Remedial sealant near South Ham

What the job involves on each surface

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.

Windows & doors

Frames resealed over the top end up with hard, layered mastic. We remove it all and clean back to sound surfaces.

Remedial sealant in South Ham

Remedial jobs in South Ham generally fall into a few patterns: sealant over sealant, mould under the bead, leaks that come back and movement joints that have split. Each is stripped back and done again properly. Common call-outs are for beads that never stuck properly and worktop sealant that has shrunk and split, across botched or over-sealed joints, failed movement joints and leaking tray & enclosure joints.

Even in a smaller place like South Ham, bathrooms and kitchens see heavy daily use. Whether it’s a cottage bathroom or a newer en suite, the approach is the same: all the old material out, the joint cleaned and dried, then new sealant or grout.

All our work is covered by our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Hampshire.

For landlords and businesses

We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.

From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.

What we cannot put right

In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:

  • A bath, tray or worktop that moves until it’s properly fixed
  • Tiles that have come away from the wall
  • A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacing)

Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.

Questions from South Ham

Can you help a landlord with a rental near Basingstoke station?

Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.

Do you cover South Ham for remedial sealant?

Yes. We work across London and the South East, and South Ham is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.

Can you quote for more than one area?

Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is normally more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.

Which products do you use?

We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will explain our choice.

Can you work on commercial sites?

Yes. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area to suit the site.

Do you guarantee remedial jobs?

Yes. You get our 12-month guarantee, and we are ARBOMaster approved.

Are you ARBOMaster approved?

Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme.

Do you fix expansion and movement joints?

Yes. If a joint has been filled with mortar or rigid filler, we rake it out where possible, then the joint is sealed properly.

Common problems we fix in South Ham

Products get mixed up: acrylic caulk in a wet area, a general-purpose sealant on a moving joint, or an acetoxy silicone on natural stone or some metals. None of them last.

If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:

  • Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
  • Movement joints that have split or pulled away
  • Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
  • Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones

If you let a flat or house near Basingstoke station, botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.

What to look for in a quote

  • What guarantee comes with the work
  • What preparation is included
  • Which sealant they’ll use, and why
  • Is VAT in the price?

Aftercare tips

Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:

  • Clean sealant with mild products only
  • Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
  • Deal with small splits early
  • Run the fan after every shower

Give the new sealant its full cure time: follow the cure time we give you.

Mould under a second layer of sealant keeps growing out of sight. When it finally shows, the whole bead needs to come out.

Remedial sealant in South Ham: 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.

For an older house near a landmark such as Saint Peter's Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. Managing a site like St Anne's Catholic 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.

The process

Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and clear up. It usually takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. For a job in South Ham, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.

  1. First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
  2. Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.
  3. We treat any mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
  5. We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
  • Clear the area around the work
  • Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
