Remedial sealant in Purbrook Heath
Removing failed sealant is the hardest part of the job. We cut out every layer, clear the residue and degrease the surfaces, without scratching tiles, trays or frames. New sealant only bonds to a clean, dry joint. If you are dealing with movement joints that have split or pulled away and black mould underneath the bead, we can put it right, on mouldy bath & shower sealant, expansion joints and shrunken worktop sealant alike.
For a small place like Purbrook Heath, remedial sealant is planned like any other job: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

What happens if it’s left?
Spraying mould remover on a sealed-over joint doesn’t reach what’s underneath. Removal is the only way to get at it, and the joint treated and dried before resealing. In a small place like Purbrook Heath, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: 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.

Advice
FAQs for Purbrook Heath
Is Purbrook Heath within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
I let a flat near Cosham station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Do you guarantee remedial jobs?
Yes, with our one-year guarantee. If we have pointed out another problem, getting it fixed helps the new joint last.
How long does the work take?
It takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. You’ll know the timing when we quote.
What sealant do you use?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Can failed expansion joints be resealed?
Yes. Failed movement joints are cut out and resealed with backing and a flexible sealant suited to the movement.
Can you take off two layers of silicone?
Yes. Stripping layered sealant takes longer than a normal reseal, but it’s what makes the new bead last.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Remedial sealant in Purbrook Heath: local notes
Purbrook Heath is close to the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
Rented homes near Cosham station change hands often, and failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak. Managing a site like Purbrook Junior School? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

Common problems we fix in Purbrook Heath
Even good sealant ages. Mould grows into the silicone, the surface hardens and the bead shrinks. At that point it has to come out.
Look out for any of the following:
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
Homes close to Church of St John include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
Before you book anyone
- What guarantee comes with the work
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Whether you can choose the colour
- When the joint can take water or movement
Honest limits
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Failed tanking or loose tiles behind the sealant
- Cracks in the fitting rather than the joint
- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.

We also work for property managers and facilities teams. We can quote a run of properties together, and we are fully insured for the work.
Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
- Never seal over old silicone
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
- Keep the room well ventilated
Ventilation keeps mould away from the new bead: use the extractor or open a window after showering.
If a joint has failed more than once, stop resealing it. Have someone find out why, otherwise the next attempt will fail too.
