DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Remedial sealant in Yattendon
A joint that keeps letting you down needs more than another bead. It helps to have pictures when you ring 0345 464 0079 or email us. If you have smears and lumps from a botched reseal and mould trapped under a layer of silicone, we can put it right.
Being in a small place like Yattendon makes no difference to the job itself: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Signs you need remedial sealant in Yattendon
All sealant wears out eventually. Mould grows into the silicone, the surface hardens and the bead shrinks. At that point it has to come out.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Beads that never stuck properly
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
Letting a property close to Goring & Streatley station? Then a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.

What we do, step by step
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we don’t rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it normally takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. Somewhere like Yattendon needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off.
- We treat any mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The right product goes in, with backing where the joint moves.

What else we do in Yattendon
What happens if it’s left?
Mould under a bead cannot be reached by cleaning. Removal is the only way to get at it, so the joint can be treated and resealed. Older cottages and farmhouses around Yattendon can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.

For landlords and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. We can quote for more than one property at once.
How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Check ceilings under showers for marks
- Clean sealant with mild products only
- Run the fan after every shower
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
Clean gently: a mild cleaner and a soft cloth, with no blades or scourers.
Mould trapped under over-sealed joints spreads unseen. When it finally shows, the whole bead needs to come out.
Remedial sealant around Yattendon
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
In the older streets around Church of St Peter and St Paul, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. If you look after a building such as Yattendon C.E. Primary School, 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.
