How we handle remedial sealant in Woolston
Some sealant jobs aren’t a simple reseal, because someone has already had a go. Silicone laid over silicone, smears across tiles, the wrong product in a moving joint or mould trapped underneath all need stripping out before the joint can be done properly. If you are dealing with movement joints that have split or pulled away and black mould underneath the bead, we can put it right.
Homes around Woolston range from older cottages to more recent houses. Older homes can move a little with the seasons, which is hard on tired sealant and rigid grout.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Woolston as everywhere else we work.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Keep the room well ventilated
- Do not add new sealant on top of old
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
- Find out why the sealant failed first
Go easy on the new sealant: a mild cleaner and a soft cloth, with no blades or scourers.
A failing joint rarely gets better on its own. Each use pushes more water behind the bead, into whatever is behind or below. Sorting it early limits the damage.
Landlord and commercial work in Woolston
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
When to call us in Woolston
Products get mixed up: caulk where it gets wet, rigid sealant where things move, or an acetoxy silicone on a surface it can mark. Each fails in its own way.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Over-sealed joints coming away
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
Schools such as Woolston Infant School are buildings too, and 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.

How the visit works
We bring everything the job needs with us. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. For a job in Woolston, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- We start by checking the joint for movement, leaks and the reason it failed.
- We strip the joint completely, removing any layers below.
- Next, any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- Moving joints get backing and a flexible sealant to suit.
- The new joint is tooled neatly and we explain anything else we found.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Clear the area around the work

Why act early in Woolston
Leaks that are left keep doing damage out of sight: soaked floorboards, ceiling stains below and blown plaster. Dealing with the joint now is a small job by comparison. Around Woolston, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

Woolston questions
I let a flat near Woolston station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Do you take on hotel work around Woolston?
Yes, we work for hotels as well as homes and businesses. Rooms can be done a few at a time, so the building stays open.
Can old silicone be taken off without scratching the tiles?
Yes, with care. The old bead is cut and lifted with tools that suit the surface, then clean off the residue. Any existing damage is pointed out before work begins.
Is remedial work guaranteed?
Yes, with our one-year guarantee. If we’ve pointed out another problem, getting it fixed helps the new joint last.
What sealant do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We will tell you what we are using and why.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Should I try DIY first?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.

Some movement joints have been filled with mortar or grout. Where it can be raked out, we replace it with flexible sealant.
Windows & doors
