About our remedial sealant in Skinner's Hill
With more than 20 years’ experience, our applicators have seen most of the ways sealant can fail. We are fully insured ARBOMaster approved applicators, and remedial work carries our 12-month guarantee. Typical jobs include leaks that keep coming back after resealing and dark patches showing through the sealant, on shrunken worktop sealant, failed movement joints and mouldy bath & shower sealant.
In a village or hamlet like Skinner's Hill, 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.

Surface by surface
Leaking trays & enclosures
A shower that leaks after resealing often has a tray that moves or an enclosure sealed on the wrong side. Both are checked before any new sealant goes on.
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Mould can sit behind the silicone, not just in it. Once it’s all removed, the joint is treated.
FAQs for Skinner's Hill
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Sandown station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Is Skinner's Hill in your area for remedial sealant?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Skinner's Hill is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing.
How long does the work take?
That depends on how many layers there are and how many joints. We will tell you before work begins.
Someone resealed my shower and it’s leaking again. Can you help?
Yes. All the sealant comes out, we find out why it failed, and the joint is resealed properly.
How long before the joint can be used?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We will tell you how long to leave the joint before we leave.
Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Can you remove sealant that’s been put over old sealant?
Yes. We cut out all the layers and clean off the film, then the joint is resealed once.
Which products do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will tell you what we’re using.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
What happens on the day
Once we are on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. Somewhere as small as Skinner's Hill, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- Surrounding tiles, trays and frames are protected first.
- Every layer of failed sealant is stripped out.
- We clean and degrease the joint and look for signs of movement or water.
- 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 about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Why it’s worth doing now in Skinner's Hill
Repeat failures have a cause. Taking time to find the cause, whether it’s movement, a leak or the wrong product, is what stops it happening again. Older cottages and farmhouses around Skinner's Hill can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.

How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
- Act on a lifting corner straight away
- Never seal over old silicone
- Check trays and worktops don’t move
Go easy on the new sealant: no scraping, scouring pads or harsh chemicals.
Warning signs: 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.
Common problems we fix in Skinner's Hill
Movement tears sealant that isn’t designed for it. A bath that flexes, a tray that rocks or a building joint that opens and closes split any bead that is too stiff or too thin.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
- Beads that never stuck properly
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
Managing a site like Newchurch Primary School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
Questions to ask before you book
- Who turns up on the day
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Are they insured?
Remedial sealant around Skinner's Hill
Skinner's Hill is close to the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you live in an older home near All Saints' Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. For landlords with property near Sandown station, failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.
