About our remedial sealant in Puttenham
Some sealant jobs are not a simple reseal, because someone has already had a go. New sealant over old, smeared beads, unsuitable products and hidden mould all have to come out. If you are dealing with sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted and gaps opening along the back of the worktop, we can put it right, on failed movement joints, expansion joints and mouldy bath & shower sealant alike.
Somewhere as small as Puttenham, 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.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Puttenham
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
In the older streets around Church of St Mary (Church of England), older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Long Marston VA Church of England Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
When something else is needed
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- A tray or bath that’s cracked
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

When to call us in Puttenham
Some joints fail because water is reaching them from behind. A leaking valve, a failed waste or cracked grout feeds water behind the bead, so the silicone goes mouldy or lets go.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Beads that never stuck properly
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
Rented homes near Cheddington station change hands often, and failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.
Questions to ask before booking
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Are they insured?
- What preparation is included
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Find out why the sealant failed first
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
- Deal with small splits early
- Do not point over movement joints
Keep the room ventilated: use the extractor or open a window after showering.
Warning signs: sealant lifting at the ends, a second bead visible on top of the first, black mould under the silicone, or stains below a bathroom. Any of them means it’s time for remedial work.
Different surfaces, different methods
Windows & doors
Some leaks around windows come from the wall or the window itself. We check the joint and tell you if it looks to be something else.
Movement & expansion joints
Some movement joints have been filled with mortar or grout. We rake that out where it can be removed and seal with a flexible product.
What affects the quote in Puttenham
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The number of rooms or windows
- Whether the work is at height
Doing several joints on one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We’ll send you a clear quote for the lot.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- The rough size of the job
- If someone has resealed it before
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we’ll talk you through what we’d do. When it suits you, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
What happens on the day
At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The work normally takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere as small as Puttenham, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We protect the surfaces around the joint.
- The botched or failed sealant is cut away completely.
- We clean and degrease the joint and look for signs of movement or water.
- New sealant goes in once the joint is dry, and is tooled smooth.
- You get the cure time and our view on why the joint failed.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
