Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Swalcliffe
The wrong product in the wrong joint fails however neatly it’s applied. We take it out and use a sealant made for that joint. If you have repeat leaks from the same joint and mould trapped under a layer of silicone, we can help, on expansion joints, botched or over-sealed joints and failed movement joints alike.
In a village or hamlet like Swalcliffe, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
- Keep the room well ventilated
Give the new sealant its full cure time: usually around 24 hours, or as long as we advise.
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. Each one is worth getting looked at.
What happens if it’s left?
Adding more sealant is the usual quick fix, and it rarely works. It can’t bond to what’s underneath, so the leak carries on and there’s now more to remove. Around Swalcliffe, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot 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. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

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.

Over-sealed & botched joints
Every layer has to come out, including the smears and film on surrounding tiles. Only a clean joint will take a new bead.
Worktops & kitchens
A loose worktop splits its sealant. That needs refixing before resealing, which we will point out.
Common questions in Swalcliffe
What guarantee comes with remedial sealant in Swalcliffe?
All our work, in Swalcliffe and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Will you come out to Swalcliffe?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What if resealing will not fix my leak?
We will tell you. If it’s a cracked tray, a failed valve or a leaking waste, resealing will not fix it, and we won’t reseal for the sake of it.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Will there be a smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Opening a window helps.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need and you’ll get one quote.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Can old silicone be taken off without scratching the tiles?
Yes. We cut and lift the old sealant with tools suited to the surface, then clean off the residue. We point out any damage that is already there.
Do you need remedial sealant in Swalcliffe?
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.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
- Over-sealed joints coming away
If you live in an older home near Church of St Peter and St Paul, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

How it works
Once we’re on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. In a small place like Swalcliffe, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Surrounding tiles, trays and frames are protected first.
- The botched or failed sealant is cut away completely.
- We clean and degrease the joint and look for signs of movement or water.
- Once dry, a suitable sealant is applied and tooled.
- We give you the cure time and explain what caused the failure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Move anything stored near the joints
