Landlords and agents in Swanwick can book us as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
About our remedial sealant in Swanwick
If a joint has been resealed and is leaking again, it’s worth a proper look. Send photos when you phone 0345 464 0079 or email us. We are often asked to deal with caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area and smears and lumps from a botched reseal, across botched or over-sealed joints, failed movement joints and expansion joints.
Around Swanwick, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. The work is the same as anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Swanwick as everywhere else we work.

Swanwick questions
Will you come out to Swanwick?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
I let a flat near Bursledon station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is usually more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Can you strip sealant from an acrylic tray safely?
Yes, with care. We cut and lift the old sealant with tools suited to the surface, then clean off the residue. We point out any damage that’s already there.
Can you take off two layers of silicone?
Yes. We remove every layer; new silicone does not bond to old silicone, which is why over-sealing fails.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
In most cases you can choose. We will explain which colours are available.
Different surfaces, different methods
Over-sealed & botched joints
Previous removal attempts can leave scratches or gouges. We take care not to make it worse, and tell you about any damage we find.
Worktops & kitchens
Old kitchen sealant pulls back from the wall over time. We strip it, degrease the joint and reseal colour-matched to the worktop.
When something else is needed
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- A tray or bath that’s cracked
- Failed tanking or loose tiles behind the sealant
- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Failed movement joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Expansion joints
How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
Watch the joint over the first few weeks, particularly where the original failure was caused by movement. Should anything change, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Warning signs: peeling layers, mould showing through the bead, leaks after showering or cracks in a movement joint. Each one is worth getting looked at.

What remedial sealant looks like in Swanwick
Swanwick is close to the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
Rented homes near Bursledon station change hands often, and botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants. In the older streets around Church of St Paul, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
Swanwick is about 2 miles south of Hedge End, in Hampshire. From the centre of Swanwick to the outskirts, remedial sealant is available for homes and businesses alike. Our area takes in 683 places across Hampshire, from the larger towns to small villages.
We work across SO31 and PO15 for remedial sealant and the streets around it. If you need remedial sealant at a property on Walpole Lane, Ashby Mews and Swanwick Lane or a nearby road, our applicators can take on the job. We also cover the places around Swanwick: Lower Swanwick (1 mile north-west), Sarisbury (1 mile south-east), Park Gate (1 mile south-east), Burridge (1 mile north-east) and Sarisbury Green (1 mile south).

Local landmarks in Swanwick
Locally, jobs take us to homes and businesses close to The Old Ship Inn and Brookfield Community School and Language College. The closest station to Swanwick is Bursledon station, roughly 0.8 miles west of the centre.

What we are called out for in Swanwick
Some joints fail because water is reaching them from behind. A slow leak behind the tiles soaks the joint from the back, and the sealant lifts or goes mouldy from underneath.
People generally contact us after spotting something like this:
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
- A second bead peeling off the first
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Sarisbury Church of England Junior School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
Before booking anyone
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself usually takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out, depending on the amount of work. In a small place like Swanwick, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off.
- Mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- The joint is tooled and you’re told about anything else we found.
How to prepare
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about parking restrictions

DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
