How we handle remedial sealant in Titchfield Common
Getting old sealant out properly is slow, careful work. Every layer is cut out, the residue cleaned off and the joint degreased, taking care not to scratch the surfaces around it. Only then can new sealant bond. Typical jobs include decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower and a second bead peeling off the first, across leaking tray & enclosure joints, expansion joints and botched or over-sealed joints.
Homes around Titchfield Common range from older cottages to more recent houses. Older homes can move a little with the seasons, which is hard on tired sealant and rigid grout.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
How it works
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out in most cases. Parking around Titchfield Common is usually easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off.
- We treat any mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The right product goes in, with backing where the joint moves.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
How to prepare
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Advice
Titchfield Common homes and their sealant
Titchfield Common is close to the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Rented homes near Swanwick station change hands often, and botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants. Homes close to St John include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. If you look after a building such as St John the Baptist Church of England Primary School, 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.

What else we do in Titchfield Common
Why act early in Titchfield Common
Adding more sealant is the usual quick fix, and it rarely works. It doesn’t grip the old layer, leaving the leak in place and one more layer to cut out later. In a smaller place like Titchfield Common, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear price before work begins.

What the job involves on each surface
Movement & expansion joints
A sealant stuck to the back of the joint cannot stretch. Backing rod or bond-breaker tape prevents it, so the sealant grips the two sides only.
Windows & doors
Some leaks around windows come from the wall or the window itself. We check the joint and tell you if it looks to be something else.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
- Do not wait for a small gap to become a leak
- Do not add new sealant on top of old
Don’t let anyone seal over it later. New silicone does not bond to old, so the old bead should always come out first.
Signs to act on: peeling layers, mould showing through the bead, leaks after showering or cracks in a movement joint. Each one is worth getting looked at.
