Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Temple Park
Movement and expansion joints fail when the sealant cannot stretch. The old sealant comes out and backing goes in to control the depth, then a flexible sealant matched to the movement goes in. We are often asked to deal with thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles and kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop, across shrunken worktop sealant, failed movement joints and botched or over-sealed joints.
In and around Temple Park, older properties sit alongside newer ones. In older homes, walls and floors can move a little more, so the right flexible sealant matters.
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee.

When it isn’t the sealant
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- A tray or bath that is cracked
- Older mastics that may need an asbestos check before removal
- A tray or worktop that needs refixing first
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Expansion joints
- Failed movement joints
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
Why deal with it now?
Adding more sealant is the usual quick fix, and it rarely works. It cannot bond to what’s underneath, leaving the leak in place and one more layer to cut out later. Around Temple Park, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before we start.

DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Questions from Temple Park
Do you work for landlords with property near Bracknell station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders, and several properties can go on one quote. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Is it worth replacing old sealant in an older home in Temple Park?
Often, yes: cracked, shrunken or mouldy sealant has done its job. New sealant will not stick to old, so the old bead has to come out completely first.
Do I have to be there?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What do you put in the joint?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will tell you what we’re using.
Can old silicone be taken off without scratching the tiles?
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’s already there.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we’ve been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Is remedial work guaranteed?
Yes. Our 12-month guarantee covers the work, and we’re ARBOMaster approved.
How much does remedial sealant cost in Temple Park?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You will get a clear quote before work begins.
The process
All our tools and materials come with us in the van. Once we have agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. In a smaller place like Temple Park, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- We protect the surfaces around the joint.
- The botched or failed sealant is cut away completely.
- The joint is degreased and checked for movement and leaks.
- Once dry, a suitable sealant is applied and tooled.
- You get the cure time and our view on why the joint failed.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Clear the area around the work

Temple Park homes and their sealant
There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Temple Park. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room. Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
Letting a property close to Bracknell station? Then a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty. In the older streets around St Andrew, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Common problems we fix in Temple Park
Joint depth matters. A bead bonded on three sides, or laid too thick, can’t flex, so it tears when the joint moves. Backing sets the depth and stops that.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
Managing a site like Meadow Vale Primary School? Then washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.

How we quote for remedial sealant
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Access and height
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The number and length of the joints
Doing several joints on one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits. We will give you a clear price for the lot.
What to tell us for a quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- If someone has resealed it before
- Where the property is
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email photos if that is easy.
How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
- Keep the room well ventilated
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
- Don’t point over movement joints
Clean gently: no scraping, scouring pads or harsh chemicals.
Don’t keep resealing the same joint. Have someone find out why, otherwise the next attempt will fail too.
