What affects the cost of remedial sealant
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:
- The number and length of the joints
- The number of rooms or windows
- Which sealant suits the joint
- When we can work, for business premises
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Remedial sealant in Rew Street
Decorators’ caulk in a shower, bathroom silicone on a window, a rigid filler in a movement joint fails however neatly it’s applied. Out it comes, and in goes a sealant suited to the job. If you are dealing with mould trapped under a layer of silicone and caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area, we can put it right, on leaking tray & enclosure joints, expansion joints and failed movement joints alike.
In a village or hamlet like Rew Street, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Remedial sealant around Rew Street
Rew Street is close to the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Managing a site like Northwood Primary School? Then washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.

What the job involves on each surface
Movement & expansion joints
A sealant stuck to the back of the joint can’t stretch. Backing stops that, letting the sealant flex between the two faces.
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Mould can sit behind the silicone, not just in it. Once it’s all removed, the joint is treated so the new sealant starts clean.
How the visit works
There is not much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The work itself takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out from start to finish. In a small place like Rew Street, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We protect the surfaces around the joint.
- Every layer of failed sealant is stripped out.
- We clean and degrease the joint and look for signs of movement or water.
- Once dry, a suitable sealant is applied and tooled.
- We give you the cure time and explain what caused the failure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Tell us if parking is tricky

What else we do in Rew Street
What we’re called out for in Rew Street
Using the wrong product is a common cause: caulk where it gets wet, rigid sealant where things move, or an acetoxy silicone on a surface it can mark. None of them last.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Over-sealed joints coming away
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
In the older streets around All Saints' Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
What your quote should include
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Whether VAT is included
- The length of the guarantee
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
- Do not add new sealant on top of old
- Find out why the sealant failed first
Go easy on the new sealant: a mild cleaner and a soft cloth, with no blades or scourers.
Movement joints that have split let water into the structure, and the longer it’s left, the more the joint edges break down. Resealing while the edges are sound is simpler.
