Wickham Common Remedial Sealant
Remedial sealant across Wickham Common and nearby, with old sealant always removed completely and a one-year guarantee.
- A second bead peeling off the first
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
The process
There’s no need to move everything out, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied in most cases. Somewhere as small as Wickham Common, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- The failure is looked at first, so we know whether it’s sealant, movement or water from elsewhere.
- Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.
- Mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The right product goes in, with backing where the joint moves.
- The joint is tooled and you’re told about anything else we found.
Getting ready for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Advice
Remedial sealant in Wickham Common
Water on the floor does not always mean failed silicone. Cracked trays, leaking wastes and faulty valves often look like a sealant problem. When the fault is elsewhere, we say so instead of resealing for the sake of it. If you are dealing with caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area and beads that never stuck properly, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
For a small place like Wickham 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.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Wickham Common as everywhere else we work.

What the job involves on each surface
Worktops & kitchens
A loose worktop splits its sealant. It needs fixing down first, which we’ll point out.
Leaking trays & enclosures
Where the joints are the problem, every bead is stripped and resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone, including the screen profile and tray edges.
When to call us in Wickham Common
A lot of failed joints have been sealed over rather than replaced. New silicone can’t stick to the old bead, so the new layer peels, and damp and mould settle between them.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A second bead peeling off the first
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Nicholas, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

Wickham Common homes and their sealant
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. Wickham Common 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.
Schools such as Wickham Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. For landlords with property near Fareham station, a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.

Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
- Keep the room well ventilated
If we have found a cause, such as a loose tray or a leaking waste, get it fixed, because the new sealant cannot hold back a problem underneath.
Mould under a second layer of sealant keeps growing out of sight. When it finally shows, the whole bead needs to come out.
Landlord and commercial work in Wickham Common
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can go on one quote.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
