Remedial sealant in Wardhill, done properly
A joint that keeps failing normally has a reason. Movement, the wrong product or a leak from somewhere else will beat any new bead. Finding that cause comes before any new sealant. Common call-outs are for wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones and dark patches showing through the sealant, on failed movement joints, expansion joints and mouldy bath & shower sealant.
Bathrooms in smaller places like Wardhill work just as hard as those in the cities. Limescale is less of a problem with Scotland’s generally soft water, but mould still takes hold in damp sealant and grout.
Every job is covered by our 12-month guarantee.

Do you do commercial work?

The process
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out, and the area is left clean. Somewhere like Wardhill may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- We protect the surfaces around the joint.
- Every layer of failed sealant is stripped out.
- We clean and degrease the joint and look for signs of movement or water.
- New sealant goes in once the joint is dry, and is tooled smooth.
- We give you the cure time and explain what caused the failure.

What remedial sealant looks like in Wardhill
Wardhill is close to the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Scotland’s water is generally soft, so sealant and grout see less limescale than in much of England. But mould still grows into sealant and grout in a room that does not dry out.
Around Wardhill, as everywhere, remedial sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Wardhill is about 15 miles north-east of Kirkwall, in the Orkney Islands. Across the KW17 area, our applicators can take on remedial sealant. Wardhill is one of 51 places in the Orkney Islands where we work for remedial sealant.

When to call us in Wardhill
Silicone only bonds to surfaces that are clean and dry. Residue, moisture or dust left in the joint weaken the bond, and the joint starts to come away early.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Black mould underneath the bead
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
For jobs in and around Wardhill, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.
What to look for in a quote
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- What the cure time is
- How much experience the applicator has
What the job involves on each surface
Worktops & kitchens
If a worktop moves when you lean on it, the sealant will keep splitting. It needs fixing down first, and we’ll tell you if we find it.
Movement & expansion joints
Joints filled with mortar, grout or rigid filler can’t move. Where it can be raked out, we replace it with flexible sealant.
DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Find out why the sealant failed first
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
- Do not wait for a small gap to become a leak
- Never seal over old silicone
Don’t let anyone seal over it later. New silicone doesn’t bond to old, so the old bead should always come out first.
Do not keep resealing the same joint. Get the cause found first, otherwise the next attempt will fail too.
