- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, 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 matched to the joint and its conditions.

For landlords and businesses
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Remedial sealant in Sparsholt: local notes
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
Managing a site like The Ridgeway Church of England (C) 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.

Signs you need remedial sealant in Sparsholt
Even good sealant ages. Over the years it shrinks, hardens and gets colonised by mould, especially in damp, poorly aired rooms. At that point it has to come out.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of the Holy Rood, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
What your quote should include
- What guarantee comes with the work
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- Are they insured?
- Who turns up on the day
Surface by surface
Movement & expansion joints
Joints filled with mortar, grout or rigid filler can’t move. We rake that out where it can be removed and seal with a flexible product.
Worktops & kitchens
If a worktop moves when you lean on it, the sealant will keep splitting. That needs refixing before resealing, and we’ll tell you if we find it.
What we can’t put right
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we will tell you before we start. Sealant won’t put right:
- A tray or worktop that needs refixing first
- Failed tanking or loose tiles behind the sealant
- 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 call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- Failed movement joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Expansion joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant

Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
- Clean sealant with mild products only
- Don’t wait for a small gap to become a leak
- Check trays and worktops do not move
If we’ve found a cause, such as a loose tray or a leaking waste, get it fixed, or the new joint may fail again.
Don’t keep resealing the same joint. Have someone find out why, or the next bead will go the same way.
