Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Shenington
Movement and expansion joints fail when the sealant can’t stretch. We cut out the failed sealant and set the depth with backing, before resealing with a flexible product suited to the movement. Typical jobs include caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area and gaps opening along the back of the worktop, on leaking tray & enclosure joints, mouldy bath & shower sealant and botched or over-sealed joints.
In a village or hamlet like Shenington, 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.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

Different surfaces, different methods
Windows & doors
Smeared or badly matched mastic can be cut out and redone neatly, matched to the frame colour.
Over-sealed & botched joints
Botched joints sometimes have damaged edges from earlier scraping. We take care not to make it worse, and point out any existing damage.
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 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. Around Shenington, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
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.

What happens on the day
Once we’re on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. For a village or hamlet like Shenington, 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 work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off.
- Mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The right product goes in, with backing where the joint moves.
- The joint is tooled and you’re told about anything else we found.

Do you have insurance?
Yes, we’re fully insured for every job we do.
What remedial sealant looks like in Shenington
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.
Managing a site like Shenington Church of England 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. If you live in an older home near Church of Holy Trinity, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Check trays and worktops don’t move
- Check ceilings under showers for marks
- Clean sealant with mild products only
- Find out why the sealant failed first
Watch the joint over the first few weeks, especially if movement was the problem. Should anything change, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
A failing joint rarely gets better on its own. Each use pushes more water behind the bead, into floors, walls or ceilings. Early action keeps it to a sealant job.
What sealant work cannot fix
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A tray or worktop that needs refixing first
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacing)
- Water damage behind tiles that needs a tiler
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
