Remedial sealant in West Marden
Remedial work is what we do when sealant has failed or been done badly. Silicone laid over silicone, smears across tiles, the wrong product in a moving joint or mould trapped underneath all have to come out. If you have sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface and floor or wall movement joints that have failed, we can help.
For a small place like West Marden, remedial sealant is planned like any other job: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Once we are there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

What we are called out for in West Marden
Joint depth matters. Sealant packed too deep, or stuck to the back of the joint as well as the sides, can’t stretch, and tears at the first real movement. Backing sets the depth and stops that.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
- A second bead peeling off the first
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
Letting a property close to Rowlands Castle station? Then failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.
Questions to ask before booking
- Are they insured?
- Is VAT in the price?
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- How much experience the applicator has
West Marden questions
Can you do remedial sealant in West Marden?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and West Marden is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Is West Marden within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can tenants book the work?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure your landlord agrees.
What sealant do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
What does remedial sealant cost?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Call for a quick quote.
What happens if the problem is the tray or the plumbing?
In that case, we tell you what we have found. A plumber or fitter may be needed before any new sealant goes on.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do. We can talk about working times when we quote.
Will it make a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and we clear up when we’re done.
What happens if it’s left?
Stripping out botched sealant adds time to a reseal, but not by much: the work takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. It’s far less disruption than resealing the same joint again and again. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like West Marden, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.

Remedial sealant in West Marden: local notes
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 Compton and Up Marden CofE 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. For an older house near a landmark such as The Parish Church of St Mary, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- Surrounding tiles, trays and frames are protected first.
- The botched or failed sealant is cut away completely.

What sealant work can’t fix
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Failed tanking or loose tiles behind the sealant
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
- Movement from fittings that are not supported
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Expansion joints
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Failed movement joints
Surface by surface
Movement & expansion joints
Some movement joints have been filled with mortar or grout. Where it can be raked out, we replace it with flexible sealant.
Leaking trays & enclosures
A cracked tray, failed valve or leaking waste needs a different fix. We say so rather than reseal.
Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
- Run the fan after every shower
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
Do not let anyone seal over it later. New silicone does not bond to old, so the old bead should always come out first.
Signs to act on: sealant lifting at the ends, a second bead visible on top of the first, black mould under the silicone, or stains below a bathroom. Each one is worth getting looked at.
