How we handle remedial sealant in Wootton
Decorators’ caulk in a shower, bathroom silicone on a window, a rigid filler in a movement joint fails however neatly it’s applied. We take it out and use a sealant made for that joint. If you’re dealing with movement joints that have split or pulled away and sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface, we can help, whatever the surface.
For a small place like Wootton, remedial sealant is planned like any other job: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.

When to call us in Wootton
Products get mixed up: acrylic caulk in a wet area, a general-purpose sealant on a moving joint, or an acetoxy silicone on natural stone or some metals. Each fails in its own way.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
- Torn expansion joints
For landlords with property near Shepherds Well station, a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.
Before booking anyone
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- What insurance they hold
- Whether VAT is included
- What guarantee comes with the work
Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
- Don’t wait for a small gap to become a leak
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
Clean gently: a mild cleaner and a soft cloth, with no blades or scourers.
Mould under a second layer of sealant keeps growing out of sight. When it finally shows, the whole bead needs to come out.
Wootton questions
Do you cover smaller places like Wootton?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Wootton?
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.
Do you fix expansion and movement joints?
Yes. The depth is set with backing so the sealant only bonds to the two sides, which lets it stretch.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
What do you put in the joint?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Should I try DIY first?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
How much does remedial sealant cost in Wootton?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote.
How long should I leave it?
That depends on the sealant used, so please follow the time we give you.
Why deal with it now?
Hidden water does the most damage: soaked floorboards, ceiling stains below and blown plaster. By comparison, sorting the joint is quick. Around Wootton, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Combining jobs into one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We will give you a clear price for the lot.

- Failed tanking or loose tiles behind the sealant
- Movement from fittings that aren’t supported
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think.

What happens on the day
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it usually takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. In a small place like Wootton, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.
- We treat any mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Mention any tricky access
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
