About our remedial sealant in Sandy Cross
Removing failed sealant is the hardest part of the job. We cut out every layer, clear the residue and degrease the surfaces, taking care not to scratch the surfaces around it. Only then can new sealant bond. We work on failed movement joints, mouldy bath & shower sealant and shrunken worktop sealant, and the jobs we see most are mould trapped under a layer of silicone and over-sealed joints coming away.
Somewhere as small as Sandy Cross, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

What happens if it’s left?
Stripping out botched sealant adds time to a reseal, but not by much: it takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. Compared with chasing the same leak every few months, it’s time well spent. In a small place like Sandy Cross, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
What you get with us
- One-year guarantee on every job

What else we do in Sandy Cross
How the job changes by surface
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Mould often spreads under the bead as well as through it. Once it’s all removed, the joint is treated so the new sealant starts clean.
Windows & doors
Some leaks around windows come from the wall or the window itself. If the frame joint is not the cause, we’ll say so.
Sandy Cross homes and their sealant
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Laurence, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Paul's CofE Infant School & Nursery, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

When to call us in Sandy Cross
How a joint is built matters as much as the product. Sealant packed too deep, or stuck to the back of the joint as well as the sides, can’t stretch, so it tears when the joint moves. Backing rod or bond-breaker tape prevents it.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
- Beads that never stuck properly
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
If you let a flat or house near Aldershot station, failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.
What to look for in a quote
- Is VAT in the price?

The process
On the day, we start by going over the job with you. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work starts. The work generally takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. For a village or hamlet like Sandy Cross, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First we find out how and where the joint has failed.
- All the old sealant comes out, including any layers underneath.
- We clean the joint, treat any mould and let it dry.
- Where the joint moves, backing and a flexible sealant suited to the movement go in.
- We tool the joint and tell you about anything else that needs attention.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Clear the area around the work
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Advice
Sandy Cross questions
Is Sandy Cross within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you cover Sandy Cross for remedial sealant?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Sandy Cross is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.
Which products do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what we are using.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we are fully insured.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
How long should I leave it?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We’ll tell you how long to leave the joint before we leave.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Will there be a smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
What affects the quote in Sandy Cross
We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The type of sealant required
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The amount of work
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- The problem you’ve noticed
We quote each job on its own, so start by telling us what you need. Simply ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and describe the job and send pictures if you have them.
DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Cracks in the fitting rather than the joint
- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
- Water damage behind tiles that needs a tiler
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think before booking.
