- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.

Remedial sealant in South Heath
Movement and expansion joints fail when the sealant can’t stretch. The old sealant comes out and backing goes in to control the depth, then a flexible sealant matched to the movement goes in. We work on botched or over-sealed joints, shrunken worktop sealant and mouldy bath & shower sealant, and people most often call us about a shower that leaks however often it’s resealed and over-sealed joints coming away.
Somewhere as small as South Heath, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee.

When it is not the sealant
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Movement from fittings that are not supported
- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Expansion joints
- Failed movement joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Deal with small splits early
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
- Keep the room well ventilated
- Find out why the sealant failed first
If we’ve found a cause, such as a loose tray or a leaking waste, get it fixed, because the new sealant can’t hold back a problem underneath.
Do not keep resealing the same joint. Have someone find out why, otherwise the next attempt will fail too.
How we quote for remedial sealant
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- The number and length of the joints
- Whether the work is at height
- The number of rooms or windows
- Any working-time requirements on site
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Asking for a quote
To help us quote quickly, let us know:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- The address or postcode of the job
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Photos by email, if that is easy
There’s no standard price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To arrange one, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Questions from South Heath
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Great Missenden station?

Is South Heath in your area for remedial sealant?

What does remedial sealant cost?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a short description of the job.
Should I try DIY first?
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.
Do you guarantee remedial jobs?
Yes. Our one-year guarantee covers the work, and we are fully insured.
Which products do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is generally more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Is it messy?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
What the job involves on each surface
Leaking trays & enclosures
When failed joints are the cause, they’re all cut out and renewed, tray edges and screen profiles included.
Movement & expansion joints
A movement joint must be able to stretch. Failed sealant is cut out, backing rod or tape is fitted and the joint resealed.

For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.

Why it’s worth doing now in South Heath
Hidden water does the most damage: soaked floorboards, ceiling stains below and blown plaster. By comparison, sorting the joint is quick. Around South Heath, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first.

South Heath homes and their sealant
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.
For landlords with property near Great Missenden station, failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak. For an older house near a landmark such as St Mary's, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Great Missenden CofE Combined School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
