What the job involves on each surface
Leaking trays & enclosures
Where the joints are the problem, every bead is stripped and resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone, including the screen profile and tray edges.
Windows & doors
Frames resealed over the top end up with hard, layered mastic. We remove it all and clean back to sound surfaces.
How we handle remedial sealant in Thorncombe Street
Movement and expansion joints fail when the sealant cannot stretch. The old sealant comes out and backing goes in to control the depth, before resealing with a flexible product suited to the movement. Typical jobs include sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared and products that weren’t meant for the joint, across failed movement joints, leaking tray & enclosure joints and botched or over-sealed joints.
Somewhere as small as Thorncombe Street, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Thorncombe Street and everywhere else we cover.

For landlords and businesses
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Why act early in Thorncombe Street
Stripping out botched sealant adds time to a reseal, but not by much: it takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. Compared with chasing the same leak every few months, it’s time well spent. Older cottages and farmhouses around Thorncombe Street can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Doing several joints on one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We’ll give you a clear quote for the lot.

How it works
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out and we leave things clean and tidy. Somewhere like Thorncombe Street needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We start by checking the joint for movement, leaks and the reason it failed.
- All the old sealant comes out, including any layers underneath.
- We clean the joint, treat any mould and let it dry.
- We use the right backing and sealant for any joint that moves.
- We tool the joint and tell you about anything else that needs attention.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Advice
DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Thorncombe Street: your questions answered
Can you do remedial sealant in Thorncombe Street?
Yes, Thorncombe Street is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
I let a flat near Godalming station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Can you remove sealant that is been put over old sealant?
Yes. We remove every layer; over-sealing fails because silicone won’t bond to silicone.
Is it messy?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Does remedial work come with a guarantee?
Yes. Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Normally, yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours for many products, and we will agree it with you first.
How long will it take to strip and reseal the joint?
Allow a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. We’ll give you a timescale when we quote.
What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what we’re using.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
- Don’t wait for a small gap to become a leak
Keep an eye on the joint at first, particularly where the original failure was caused by movement. If anything changes, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
A split movement joint lets rain into walls and floors, and left long enough, the edges of the joint can crumble. A joint with sound edges is far easier to reseal.

What we can’t put right
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacing)
- A leaking trap, valve or supply pipe
- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Schools such as Godalming College are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. If you let a flat or house near Godalming station, failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.
