How we handle remedial sealant in Sunnymead
A joint that keeps letting you down needs more than another bead. Send pictures when you phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email, and say how long ago it was last done. If you have floor or wall movement joints that have failed and kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop, we can put it right.
Around Sunnymead, you’ll mostly find houses and bungalows, some older and some much newer. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do in a big town.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee.

When to call us in Sunnymead
Even good sealant ages. Over the years it shrinks, hardens and gets colonised by mould, especially in damp, poorly aired rooms. At that point it has to come out.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
- A second bead peeling off the first
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
Rented homes near Oxford Parkway station change hands often, and botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.
What your quote should include
- What the cure time is
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Whether they’re fully insured
Why act early in Sunnymead
DIY removal often leaves scratches and a film of residue, and any film left behind stops new sealant sticking. Careful removal is most of a remedial job. In an older home around Sunnymead, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
What you get with us
- White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows
- Every job guaranteed for a year
- We’re fully insured
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator

Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
- Check ceilings under showers for marks
Where we have pointed out another fault, have it put right, or the new joint may fail again.
Warning signs: sealant lifting at the ends, a second bead visible on top of the first, black mould under the silicone, or stains below a bathroom. Any of them means it’s time for remedial work.
The process
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. For a job in Sunnymead, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- The failure is looked at first, so we know whether it’s sealant, movement or water from elsewhere.
- Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.
- Mould is treated and the joint dried.
- 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 parking restrictions
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
