How we handle remedial sealant in Throwley Forstal
A movement joint stops working when its sealant splits or sets hard. The old sealant comes out and backing goes in to control the depth, then a flexible sealant matched to the movement goes in. If you are dealing with leaks that keep coming back after resealing and thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles, we can help.
In a village or hamlet like Throwley Forstal, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Do you need remedial sealant in Throwley Forstal?
Some joints fail because water is reaching them from behind. A leaking valve, a failed waste or cracked grout feeds water behind the bead, and the sealant lifts or goes mouldy from underneath.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
If you let a flat or house near Selling station, failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.
What your quote should include
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- How long to leave it before use
- Whether they’re fully insured

FAQs for Throwley Forstal
Do you work for landlords with property near Selling station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Is Throwley Forstal in your area for remedial sealant?
Yes, Throwley Forstal 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.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Can failed expansion joints be resealed?
Yes. If a joint has been filled with mortar or rigid filler, we rake it out where possible, then the joint is sealed properly.
Is remedial work guaranteed?
Yes. Remedial work carries the same 12-month guarantee as all our work.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes, regularly. We can plan bigger jobs in stages.
What happens if the problem is the tray or the plumbing?
We’ll tell you. A cracked tray, faulty valve or leaking waste needs a different trade, and we will not reseal for the sake of it.
Will it make a mess?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
What affects the cost of remedial sealant
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- Whether the work is at height
- The amount of work
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The type of sealant required
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- Roughly how big the job is
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that’s easier. Describe what needs sealing and we’ll explain what’s involved.
Remedial sealant around Throwley Forstal
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.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Michael and All Angels, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

Why deal with it now?
Leaks that are left keep doing damage out of sight: wet floors, stained ceilings and swollen worktops. By comparison, sorting the joint is quick. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Throwley Forstal, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Why us?
