About our remedial sealant in Speen
Remedial work is what we do when sealant has failed or been done badly. Silicone laid over silicone, smears across tiles, the wrong product in a moving joint or mould trapped underneath all need stripping out. Common call-outs are for smears and lumps from a botched reseal and dark patches showing through the sealant, on botched or over-sealed joints, mouldy bath & shower sealant and leaking tray & enclosure joints.
Somewhere as small as Speen, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Speen: your questions answered
Is Speen 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 help a landlord with a rental near Newbury station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
What should I tell you?
A short description and the location. If we need more, we will ask.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We have worked for hotels, offices and other businesses.
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.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
What sealant do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We’ll tell you what we’re using and why.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
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.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again.
What affects the quote in Speen
You will get a clear quote before work begins. It’s based on:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Access and height
- How many areas need sealing
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
What to tell us for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- The problem you’ve noticed
- How we’d reach the joints
- Whether it has been sealed before
Getting a quote is simple: let us know what needs doing and where and its rough size. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we’ll take it from there.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
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.
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Leave it or put it right?
Spraying mould remover on a sealed-over joint doesn’t reach what’s underneath. The layers have to come out, and the joint treated and dried before resealing. In a small place like Speen, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.

Common problems we fix in Speen
How a joint is built matters as much as the product. A bead bonded on three sides, or laid too thick, can’t flex, and tears at the first real movement. Backing rod or bond-breaker tape prevents it.
Look out for any of the following:
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
If you let a flat or house near Newbury station, a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.
Before you book anyone
- How the colour is chosen
- Are they insured?
- Is VAT in the price?
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
What sealant work cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- A tray or worktop that needs refixing first
- Water damage behind tiles that needs a tiler
- Plumbing leaks behind walls or under trays
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think before booking.
What we seal
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Expansion joints
- Failed movement joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
Bathrooms and kitchens in Speen
Speen has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room. Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up 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 Parish Church of St Mary, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Robert Sandilands Primary School and Nursery, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

What we do, step by step
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. In a small place like Speen, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We look at how the sealant has failed and check for movement or a leak path.
- All the old sealant comes out, including any layers underneath.
- Next, any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- Moving joints get backing and a flexible sealant to suit.
- Finally we finish the joint and talk you through what we found.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Mention any tricky access
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
