Remenham Hill: your questions answered
I let a flat near Henley-On-Thames station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Remenham Hill?
Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
Can you strip sealant from an acrylic tray safely?
Yes. Careful removal is most of a remedial job, particularly on softer surfaces like acrylic.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
How long will it take to strip and reseal the joint?
That depends on how many layers there are and how many joints. We’ll tell you before work begins.
My shower still leaks after a reseal. Can you sort it?
Yes, normally. We check it’s the sealant and not the tray, valve or waste, then strip and reseal the joints.
Do you guarantee remedial jobs?
Yes, for 12 months. Where we have flagged another fault, it needs fixing for the joint to last.
How long should I leave it?
It depends on the product. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
Remedial sealant around Remenham Hill
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings. Remenham Hill has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Nicholas, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. For landlords with property near Henley-On-Thames station, a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
- Act on a lifting corner right away
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
Where we have pointed out another fault, have it put right, or the new joint may fail again.
Movement joints that have split let water into the structure, and the longer it’s left, the more the joint edges break down. A joint with sound edges is far easier to reseal.
Different surfaces, different methods
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Black mould inside the bead won’t scrub out. All of it comes out, and the joint is treated and dried before anti-fungal sanitary silicone goes in.
Worktops & kitchens
Old kitchen sealant pulls back from the wall over time. It’s cut out, degreased and resealed colour-matched to the worktop.

The process

For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First we find out how and where the joint has failed.
- Every layer of old sealant is cut and cleaned out.
- We clean the joint, treat any mould and let it dry.

Do you need remedial sealant in Remenham Hill?
Some joints fail because water is reaching them from behind. A slow leak behind the tiles soaks the joint from the back, and the sealant lifts or goes mouldy from underneath.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Black mould underneath the bead
- Over-sealed joints coming away
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
Managing a site like Rupert House School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
Questions to ask before you book
- Is VAT in the price?
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Who turns up on the day
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
- Movement from fittings that are not supported
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- Failed movement joints

DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
