What the job involves on each surface
Windows & doors
Frames resealed over the top end up with hard, layered mastic. We remove it all and clean back to sound surfaces before backing and resealing.
Over-sealed & botched joints
Every layer has to come out, and silicone residue is cleaned off the tiles too. Only a clean joint will take a new bead.
What sealant work can’t fix
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Failed tanking or loose tiles behind the sealant
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Expansion joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints

Bathrooms and kitchens in Skippers Hill
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
In the older streets around Church of the Good Shepherd, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. Rented homes near Crowborough station change hands often, and botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants. If you look after a building such as Skippers Hill Manor School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
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, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. Somewhere as small as Skippers Hill, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- The failure is looked at first, so we know whether it’s sealant, movement or water from elsewhere.
- Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off.
- We treat any mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Don’t wait for a small gap to become a leak
- Don’t point over movement joints
- Check ceilings under showers for marks
- Never seal over old silicone
Do not let anyone seal over it later. Over-sealing is how many remedial jobs start.
Leaks through failed sealant grow over time. Each use pushes more water behind the bead, into floors, walls or ceilings. Early action keeps it to a sealant job.
FAQs for Skippers Hill
Will you come out to Skippers Hill?

Where are you based?

Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
How long does remedial resealing take?
Allow a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. You will know the timing when we quote.
Someone sealed over the old bead. Can you fix it?
Yes. It’s slower than a standard reseal, because every layer has to come out cleanly, but it’s the only way the new joint will last.
Leave it or put it right?
Spraying mould remover on a sealed-over joint doesn’t reach what’s underneath. The layers have to come out, so the joint can be treated and resealed. Around Skippers Hill, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Doing several joints on one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits. We will send you a clear quote for the lot.
