Remedial Sealant in Wormshill
Failed sealant joints in Wormshill need attention? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, with a one-year guarantee.
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
- A second bead peeling off the first
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Wormshill
A joint that keeps failing normally has a reason. A tray that moves, a worktop that is not fixed, the wrong sealant or water getting in elsewhere will defeat even a perfect bead. We look for the cause before we reseal. If you have sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted and kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop, we can help, whatever the surface.
Homes around Wormshill are mostly 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.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Wormshill and everywhere else we cover.

Common problems we fix in Wormshill
Sealant needs a clean, dry surface with no grease on it. Residue, moisture or dust left in the joint weaken the bond, and the joint starts to come away early.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Black mould underneath the bead
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
For an older house near a landmark such as St Giles, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

Why act early in Wormshill
Stripping out botched sealant adds time to a reseal, but not by much: the work takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. Compared with chasing the same leak every few months, it’s time well spent. In a small place like Wormshill, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.

What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work starts. The work generally takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. Somewhere as small as Wormshill, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- The failure is looked at first, so we know whether it’s sealant, movement or water from elsewhere.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit

What the job involves on each surface
Movement & expansion joints
Movement joints in floors, walls and façades need a flexible sealant set to the right depth. Failed sealant is cut out, backing rod or tape is fitted and the joint resealed.
Over-sealed & botched joints
Previous removal attempts can leave scratches or gouges. We work carefully to avoid adding to it, and tell you about any damage we find.
When it isn’t the sealant
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacing)
- A leaking trap, valve or supply pipe
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
