Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Shalstone
Remedial work is what we do when sealant has failed or been done badly. New sealant over old, smeared beads, unsuitable products and hidden mould all have to come out. We’re often asked to deal with a second bead peeling off the first and caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area, on botched or over-sealed joints, shrunken worktop sealant and failed movement joints.
In a village or hamlet like Shalstone, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.

Your questions about remedial sealant in Shalstone
What guarantee comes with remedial sealant in Shalstone?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Can you do remedial sealant in Shalstone?
Yes, Shalstone is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. More than one area can go on one quote.
What does remedial sealant cost?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a short description of the job.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Cure times vary by product and the conditions. Before we leave, we will tell you the cure time.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in.
What we do, step by step
You do not need to clear the whole room or building, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out in most cases. Somewhere as small as Shalstone, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we find out how and where the joint has failed.
- We strip the joint completely, removing any layers below.
- Next, any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- Where the joint moves, backing and a flexible sealant suited to the movement go in.
- Finally we finish the joint and talk you through what we found.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Tell us about any water getting in

Remedial sealant in Shalstone: local notes
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
In and around Shalstone, as anywhere, good remedial sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint. Homes close to Church of St Edward include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

When something else is needed
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacing)
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Where we work in Shalstone
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Expansion joints
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Failed movement joints
What happens if it’s left?
It’s easy to scratch acrylic, enamel or an uPVC frame cutting out old sealant, and any film left behind stops new sealant sticking. Careful removal is most of a remedial job. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Shalstone, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
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. You’ll know the price before we begin.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again.
How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
- Check ceilings under showers for marks
- Do not wait for a small gap to become a leak
If the joint ever needs renewing, have it cut out, not sealed over. Over-sealing is how many remedial jobs start.
Signs to act on: peeling layers, mould showing through the bead, leaks after showering or cracks in a movement joint. Any of them means it’s time for remedial work.
