Rookley Remedial Sealant
Removing failed, mouldy or leaking sealant and putting it right for homes and businesses in Rookley and across the Isle of Wight. Fully insured, ARBOMaster approved and guaranteed for a year.
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
- Over-sealed joints coming away
Why it’s worth doing now in Rookley
Stripping out botched sealant adds time to a reseal, but not by much: it takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. It’s far less disruption than resealing the same joint again and again. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Rookley, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.

Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Rookley
In Rookley, as anywhere, remedial jobs tend to look alike: sealant over sealant, mould under the bead, leaks that come back and movement joints that have split. We strip each one back and start from scratch. If you have dark patches showing through the sealant and floor or wall movement joints that have failed, we can put it right, on mouldy bath & shower sealant, failed movement joints and leaking tray & enclosure joints alike.
Homes around Rookley 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.
All our work is covered by our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in the Isle of Wight.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Rookley
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Chillerton and Rookley Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. If you live in an older home near St. Olave's Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. Letting a property close to Shanklin station? Then a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.

What we cannot put right
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Failed tanking or loose tiles behind the sealant
- Older mastics that may need an asbestos check before removal
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Failed movement joints
- Expansion joints
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Botched or over-sealed joints
Can I do it myself?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
What happens on the day
You do not need to clear the whole room or building before we come, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied in most cases. For a village or hamlet like Rookley, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We protect the surfaces around the joint.
- The botched or failed sealant is cut away completely.
- The joint is degreased and checked for movement and leaks.
- New sealant goes in once the joint is dry, and is tooled smooth.
- We give you the cure time and explain what caused the failure.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
- Find out why the sealant failed first
- Act on a lifting corner straight away
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
Watch the joint over the first few weeks, especially if movement was the problem. If anything changes, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Signs to act on: sealant lifting at the ends, a second bead visible on top of the first, black mould under the silicone, or stains below a bathroom. Each one is worth getting looked at.

We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
