- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
- Black mould underneath the bead
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
Common problems we fix in Stockcross
Sealant needs a clean, dry surface with no grease on it. Residue, moisture or dust left in the joint weaken the bond, so it starts lifting sooner than it should.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Beads that never stuck properly
- Black mould underneath the bead
- Torn expansion joints
- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
Homes close to Church of St John include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
Questions to ask before you book
- Who turns up on the day
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether they’re fully insured

Why it’s worth doing now in Stockcross
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 a small place like Stockcross, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again.
Different surfaces, different methods
Windows & doors
Wrong-coloured or messy mastic can be replaced for appearance too, in a colour that suits the frame.
Leaking trays & enclosures
Repeat shower leaks often come from a tray that flexes or an enclosure sealed in the wrong place. Both are checked before we reseal.
