The process
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can carry on as normal.

- We look at how the sealant has failed and check for movement or a leak path.
- We strip the joint completely, removing any layers below.
- The joint is cleaned, treated for mould and left to dry.
- We use the right backing and sealant for any joint that moves.
- We tool the joint and tell you about anything else that needs attention.

Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Wokingham
A movement joint stops working when its sealant splits or sets hard. We cut out the failed sealant and set the depth with backing, then a flexible sealant matched to the movement goes in. Typical jobs include caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area and a shower that leaks however often it’s resealed, across failed movement joints, mouldy bath & shower sealant and botched or over-sealed joints.
Wokingham is big enough to have housing from every era, from older terraces to town-centre flats and newer developments. Bathrooms and kitchens in all of them need their sealant and grout renewing sooner or later.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too. Several sites can go on one quote, and we’re fully insured.
Why act early in Wokingham
Another bead over the top will not fix a failed joint. It cannot bond to what’s underneath, so the leak carries on and there’s now more to remove. For businesses in Wokingham, a room closed because of a leak or mould costs more than the sealant, so it pays to replace failing joints before they get that far.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll talk you through it.

How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
- Do not add new sealant on top of old
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
Clean gently: a mild cleaner and a soft cloth, with no blades or scourers.
Warning signs: 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.
Common problems we fix in Wokingham
Some joints fail because water is reaching them from behind. A leaking valve, a failed waste or cracked grout feeds water behind the bead, so the silicone goes mouldy or lets go.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
For landlords with property near Wokingham station, a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.

What affects the cost of remedial sealant
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The type of sealant required
- When we can work, for business premises
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Helping us quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking

- How we’d reach the joints
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel

What remedial sealant looks like in Wokingham
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Wokingham. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room.
In the older streets around Church of St Paul, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. Managing a site like Walter Infant School? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
