- Repeat leaks from the same joint
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Steeple Claydon
A joint that keeps failing generally has a reason. A tray that moves, a worktop that is not fixed, the wrong sealant or water getting in elsewhere will beat any new bead. We look for the cause before we reseal. We are often asked to deal with a second bead peeling off the first and worktop sealant that has shrunk and split, across mouldy bath & shower sealant, expansion joints and shrunken worktop sealant.
In a smaller place like Steeple Claydon, homes are mostly houses and bungalows rather than flats, some older and some much newer. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do in a big town.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

Remedial sealant in Steeple Claydon: local notes
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.
Schools such as Steeple Claydon School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Do you need remedial sealant in Steeple Claydon?
One of the commonest remedial jobs is sealant on top of sealant. Silicone does not bond to silicone, so the new layer peels, and damp and mould settle between them.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
Homes close to Church of St Michael include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

How the job changes by surface
Windows & doors
Failed frame mastic is often hard, cracked and in several layers. We remove it all and clean back to sound surfaces before backing and resealing.
Worktops & kitchens
Shrunken worktop sealant leaves a gap that lets water into the back edge. We strip it, degrease the joint and reseal in a colour to suit.
What we can’t put right
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- A tray or bath that is cracked
- Water damage behind tiles that needs a tiler
- Plumbing leaks behind walls or under trays
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Expansion joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Failed movement joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Why act early in Steeple Claydon
Hidden water does the most damage: soaked floorboards, ceiling stains below and blown plaster. Dealing with the joint now is a small job by comparison. In an older home around Steeple Claydon, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.
Why Steeple Claydon customers choose us
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- Every job guaranteed for a year
- Sealant colour chosen to suit
- 20+ years of sealant experience
How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
- Act on a lifting corner right away
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
- Keep the room well ventilated
Watch the joint over the first few weeks, particularly where the original failure was caused by movement. If anything changes, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
A split movement joint lets rain into walls and floors, and the longer it’s left, the more the joint edges break down. Resealing while the edges are sound is simpler.
How it works
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. In a smaller place like Steeple Claydon, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- 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.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
