Remedial Sealant in Poundon
Failed sealant joints in Poundon need attention? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant.
- A second bead peeling off the first
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
- Torn expansion joints
How the job changes by surface
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Black mould inside the bead will not scrub out. All of it comes out, and the joint is treated and dried before anti-fungal sanitary silicone goes in.
Movement & expansion joints
Movement joints in floors, walls and façades need a flexible sealant set to the right depth. Failed sealant is cut out, backing rod or tape is fitted and the joint resealed with a low-modulus product.
About our remedial sealant in Poundon
In Poundon, as anywhere, remedial jobs tend to look alike: sealant over sealant, mould under the bead, leaks that come back and movement joints that have split. We strip each one back and start from scratch. If you are dealing with a shower that leaks however often it’s resealed and movement joints that have split or pulled away, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Poundon, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.

How it works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out from start to finish. For a village or hamlet like Poundon, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First we find out how and where the joint has failed.
- We strip the joint completely, removing any layers below.
- We clean the joint, treat any mould and let it dry.
- We use the right backing and sealant for any joint that moves.
- Finally we finish the joint and talk you through what we found.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Do not point over movement joints
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
Where we have pointed out another fault, have it put right, because the new sealant cannot hold back a problem underneath.
Mould under a second layer of sealant keeps growing out of sight. When it finally shows, the whole bead needs to come out.
