Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can be quoted together.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
How we handle remedial sealant in Park Town
Getting old sealant out properly is slow, careful work. We cut out every layer, clear the residue and degrease the surfaces, taking care not to scratch the surfaces around it. Only then can new sealant bond. If you are dealing with dark patches showing through the sealant and caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area, we can help.
Even in a smaller place like Park Town, bathrooms and kitchens see heavy daily use. Whether it’s a cottage bathroom or a newer en suite, the approach is the same: all the old material out, the joint cleaned and dried, then new sealant or grout.
Every job comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Oxfordshire.

The process
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before work begins. The work normally takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. A visit to Park Town is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off.
- Mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The right product goes in, with backing where the joint moves.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the work
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Common questions in Park Town
Is Park Town within the area you cover?
Yes. Park Town is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Park Town?
Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available for many products, and we agree the colour with you before any work starts.
Can you reseal a split movement joint?
Yes. Failed movement joints are cut out and resealed with backing and a flexible sealant suited to the movement.
How long before the joint can be used?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We will give you the cure time for the product we used before we leave.
Can you fix a reseal that hasn’t worked?
Yes. Repeat leaks usually come from over-sealing, movement or water getting in elsewhere, so we find that first.
What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will tell you what we are using.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What the job involves on each surface
Over-sealed & botched joints
Previous removal attempts can leave scratches or gouges. We work carefully to avoid adding to it, and point out any existing damage.
Movement & expansion joints
Joints filled with mortar, grout or rigid filler can’t move. We rake that out where it can be removed and seal with a flexible product.
Common problems we fix in Park Town
Sealant needs a clean, dry surface with no grease on it. Soap film, dust, damp or old residue stop it gripping, so it starts lifting sooner than it should.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
Managing a site like Wychwood 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.

Remedial sealant in Park Town: local notes
Park Town has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Rented homes near Oxford station change hands often, and a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.

When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
- Movement from fittings that aren’t supported
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Expansion joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Failed movement joints
Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
- Clean sealant with mild products only
Give the new sealant its full cure time: follow the cure time we give you.
Mould under a second layer of sealant keeps growing out of sight. When it finally shows, the whole bead needs to come out.
