Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Upper Chute
In Upper Chute, as anywhere, remedial jobs tend to look alike: sealant over sealant, mould under the bead, leaks that come back and movement joints that have split. We strip each one back and start from scratch. If you have a shower that leaks however often it’s resealed and a second bead peeling off the first, we can help, on expansion joints, leaking tray & enclosure joints and failed movement joints alike.
Around Upper Chute, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats. The work is the same as anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

What we cannot put right
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before any work starts. Sealant will not put right:
- Water damage behind tiles that needs a tiler
- Cracks in the fitting rather than the joint
- A tray or worktop that needs refixing first
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Common problems we fix in Upper Chute
How a joint is built matters as much as the product. Sealant packed too deep, or stuck to the back of the joint as well as the sides, cannot stretch, and tears at the first real movement. Backing rod or bond-breaker tape prevents it.
Look out for these signs:
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
- A second bead peeling off the first
Around Upper Chute, as everywhere, remedial sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Remedial sealant in Upper Chute: local notes
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 live in an older home near Church of St Nicholas, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

What happens on the day
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. The work normally takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. In a small place like Upper Chute, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off.
- Mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The right product goes in, with backing where the joint moves.
- The joint is tooled and you’re told about anything else we found.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Tell us about any water getting in

Related advice
What the job involves on each surface
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Mould that has grown into silicone doesn’t clean out for good. The sealant is cut out completely, the joint treated with a mould remover and dried before anti-fungal sanitary silicone goes in.
Worktops & kitchens
Shrunken worktop sealant leaves a gap that lets water into the back edge. It’s cut out, degreased and resealed colour-matched to the worktop.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Never seal over old silicone
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
- Keep the room well ventilated
- Don’t wait for a small gap to become a leak
Leave the new joint to cure fully before it gets wet or moves: generally around 24 hours, or as long as we advise.
Do not keep resealing the same joint. Have someone find out why, or the next bead will go the same way.
