About our remedial sealant in Steep Marsh
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 have to come out before the joint can be done properly. We work on mouldy bath & shower sealant, botched or over-sealed joints and leaking tray & enclosure joints, and the jobs we see most are sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted and sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared.
Somewhere as small as Steep Marsh, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Do you need remedial sealant in Steep Marsh?
One of the commonest remedial jobs is sealant on top of sealant. New silicone cannot stick to the old bead, so the new layer peels, and damp and mould settle between them.
The problems people usually mention when they call include:
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
- Torn expansion joints
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of All Saints, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

What we cannot put right
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
- A bath, tray or worktop that moves until it’s properly fixed
- A tray or bath that is cracked
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Questions from Steep Marsh
Will you come out to Steep Marsh?
Yes. Steep Marsh is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Petersfield station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Is remedial work guaranteed?
Yes, for 12 months. Where we’ve flagged another fault, it needs fixing for the joint to last.
Someone sealed over the old bead. Can you fix it?
Yes. We cut out all the layers and clean off the film, then the joint is resealed once.
What happens if the problem is the tray or the plumbing?
We will tell you. A cracked tray, faulty valve or leaking waste needs a different trade, and we won’t reseal for the sake of it.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need and you will get one quote.
Is it messy?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
DIY versus a professional 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.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
For landlords and businesses
We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
For anyone letting property in or around Steep Marsh, several properties can go on one quote. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs, and photos by email help.
Steep Marsh homes and their sealant
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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Steep Church of England Voluntary Controlled Primary 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. Rented homes near Petersfield station change hands often, and failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.

The process
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the job takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out in most cases. Somewhere as small as Steep Marsh, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off.
- We treat any mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The right product goes in, with backing where the joint moves.
- The joint is tooled and you’re told about anything else we found.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Advice
Different surfaces, different methods
Worktops & kitchens
A loose worktop splits its sealant. It needs fixing down first, and we will tell you if we find it.
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Mould often spreads under the bead as well as through it. Once it’s all removed, the joint is treated.
