Remedial sealant & repairs in Shootash, Hampshire
Removing failed, mouldy or leaking sealant and putting it right for homes and businesses in Shootash and across Hampshire. ARBOMaster approved applicators, fully insured, with a 12-month guarantee.
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
- Never seal over old silicone
- Act on a lifting corner straight away
Keep the room ventilated: run the fan during and after showers, or open a window.
Warning signs: peeling layers, mould showing through the bead, leaks after showering or cracks in a movement joint. Each one is worth getting looked at.

If you are dealing with dark patches showing through the sealant and thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles, we can help.
Somewhere as small as Shootash, 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.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

What else we do in Shootash
How the visit works
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. Somewhere like Shootash needs a little journey planning: 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.
- Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.
- Mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- The joint is tooled and you’re told about anything else we found.
Preparing for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Questions from Shootash
Do you cover Shootash for remedial sealant?
Yes, Shootash is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Do you cover smaller places like Shootash?
Yes. Shootash is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, regularly. Several properties can be quoted together, and between tenancies is a good time for the work.
Can you remove old sealant without damaging the bath?
Yes. We avoid heavy scraping and use the right cleaner for each surface.
What should I tell you?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few pictures.
Can you reseal a split movement joint?
Yes. The depth is set with backing so the sealant only bonds to the two sides, which lets it stretch.
What if the leak is not the sealant?
In that case, we tell you what we’ve found. A plumber or fitter may be needed before any new sealant goes on.
How long should I leave it?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We will tell you how long to leave the joint before we leave.

Signs you need remedial sealant in Shootash
A lot of failed joints have been sealed over rather than replaced. New silicone can’t stick to the old bead, so the top layer lifts and water and mould collect between the two.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
- A second bead peeling off the first
- Black mould underneath the bead
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
In the older streets around Church of All Saints, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Why it’s worth doing now in Shootash
Another bead over the top will not fix a failed joint. It cannot bond to what’s underneath, so the leak carries on and there’s now more to remove. Older cottages and farmhouses around Shootash can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Doing several joints on one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
Why us?
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas

Different surfaces, different methods
Windows & doors
Frames resealed over the top end up with hard, layered mastic. All of it is cut out and the frame and wall cleaned before backing and resealing.
Movement & expansion joints
A sealant stuck to the back of the joint cannot stretch. Backing stops that, so the sealant grips the two sides only.
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.
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, then guaranteed for a year.
