Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Wooden Hill
Movement and expansion joints fail when the sealant cannot stretch. The old sealant comes out and backing goes in to control the depth, before resealing with a flexible product suited to the movement. If you have worktop sealant that has shrunk and split and sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared, we can help, on expansion joints, botched or over-sealed joints and leaking tray & enclosure joints alike.
Around Wooden Hill, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats. The work is the same as anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
- Run the fan after every shower
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
Clean gently: no scraping, scouring pads or harsh chemicals.
A split movement joint lets rain into walls and floors, and left long enough, the edges of the joint can crumble. A joint with sound edges is far easier to reseal.

Wooden Hill: your questions answered
Is it worth replacing old sealant in an older home in Wooden Hill?
In most cases, yes, if it hasn’t been done for a while. Sealant is a maintenance item: how long it lasts depends on use, cleaning and exposure.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Bracknell station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
What if the leak is not the sealant?
In that case, we tell you what we’ve found. A plumber or fitter may be needed before any new sealant goes on.
Someone sealed over the old bead. Can you fix it?
Yes. We cut out all the layers and clean off the film, before resealing with a single bead.
Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured.
How it works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The job generally takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out, including the tidy-up. In a small place like Wooden Hill, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- 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.
- Next, any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We use the right backing and sealant for any joint that moves.
- The new joint is tooled neatly and we explain anything else we found.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Advice
What remedial sealant looks like in Wooden Hill
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in. Bracknell, which Wooden Hill is part of, is one of England’s post-war new towns. Many homes date from the post-war decades, so bathrooms and kitchens may be on their second or third set of sealant. Sealant laid over old sealant never bonds properly, so it all has to come out.
Schools such as Wooden Hill Primary and Nursery 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 Bracknell station, failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak. In the older streets around St Michael and St Mary Magdalene's Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

Why act early in Wooden Hill
Remedial work takes longer than a straight reseal, but not by much: it 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. Around Wooden Hill, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

How the job changes by surface
Windows & doors
Some leaks around windows come from the wall or the window itself. If the frame joint is not the cause, we will say so.
Over-sealed & botched joints
A thick bead smeared across tiles often hides mould or gaps. Taking it back shows what’s underneath.
What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A tray or bath that is cracked
- Water damage behind tiles that needs a tiler
