Aldrington questions
Do you cover smaller places like Aldrington?
Yes, Aldrington is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Aldrington?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. Rooms can be done a few at a time, so the building stays open.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
In most cases you can choose. We’ll explain which colours are available.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
What if the leak isn’t the sealant?
We check for that before we reseal. If we find the leak is elsewhere, we tell you before going further.
How much does remedial sealant cost in Aldrington?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You’ll get a clear quote before work begins.
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.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Remedial sealant in Aldrington
Water on the floor doesn’t always mean failed silicone. A cracked tray, a failed shower valve or a leaking waste can look just the same. If that’s what we find, we will tell you rather than reseal something that won’t fix it. Typical jobs include worktop sealant that has shrunk and split and torn expansion joints, on botched or over-sealed joints, failed movement joints and shrunken worktop sealant.
In a smaller place like Aldrington, homes are mostly houses and bungalows rather than flats, from older cottages to newer builds. Bathrooms and kitchens here get the same daily wear as anywhere, and the sealant and grout show it first.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Remedial sealant around Aldrington
Aldrington is within about 1 mile of the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
Schools such as Hove Junior School are buildings too, and 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. Letting a property close to Portslade station? Then failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.

How the job changes by surface
Windows & doors
Smeared or badly matched mastic can be cut out and redone neatly, in a colour that suits the frame.
Leaking trays & enclosures
If the tray is cracked, or the leak is from the valve or waste, sealant will not fix it. We’ll tell you what we find.
How it works
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, carry out the job and tidy away. It usually takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. In a smaller place like Aldrington, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- 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.
- The right product goes in, with backing where the joint moves.
- The joint is tooled and you are told about anything else we found.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention any tricky access

DIY sealant or a professional job?
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.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Find out why the sealant failed first
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
- Don’t wait for a small gap to become a leak
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
Do not let anyone seal over it later. Over-sealing is how many remedial jobs start, so the old bead should always come out first.
A failing joint rarely gets better on its own. Each use pushes more water behind the bead, into whatever is behind or below. Sorting it early limits the damage.
What we are called out for in Aldrington
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.
Look out for any of the following:
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
- Torn expansion joints
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
In the older streets around St Philip's Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
