You’ll get a clear quote before we start. It takes into account:
- The product the joint needs
- When we can work, for business premises
- How much there is to do
- Mould in or behind the old joints
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Wych Cross
A joint that keeps letting you down needs more than another bead. It helps to have photos when you call 0345 464 0079 or email us. If you’re dealing with dark patches showing through the sealant and a second bead peeling off the first, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Somewhere as small as Wych Cross, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again.
What we cannot put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- A tray or worktop that needs refixing first
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think.
What we seal
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Failed movement joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Expansion joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
What happens on the day
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and clear up. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. Somewhere like Wych Cross needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We look at how the sealant has failed and check for movement or a leak path.
- Every layer of old sealant is cut and cleaned out.
- The joint is cleaned, treated for mould and left to dry.
- We use the right backing and sealant for any joint that moves.
- Finally we finish the joint and talk you through what we found.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention any tricky access

Surface by surface
Movement & expansion joints
Bonding on three sides is a common reason movement joints tear. Backing rod or bond-breaker tape prevents it, so the sealant grips the two sides only.
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Mould that has grown into silicone does not clean out for good. All of it comes out, and the joint is treated and dried before anti-fungal sanitary silicone goes in.

Why it’s worth doing now in Wych Cross
Remedial work takes longer than a straight reseal, but rarely a lot: the work takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. It’s far less disruption than resealing the same joint again and again. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Wych Cross, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
