About our remedial sealant in Wigginton
Movement and expansion joints fail when the sealant cannot stretch. We cut out the failed sealant and set the depth with backing, then a flexible sealant matched to the movement goes in. We work on failed movement joints, leaking tray & enclosure joints and mouldy bath & shower sealant, and the jobs we see most are products that weren’t meant for the joint and leaks that keep coming back after resealing.
Somewhere as small as Wigginton, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep the room well ventilated
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
- Check trays and worktops do not move
- Deal with small splits early
Give the new sealant its full cure time: follow the cure time we give you.
Leaks through failed sealant grow over time. Each use pushes more water behind the bead, into floors, walls or ceilings. Early action keeps it to a sealant job.
Common questions in Wigginton
Do you cover Wigginton for remedial sealant?
Yes, Wigginton is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Is remedial sealant in Wigginton guaranteed?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Will there be a smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties at once, and between tenancies is a good time for the work.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Are you insured?
Yes, we are fully insured for every job we do.
Someone sealed over the old bead. Can you fix it?
Yes. It’s slower than a standard reseal, because every layer has to come out cleanly, but it’s the only way the new joint will last.
Is it worth trying it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
How it works
You do not need to clear the whole room or building before we come, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out for a typical job. Somewhere as small as Wigginton, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by checking the joint for movement, leaks and the reason it failed.
- All the old sealant comes out, including any layers underneath.
- Next, any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- Where the joint moves, backing and a flexible sealant suited to the movement go in.
- Finally we finish the joint and talk you through what we found.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

What sealant work cannot fix
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we will tell you before any work starts. It won’t solve:
- A tray or worktop that needs refixing first
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Expansion joints

Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.

Common problems we fix in Wigginton
One of the commonest remedial jobs is sealant on top of sealant. Silicone doesn’t bond to silicone, so the new layer peels, and damp and mould settle between them.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
- Black mould underneath the bead
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
Homes close to Church of Saint Giles include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

How we quote for remedial sealant
Call for a quick quote. The main things that affect it are:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- When we can work, for business premises
- Whether the work is at height
- The product the joint needs
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Roughly how big the job is
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- What’s wrong with the joints now
Every job is quoted individually, so start by telling us what you need. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details, and pictures are welcome.
Should I try it myself first?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Why deal with it now?
Spraying mould remover on a sealed-over joint doesn’t reach what’s underneath. The layers have to come out, so the joint can be treated and resealed. In a small place like Wigginton, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: 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’ll go through it with you.
