Terriers homes and their sealant
Terriers has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
If you look after a building such as The Royal Grammar School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. Letting a property close to High Wycombe station? Then botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.
Terriers is about 1 mile north-east of High Wycombe, in Buckinghamshire. From the centre of Terriers to the outskirts, remedial sealant is available for homes and businesses alike, from flats and houses to offices and hotels.

Remedial sealant in Terriers
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. We work on expansion joints, failed movement joints and botched or over-sealed joints, and people most often call us about thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles and floor or wall movement joints that have failed.
In and around Terriers, older properties sit alongside newer ones. In older homes, walls and floors can move a little more, so the right flexible sealant matters.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

Common problems we fix in Terriers
Water from somewhere else can ruin a good seal. A leaking valve, a failed waste or cracked grout feeds water behind the bead, so the silicone goes mouldy or lets go.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- Black mould underneath the bead
In the older streets around Church of Saint Francis, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

What affects the quote in Terriers
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- How easy the joints are to reach
- How many areas need sealing
- The number and length of the joints
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- The address or postcode of the job
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- What’s wrong with the joints now
Want a quote for remedial sealant? Please ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details. You’ll know what we plan to do, and what it will cost, before any work begins.
Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
What we can’t put right
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Older mastics that may need an asbestos check before removal
- Water damage behind tiles that needs a tiler
- A tray or worktop that needs refixing first
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think.
What we seal
- Expansion joints
- Failed movement joints
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Why act early in Terriers
A joint that has failed twice will fail again unless the cause is dealt with. Taking time to find the cause, whether it’s movement, a leak or the wrong product, is what stops it happening again. Around Terriers, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first.
Why us?
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- Homes, businesses and hotels
Terriers: your questions answered
Do you take on hotel work around Terriers?
Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
Do you cover smaller places like Terriers?
Yes, Terriers is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Will there be a smell?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
What happens if the problem is the tray or the plumbing?
That’s why we look for the cause first. If we find the leak is elsewhere, we tell you before going further.
What should I tell you?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few pictures.
How long does remedial resealing take?
The number of joints and layers decides it. You’ll have a timescale before any work begins.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
How do I get a quote for remedial sealant in Terriers?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing and where.
Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Run the fan after every shower
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
- Don’t wait for a small gap to become a leak
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
If we’ve found a cause, such as a loose tray or a leaking waste, get it fixed, or the new joint may fail again.
If a joint has failed more than once, stop resealing it. Have someone find out why, or the next bead will go the same way.
The process
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out in most cases. Parking around Terriers is normally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- We protect the surfaces around the joint.
- Every layer of failed sealant is stripped out.
- We clean and degrease the joint and look for signs of movement or water.
- Once dry, a suitable sealant is applied and tooled.
- You get the cure time and our view on why the joint failed.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
