Why deal with it now?
It’s easy to scratch acrylic, enamel or an uPVC frame cutting out old sealant, and any film left behind stops new sealant sticking. Careful removal is most of a remedial job. Around Upper Street, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before work begins, so you know where you stand.
Why us?
- Old sealant always removed completely
- Tidy, careful work
- White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels

What remedial sealant looks like in Upper Street
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Breamore 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.

Signs you need remedial sealant in Upper Street
Sealant needs a clean, dry surface with no grease on it. Soap film, dust, damp or old residue stop it gripping, and the joint starts to come away early.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
- A second bead peeling off the first
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
Before you book anyone
- When the joint can take water or movement
- What product goes in the joint
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Don’t point over movement joints
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
- Clean sealant with mild products only
Keep the room ventilated: use the extractor or open a window after showering.
Mould under a second layer of sealant keeps growing out of sight. By the time it shows through, the joint is well past saving.

What happens on the day
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and clear up. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. For a village or hamlet like Upper Street, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We protect the surfaces around the joint.
- The botched or failed sealant is cut away completely.
- We clean and degrease the joint and look for signs of movement or water.
- Once dry, a suitable sealant is applied and tooled.
- We give you the cure time and explain what caused the failure.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Mention any tricky access

Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, we can. More than one area can be quoted together.
What do you put in the joint?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we’ll tell you what we are using.
Can you remove sealant that’s been put over old sealant?
Yes. We remove every layer; new silicone doesn’t bond to old silicone, which is why over-sealing fails.
Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Surface by surface
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Black mould inside the bead will not scrub out. All of it comes out, and the joint is treated and dried before anti-fungal sanitary silicone goes in.
Movement & expansion joints
Some movement joints have been filled with mortar or grout. We rake that out where it can be removed and seal with a flexible product.
