Common questions in Trash Green
Is Trash Green in your area for remedial sealant?
Yes, Trash Green is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Do you cover smaller places like Trash Green?
Yes. Trash Green is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you take off two layers of silicone?
Yes. We remove every layer; new silicone does not bond to old silicone, which is why over-sealing fails.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We’ve worked for hotels, offices and other businesses, and we are fully insured.
What happens if the problem is the tray or the plumbing?
You will hear it from us. If it’s a cracked tray, a failed valve or a leaking waste, resealing will not fix it, so we will not pretend it will.
How long does remedial resealing take?
It takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. You’ll know the timing when we quote.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Is there any odour?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Opening a window helps.

What we are called out for in Trash Green
A lot of failed joints have been sealed over rather than replaced. New silicone can’t stick to the old bead, so the top layer lifts and water and mould collect between the two.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
Letting a property close to Theale station? Then failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.
Questions to ask before booking
- How long the guarantee is
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are

What remedial sealant looks like in Trash Green
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
Homes close to Church of St Mary the Virgin include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. Schools such as Burghfield St Mary's C.E. Primary School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
Trash Green is about 4 miles south-west of Reading, in Reading. Trash Green gets the same service as everywhere we cover: the old material taken out, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee. Trash Green is one of 34 towns and villages in Reading where we work.
Every address in RG30 is covered for remedial sealant, from the main roads to the quietest streets. Whether your property is on Bennett's Hill and Theale Road or anywhere close by, we can help. Neighbouring places we cover for remedial sealant include Burghfield (1 mile south), Sheffield Bottom (1 mile north-west), Burghfield Hill (1 mile south), Sulhamstead Bannister Upper End (1 mile west) and Sulhamstead Abbots (1 mile south-west). Larger places within reach include Caversham (6 miles north-east), Norcot (3 miles north-east), West Reading (4 miles north-east), Tilehurst Within (3 miles north), Shinfield (5 miles east) and Arborfield Garrison (7 miles east).
Local landmarks in Trash Green
Typical jobs here are in homes near Fox & Hounds pub and The Willink School. For rail, the closest station is Theale station, about 1.4 miles north-west. Nearby you will also find Thames Valley Police Museum (1 mile west) and Battle Hospital (3.8 miles north-east). The countryside around Trash Green includes Hosehill Lake and Fobney Island Wetland Reserve.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Do not wait for a small gap to become a leak
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
- Keep the room well ventilated
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
Where we’ve pointed out another fault, have it put right, or the new joint may fail again.
Leaks through failed sealant grow over time. Every shower or downpour sends more water through, into floors, walls or ceilings. Sorting it early limits the damage.
For landlords and businesses
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. We can quote for more than one property at once.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
What we cannot put right
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
- A leaking trap, valve or supply pipe
- Failed tanking or loose tiles behind the sealant
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Failed movement joints
- Expansion joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Botched or over-sealed joints
DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
How the visit works
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, carry out the job and clear up. It normally takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. In a small place like Trash Green, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We protect the surfaces around the joint.
- Every layer of failed sealant is stripped out.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

What the job involves on each surface
Worktops & kitchens
Kitchen joints often have grease and cleaning residue deep in them, so cleaning takes longer than in a bathroom.
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Mould that has grown into silicone doesn’t clean out for good. All of it comes out, and the joint is treated and dried before anti-fungal sanitary silicone goes in.
