Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Albourne
In Albourne, as anywhere, remedial jobs tend to look alike: sealant over sealant, mould under the bead, leaks that come back and movement joints that have split. We strip each one back and start from scratch. Common call-outs are for over-sealed joints coming away and worktop sealant that has shrunk and split, on failed movement joints, mouldy bath & shower sealant and shrunken worktop sealant.
Being in a small place like Albourne makes no difference to the job itself: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. Once we are there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Common questions in Albourne
Is Albourne within the area you cover?
Yes. Albourne is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Hassocks station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can be quoted together. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Can you match the sealant colour?
We’ll suggest a colour to suit the surroundings, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
When is the sealant fully cured?
That depends on the sealant used, so please follow the time we give you when we finish.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Which products do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We will tell you what we are using and why.
How it works
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. Somewhere like Albourne needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We protect the surfaces around the joint.
- Every layer of failed sealant is stripped out.
- The joint is degreased and checked for movement and leaks.
- New sealant goes in once the joint is dry, and is tooled smooth.
- You get the cure time and our view on why the joint failed.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Move anything stored near the joints

Advice
Places near Albourne
Also in Albourne
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, 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.
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.
What we are called out for in Albourne
Sealant needs a clean, dry surface with no grease on it. Soap film, dust, damp or old residue stop it gripping, so it starts lifting sooner than it should.
The problems people normally mention when they call include:
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- Beads that never stuck properly
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
If you let a flat or house near Hassocks station, failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.
Questions to ask before booking
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Are they insured?
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
When it isn’t the sealant
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
- Movement from fittings that are not supported
- Cracks in the fitting rather than the joint
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think.
Where we work in Albourne
- Expansion joints
- Failed movement joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant

Bathrooms and kitchens in Albourne
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you live in an older home near The Parish Church of St Bartholomew, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. If you look after a building such as Albourne CofE Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

What the job involves on each surface
Windows & doors
Failed frame mastic is often hard, cracked and in several layers. We remove it all and clean back to sound surfaces before backing and resealing.
Movement & expansion joints
Joints filled with mortar, grout or rigid filler can’t move. We rake that out where it can be removed and seal with a flexible product.
What happens if it’s left?
Mould under a bead can’t be reached by cleaning. The layers have to come out. In a small place like Albourne, 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 depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before we start, so you know where you stand.
