- Movement from fittings that aren’t supported
- Plumbing leaks behind walls or under trays

About our remedial sealant in Woodside
A movement joint stops working when its sealant splits or sets hard. The old sealant comes out and backing goes in to control the depth, then a flexible sealant matched to the movement goes in. We work on mouldy bath & shower sealant, botched or over-sealed joints and leaking tray & enclosure joints, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps opening along the back of the worktop and wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones.
Homes around Woodside range from older cottages to more recent houses. In older homes, walls and floors can move a little more, so the right flexible sealant matters.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Woodside and everywhere else we cover.

Woodside questions
Is Woodside within the area you cover?
Yes. Woodside is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Garston station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can go on one quote. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We will tell you how long to leave the joint.
How much does remedial sealant cost in Woodside?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You’ll get a clear quote before any work starts.
What happens if the problem is the tray or the plumbing?
In that case, we tell you what we’ve found. A plumber or fitter may be needed before any new sealant goes on.
Is remedial work guaranteed?
Yes. Remedial work carries the same 12-month guarantee as all our work.
Is it worth trying it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
Do you fix expansion and movement joints?
Yes. If a joint has been filled with mortar or rigid filler, we rake it out where possible, and reseal with a flexible product.

What we’re called out for in Woodside
Movement tears sealant that isn’t designed for it. Flexing baths, rocking trays and building movement joints split any bead that is too stiff or too thin.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
- Torn expansion joints
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
If you look after a building such as Alban Wood Primary School and Nursery, 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.

What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The visit itself usually takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied, depending on the size of the job. Parking around Woodside is normally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- First we find out how and where the joint has failed.
- Every layer of old sealant is cut and cleaned out.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
How to get a quote
Asking for a quote is easy: tell us what needs doing and where and its rough size. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand, and we’ll come back to you with a quote.
Related advice
Why act early in Woodside
Hidden water does the most damage: soaked floorboards, ceiling stains below and blown plaster. By comparison, sorting the joint is quick. In an older home around Woodside, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first and give you a clear quote before we start.
Why book with us
- You choose the colour before work begins
- We never seal over old sealant
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- One-year guarantee on every job
Different surfaces, different methods
Worktops & kitchens
If a worktop moves when you lean on it, the sealant will keep splitting. It needs fixing down first, and we will tell you if we find it.
Windows & doors
Failed frame mastic is often hard, cracked and in several layers. We remove it all and clean back to sound surfaces.
What remedial sealant looks like in Woodside
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.
Homes close to Church of All Saints include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. Rented homes near Garston station change hands often, and botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.

Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
- Keep the room well ventilated
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
Keep an eye on the joint at first, especially if movement was the problem. Should anything change, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Mould under a second layer of sealant keeps growing out of sight. By the time it shows through, the joint is well past saving.
