How we handle remedial sealant in Pedlars End
Decorators’ caulk in a shower, bathroom silicone on a window, a rigid filler in a movement joint fails however neatly it’s applied. We take it out and use a sealant made for that joint. We are often asked to deal with leaks that keep coming back after resealing and caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area, on mouldy bath & shower sealant, shrunken worktop sealant and failed movement joints.
In a village or hamlet like Pedlars End, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

How we quote for remedial sealant
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- How much there is to do
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Which sealant suits the joint
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Roughly how big the job is
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- The problem you’ve noticed
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add pictures by email if you can.
Can I do it myself?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.

What we do, step by step
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. In a small place like Pedlars End, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- The failure is looked at first, so we know whether it’s sealant, movement or water from elsewhere.
- 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.
- The joint is tooled and you are told about anything else we found.
How to prepare
- Mention any tricky access
- Clear the area around the work

Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Pedlars End
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
Do you need remedial sealant in Pedlars End?
Joint depth matters. A bead bonded on three sides, or laid too thick, can’t flex, so it tears when the joint moves. Backing rod or bond-breaker tape prevents it.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Moreton Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Where do you work from?

What should I tell you?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we’re fully insured for every job we do.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
What happens if it’s left?
Ripping out a bathroom is not generally needed. When the fittings are sound, stripping and resealing the joints is often enough. If they’re not, we’ll tell you. Older cottages and farmhouses around Pedlars End can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
