
- A tray or bath that is cracked
- A bath, tray or worktop that moves until it’s properly fixed
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Failed movement joints
- Expansion joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep the room well ventilated
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
Give the new sealant its full cure time: usually around 24 hours, or as long as we advise.
Leaks through failed sealant grow over time. Every shower or downpour sends more water through, into floors, walls or ceilings. Sorting it early limits the damage.

Do you need remedial sealant in Old Basing?
Using the wrong product is a common cause: caulk where it gets wet, rigid sealant where things move, or an acetoxy silicone on a surface it can mark. None of them last.
People usually contact us when they notice one of these:
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
- Beads that never stuck properly
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
- Over-sealed joints coming away

What remedial sealant looks like in Old Basing
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. Managing a site like Old Basing Infant School? Then washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.

What affects the cost of remedial sealant
Call for a quick quote. The main things that affect it are:
- The product the joint needs
- When we can work, for business premises
- Access and height
- The amount of work
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- The address or postcode of the job
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Whether it’s a home or a business

What we do, step by step
There is not much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The work itself takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied from start to finish. In a smaller place like Old Basing, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- First we find out how and where the joint has failed.
- All the old sealant comes out, including any layers underneath.
- We clean the joint, treat any mould and let it dry.
- Where the joint moves, backing and a flexible sealant suited to the movement go in.
- We tool the joint and tell you about anything else that needs attention.
Before we arrive
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Clear the area around the work
