How we handle remedial sealant in Tealing
Remedial jobs in Tealing generally fall into a few patterns: over-sealed joints, hidden mould, repeat leaks and split movement joints. We strip each one back and start from scratch. If you have floor or wall movement joints that have failed and leaks that keep coming back after resealing, we can help.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses. Older buildings can move a little, and that shows first in cracked grout and split sealant.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

How the visit works
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and clear up. Most jobs take a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. For a place like Tealing, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.
- Mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The right product goes in, with backing where the joint moves.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Clear the area around the work

What remedial sealant looks like in Tealing
Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and meet the Repairing Standard, which covers keeping fixtures and fittings in a reasonable state of repair. Tired, leaking sealant is worth putting right before a new tenant moves in. Sandstone tenements are a big part of Dundee’s housing, so a leaking seal can soon reach the neighbours below.
Homes close to Tealing Parish Church And Churchyard include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. Around Tealing, as everywhere, remedial sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.

From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can go on one quote.
Why deal with it now?
DIY removal often leaves scratches and a film of residue, and the residue left behind stops the next bead bonding. Careful stripping is where most of our time goes. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.

Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
Leave the new joint to cure fully before it gets wet or moves: normally around 24 hours, or as long as we advise.
Do not keep resealing the same joint. Have someone find out why, otherwise the next attempt will fail too.
FAQs for Tealing
Is there a guarantee on remedial sealant in Tealing?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Will you come out to Tealing?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
What if the leak is not the sealant?
That’s why we look for the cause first. If the fault is elsewhere, you will know before any work is done.
What do you need from me for a quote?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
Can you remove old sealant without damaging the bath?
Yes. The old bead is cut and lifted with tools that suit the surface, and the residue is cleaned away. We point out any damage that is already there.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.
Is it messy?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Can failed expansion joints be resealed?
Yes. The depth is set with backing so the sealant only bonds to the two sides, which lets it stretch.
