About our remedial sealant in Priestwood
Remedial jobs in Priestwood generally fall into a few patterns: over-sealed joints, hidden mould, repeat leaks and split movement joints. We strip each one back and start from scratch. We work on failed movement joints, botched or over-sealed joints and mouldy bath & shower sealant, and people most often call us about repeat leaks from the same joint and thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles.
In and around Priestwood, older properties sit alongside newer ones. Older homes can move a little with the seasons, which is hard on tired sealant and rigid grout.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee in Priestwood and across Bracknell Forest.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Never seal over old silicone
- Run the fan after every shower
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
- Don’t wait for a small gap to become a leak
Keep an eye on the joint at first, particularly where the original failure was caused by movement. If anything changes, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Mould trapped under over-sealed joints spreads unseen. When it finally shows, the whole bead needs to come out.
The process
You do not need to clear the whole room or building, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out in most cases. Parking around Priestwood is normally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- We protect the surfaces around the joint.
- Every layer of failed sealant is stripped out.
- The joint is degreased and checked for movement and leaks.
- Once dry, a suitable sealant is applied and tooled.
- You get the cure time and our view on why the joint failed.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention any tricky access
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

What else we do in Priestwood
Surface by surface
Movement & expansion joints
A sealant stuck to the back of the joint cannot stretch. Backing rod or bond-breaker tape prevents it, letting the sealant flex between the two faces.
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Repeat mould normally points to a damp, poorly aired room. Along with resealing, we will mention if the room needs better ventilation.
What remedial sealant looks like in Priestwood
Bracknell, which Priestwood is part of, is one of England’s post-war new towns. Many homes date from the post-war decades, so bathrooms and kitchens may be on their second or third set of sealant. New sealant will not stick to old, so the old layers have to come out first. Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Schools such as Meadow Vale Primary School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. For an older house near a landmark such as St Andrew, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. If you let a flat or house near Bracknell station, failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.

Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Common questions in Priestwood
Is Priestwood within the area you cover?
Yes. Priestwood 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 Priestwood?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We will tell you how long to leave the joint.
Where do you work from?
Our base is in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Can old silicone be taken off without scratching the tiles?
Yes. We avoid heavy scraping and use the right cleaner for each surface.
Can you fix a reseal that hasn’t worked?
Yes. All the sealant comes out, we find out why it failed, and the joint is resealed properly.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We’ll suggest a colour to suit the surroundings, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The product needed can limit the range.
Why it’s worth doing now in Priestwood
Ripping out a bathroom isn’t generally needed. When the fittings are sound, stripping and resealing the joints is often enough. If they’re not, we’ll tell you. Homes in smaller places like Priestwood can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
