About our remedial sealant in Southwood
Remedial work is what we do when sealant has failed or been done badly. New sealant over old, smeared beads, unsuitable products and hidden mould all need stripping out. We work on failed movement joints, botched or over-sealed joints and expansion joints, and people most often call us about smears and lumps from a botched reseal and floor or wall movement joints that have failed.
Around Southwood, you will mostly find houses and bungalows, some older and some much newer. Bathrooms and kitchens here get the same daily wear as anywhere, and the sealant and grout show it first.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

How it works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can get on with your day. The job usually takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out, and we explain the cure time before we leave. Parking around Southwood is normally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- First we find out how and where the joint has failed.
- Every layer of old sealant is cut and cleaned out.
- Next, any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- Where the joint moves, backing and a flexible sealant suited to the movement go in.
- We tool the joint and tell you about anything else that needs attention.
Before we arrive
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Advice
What happens if it’s left?
Hidden water does the most damage: wet floors, stained ceilings and swollen worktops. By comparison, sorting the joint is quick. Homes in smaller places like Southwood can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.

When something else is needed
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Plumbing leaks behind walls or under trays
- A tray or worktop that needs refixing first
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Expansion joints
- Failed movement joints
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Landlord and commercial work in Southwood
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can be quoted together.
Your questions about remedial sealant in Southwood
Do you take on hotel work around Southwood?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Is Southwood within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you take off two layers of silicone?
Yes. We remove every layer; over-sealing fails because silicone won’t bond to silicone.
Which products do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Where are you based?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
What does remedial sealant cost?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote.
Can you fix a reseal that hasn’t worked?
Yes. Repeat leaks generally come from over-sealing, movement or water getting in elsewhere, so we find that first.
Can I do it myself?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
What the job involves on each surface
Windows & doors
Some leaks around windows come from the wall or the window itself. We check the joint and tell you if it looks to be something else.
Worktops & kitchens
Kitchen joints hold grease and residue, so cleaning takes longer than in a bathroom before resealing.
What remedial sealant looks like in Southwood
There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Southwood. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
Managing a site like Southwood Infant 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. If you let a flat or house near Fleet 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 John the Baptist, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
