How we handle remedial sealant in Upper Common
Some sealant jobs are not a simple reseal, because someone has already had a go. Silicone laid over silicone, smears across tiles, the wrong product in a moving joint or mould trapped underneath all have to come out before the joint can be done properly. We’re often asked to deal with movement joints that have split or pulled away and kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop, on expansion joints, shrunken worktop sealant and leaking tray & enclosure joints.
For a small place like Upper Common, remedial sealant is planned like any other job: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

Different surfaces, different methods
Windows & doors
Smeared or badly matched mastic can be cut out and redone neatly, in a colour that suits the frame.
Over-sealed & botched joints
Botched joints sometimes have damaged edges from earlier scraping. We work carefully to avoid adding to it, and point out any existing damage.
Should I try it myself first?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
If you’re 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 fails, we can still redo it.
How the visit works
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. Somewhere as small as Upper Common, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We look at how the sealant has failed and check for movement or a leak path.
- We strip the joint completely, removing any layers below.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

FAQs for Upper Common
Will you come out to Upper Common?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you work for landlords with property near Basingstoke station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do, as well as homes. We can talk about working times when we quote.
Someone sealed over the old bead. Can you fix it?
Yes. Stripping layered sealant takes longer than a normal reseal, but it’s what makes the new bead last.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and you will get one quote.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Can you remove old sealant without damaging the bath?
Yes. We avoid heavy scraping and use the right cleaner for each surface.
Why deal with it now?
Mould under a bead cannot be reached by cleaning. Removal is the only way to get at it. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Upper Common, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
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. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Upper Common
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.
For landlords with property near Basingstoke station, a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty. If you live in an older home near Church of St. Martin, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Find out why the sealant failed first
- Keep the room well ventilated
- Don’t point over movement joints
- Don’t wait for a small gap to become a leak
Keep the room ventilated: use the extractor or open a window after showering.
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.
