What happens on the day
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. The work normally takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. Somewhere as small as Woolbridge, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Surrounding tiles, trays and frames are protected first.
- The botched or failed sealant is cut away completely.
- The joint is degreased and checked for movement and leaks.
- Once dry, a suitable sealant is applied and tooled.
- We give you the cure time and explain what caused the failure.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

How we handle remedial sealant in Woolbridge
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. If you have sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared and smears and lumps from a botched reseal, we can put it right, on botched or over-sealed joints, failed movement joints and shrunken worktop sealant alike.
Around Woolbridge, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. The work is the same as anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Why deal with it now?
A joint that has failed twice will fail again unless the cause is dealt with. Finding it, whether movement, water from elsewhere or an unsuitable product, ends the cycle. Around Woolbridge, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
What affects the cost of remedial sealant
You’ll get a clear quote before we start. It takes into account:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The number of rooms or windows
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- The type of property
- If someone has resealed it before
- Where the property is
- What’s wrong with the joints now
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add photos by email if you can.
Common problems we fix in Woolbridge
Even good sealant ages. Over the years it shrinks, hardens and gets colonised by mould, faster where ventilation is poor. Then the only fix is removal and a new bead.
People generally contact us after spotting one of these:
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
If you live in an older home near Church of St. Dunstan, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
