Common questions in Privett
Is Privett in your area for remedial sealant?
Yes, Privett is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Do you cover smaller places like Privett?
Yes, Privett is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is remedial work guaranteed?
Yes. Remedial work carries the same 12-month guarantee as all our work.
My shower still leaks after a reseal. Can you sort it?
Yes. First we check whether the leak is the sealant at all, then strip and reseal the joints.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
What if the leak isn’t the sealant?
In that case, we tell you what we have found. A plumber or fitter may be needed.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work in homes, commercial premises and hotels.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available, and we agree the colour with you before any work starts.
Remedial sealant in Privett, done properly
Getting old sealant out properly is slow, careful work. Every layer is cut out, the residue cleaned off and the joint degreased, taking care not to scratch the surfaces around it. Only then can new sealant bond. We work on mouldy bath & shower sealant, failed movement joints and expansion joints, and the jobs we see most are products that weren’t meant for the joint and gaps opening along the back of the worktop.
Homes around Privett are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats. The work is the same as anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

What else we do in Privett
Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
- Don’t point over movement joints
Clean gently: no scraping, scouring pads or harsh chemicals.
A split movement joint lets rain into walls and floors, and left long enough, the edges of the joint can crumble. A joint with sound edges is far easier to reseal.
Why deal with it now?
It’s easy to scratch acrylic, enamel or an uPVC frame cutting out old sealant, and the residue left behind stops the next bead bonding. Careful removal is most of a remedial job. Around Privett, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Combining jobs into one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

Remedial sealant in Privett: local notes
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
If you let a flat or house near Petersfield station, botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.

What we do, step by step
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and tidy away. It generally takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. In a small place like Privett, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- 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.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
How to get a quote

Related advice
Landlord and commercial work in Privett
We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
What we are called out for in Privett
Joint depth matters. Sealant packed too deep, or stuck to the back of the joint as well as the sides, can’t stretch, and tears at the first real movement. Backing sets the depth and stops that.
The most common problems we see are:
- Over-sealed joints coming away
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
- Black mould underneath the bead
- Torn expansion joints
In the older streets around Holy Trinity Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

When it isn’t the sealant
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Movement from fittings that are not supported
- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
- Water damage behind tiles that needs a tiler

Joints and surfaces we work on
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Expansion joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Failed movement joints
Different surfaces, different methods
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Repeat mould generally points to a damp, poorly aired room. Along with resealing, we will mention if the room needs better ventilation.
Worktops & kitchens
Old kitchen sealant pulls back from the wall over time. It’s cut out, degreased and resealed colour-matched to the worktop.
