Remedial sealant & repairs in Streatley, Oxfordshire
Remedial sealant across Streatley and nearby, with old sealant always removed completely and a 12-month guarantee.
- Beads that never stuck properly

- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
How we handle remedial sealant in Streatley
A movement joint stops working when its sealant splits or sets hard. We cut out the failed sealant and set the depth with backing, before resealing with a flexible product suited to the movement. If you are dealing with decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower and gaps opening along the back of the worktop, we can help, on expansion joints, mouldy bath & shower sealant and failed movement joints alike.
Around Streatley, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. The work is the same as anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

When it is not the sealant
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Failed tanking or loose tiles behind the sealant
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacing)
- A bath, tray or worktop that moves until it’s properly fixed
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think before you book.

Signs you need remedial sealant in Streatley
Using the wrong product is a common cause: caulk where it gets wet, rigid sealant where things move, or an acetoxy silicone on a surface it can mark. Each fails in its own way.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
For landlords with property near Goring & Streatley station, a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.
What your quote should include
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Whether VAT is included
- What insurance they hold
What happens if it’s left?
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 Streatley can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins, so you know where you stand.

Questions from Streatley
Do you take on hotel work around Streatley?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. Rooms can be done a few at a time, so the building stays open.
I let a flat near Goring & Streatley station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
What do you put in the joint?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Do you cover Streatley?
Yes. We work in Streatley and the rest of Oxfordshire, as part of our work across South East England, London and Scotland. For a quote, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status.
What happens if the problem is the tray or the plumbing?
We will tell you. If it’s a cracked tray, a failed valve or a leaking waste, resealing won’t fix it, so we won’t pretend it will.
Can you match the sealant colour?
In most cases you can choose. We will tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before we start.
Remedial sealant around Streatley
There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Streatley. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
In the older streets around Church of St Mary, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Streatley C.E. Voluntary Controlled School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
- Don’t point over movement joints
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
If the joint ever needs renewing, have it cut out, not sealed over. New silicone doesn’t bond to old.
Mould under a second layer of sealant keeps growing out of sight. By the time it shows through, the joint is well past saving.
What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The visit itself normally takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied, depending on the amount of work. Somewhere like Streatley needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- Surrounding tiles, trays and frames are protected first.
- Every layer of failed sealant is stripped out.
- We clean and degrease the joint and look for signs of movement or water.
- New sealant goes in once the joint is dry, and is tooled smooth.
- We give you the cure time and explain what caused the failure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

How the job changes by surface
Windows & doors
Failed frame mastic is often hard, cracked and in several layers. All of it is cut out and the frame and wall cleaned before backing and resealing.
Over-sealed & botched joints
A botched joint can hide two or three layers of sealant, and silicone residue is cleaned off the tiles too. New sealant needs a fully clean surface.
