Remedial sealant in South Stour

A joint that keeps letting you down needs more than another bead. It helps to have photos when you call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email. We work on shrunken worktop sealant, mouldy bath & shower sealant and expansion joints, and the jobs we see most are a shower that leaks however often it’s resealed and sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted.

Homes around South Stour are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. The work is the same as anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.

All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in South Stour and everywhere else we cover.

Common problems we fix in South Stour

Movement tears sealant that is not 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.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
  • Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
  • Dark patches showing through the sealant
  • Movement joints that have split or pulled away

If you look after a building such as Finberry Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether you can choose the colour
  • Whether the sealant suits the joint
  • How the joint is cleaned and prepared
  • Is the old sealant removed completely?

What happens if it’s left?

Adding more sealant is the usual quick fix, and it rarely works. It can’t bond to what’s underneath, leaving the leak in place and one more layer to cut out later. In a small place like South Stour, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.

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, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

Surface by surface

Movement & expansion joints

Joints filled with mortar, grout or rigid filler can’t move. Where it can be raked out, we replace it with flexible sealant.

Worktops & kitchens

If a worktop moves when you lean on it, the sealant will keep splitting. It needs fixing down first, and we’ll tell you if we find it.

When it is not the sealant

A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:

  • A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacing)
  • Older mastics that may need an asbestos check before removal
  • Water damage behind tiles that needs a tiler

If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.

What we seal

  • Mouldy bath & shower sealant
  • Shrunken worktop sealant
  • Leaking tray & enclosure joints
  • Expansion joints
  • Failed movement joints
  • Botched or over-sealed joints

Quotes for remedial sealant in South Stour

There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:

  • How easy the joints are to reach
  • Working hours on commercial sites
  • Mould in or behind the old joints
  • The product the joint needs

Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Asking for a quote

Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:

  • Pictures of the joints, sent by email
  • Where the property is
  • How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
  • What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking

We quote each job on its own, so the first step is telling us about yours. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details and send photos if you have them.

What we do, step by step

A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, protect the area around them, do the work and clear up. Most jobs take a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. Somewhere as small as South Stour, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.

  1. We look at how the sealant has failed and check for movement or a leak path.
  2. Every layer of old sealant is cut and cleaned out.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated for mould and left to dry.
  4. Moving joints get backing and a flexible sealant to suit.
  5. The new joint is tooled neatly and we explain anything else we found.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move anything stored near the joints
  • Mention if the joints have been sealed before
  • Tell us about any water getting in
