How we handle remedial sealant in West Ilsley
If a joint has been resealed and is leaking again, it’s worth a proper look. It helps to have pictures when you phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email, and say how long ago it was last done. Typical jobs include black mould underneath the bead and wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones, on failed movement joints, mouldy bath & shower sealant and botched or over-sealed joints.
In a village or hamlet like West Ilsley, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

West Ilsley: your questions answered
Do you cover West Ilsley for remedial sealant?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and West Ilsley is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in West Ilsley?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we’ve been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Where do you work from?
We’re based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Can you reseal a split movement joint?
Yes. The depth is set with backing so the sealant only bonds to the two sides, which lets it stretch.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits. The product needed can limit the range.
Do I have to be there?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, and for outside work we will agree access with you when we book.
Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Surface by surface
Windows & doors
A frame that keeps leaking may not be the mastic. We check the joint and tell you if it looks to be something else.
Movement & expansion joints
Bonding on three sides is a common reason movement joints tear. Backing rod or bond-breaker tape prevents it, letting the sealant flex between the two faces.
Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Do not point over movement joints
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
- Don’t wait for a small gap to become a leak
Where we have pointed out another fault, have it put right, or the new joint may fail again.
Mould trapped under over-sealed joints spreads unseen. By the time it shows through, the joint is well past saving.
When to call us in West Ilsley
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.
The problems people normally mention when they call include:
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
In and around West Ilsley, as anywhere, good remedial sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Questions to ask before you book
- How long to leave it before use
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Who turns up on the day
- What product goes in the joint
When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
- Movement from fittings that aren’t supported
- A leaking trap, valve or supply pipe
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Can I do it myself?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
What remedial sealant looks like in West Ilsley
West Ilsley has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room. Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
In the older streets around Church of All Saints, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

How the visit works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in.

If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- 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.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Tell us if parking is tricky
