About our remedial sealant in Speen
If a joint has been resealed and is leaking again, it’s worth a proper look. It helps to have photos when you call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email, and say how long ago it was last done. If you have wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones and movement joints that have split or pulled away, we can help, on failed movement joints, expansion joints and shrunken worktop sealant alike.
Homes around Speen are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
All our work comes with a 12-month guarantee.

How it works
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work starts. Most jobs take a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. For a village or hamlet like Speen, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We protect the surfaces around the joint.
- Every layer of failed sealant is stripped out.
- The joint is degreased and checked for movement and leaks.
- Once dry, a suitable sealant is applied and tooled.
- You get the cure time and our view on why the joint failed.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Signs you need remedial sealant in Speen
One of the commonest remedial jobs is sealant on top of sealant. Silicone doesn’t bond to silicone, so the top layer lifts and water and mould collect between the two.
The most common problems we see are:
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
- Beads that never stuck properly
Rented homes near Saunderton station change hands often, and failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.

In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Remedial sealant around Speen
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
If you live in an older home near Speen Church (Baptist), walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. If you look after a building such as Speen CofE VA School, 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.

DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Check ceilings under showers for marks
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
- Act on a lifting corner straight away
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
Do not let anyone seal over it later. Over-sealing is how many remedial jobs start.
Movement joints that have split let water into the structure, and the longer it’s left, the more the joint edges break down. Resealing while the edges are sound is simpler.

What affects the cost of remedial sealant
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The number and length of the joints
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The number of rooms or windows
- Access and height
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before work begins, so you know where you stand.
What we need to know
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Where the property is
- Photos by email, if that is easy
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email pictures if that is easy.
Leave it or put it right?
A joint that has failed twice will fail again unless the cause is dealt with. Taking time to find the cause, whether it’s movement, a leak or the wrong product, is what stops it happening again. Older cottages and farmhouses around Speen can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.
