- Over-sealed joints coming away
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
How the visit works
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out and we leave things clean and tidy. Somewhere like Alfold Bars 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.
- 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.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- The joint is tooled and you’re told about anything else we found.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

About our remedial sealant in Alfold Bars
Getting old sealant out properly is slow, careful work. We cut out every layer, clear the residue and degrease the surfaces, without scratching tiles, trays or frames. New sealant only bonds to a clean, dry joint. Common call-outs are for over-sealed joints coming away and repeat leaks from the same joint, on mouldy bath & shower sealant, botched or over-sealed joints and leaking tray & enclosure joints.
Around Alfold Bars, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you’re covered after we have gone.

Signs you need remedial sealant in Alfold Bars
Joint depth matters. A bead bonded on three sides, or laid too thick, can’t flex, and tears at the first real movement. Backing rod or bond-breaker tape prevents it.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Loxwood 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.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Which colour the sealant will be
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Don’t wait for a small gap to become a leak
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
- Find out why the sealant failed first
Leave the new joint to cure fully before it gets wet or moves: follow the cure time we give you.
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.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
Quotes for remedial sealant in Alfold Bars
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The type of sealant required
- Any mould that needs treating
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first and send you a clear quote before we start.
What we need to know
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- How we’d reach the joints
- If someone has resealed it before
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- The type of property
We quote each job on its own, so the first step is telling us about yours. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details and send pictures if you have them.
Different surfaces, different methods
Worktops & kitchens
A loose worktop splits its sealant. That needs refixing before resealing, and we’ll tell you if we find it.
Leaking trays & enclosures
Where the joints are the problem, every bead is stripped and resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone, tray edges and screen profiles included.

Questions from Alfold Bars
Is there a guarantee on remedial sealant in Alfold Bars?
All our work, in Alfold Bars and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Will you come out to Alfold Bars?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Where are you based?
We are based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Can I do it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises. We can talk about working times when we quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
How long does the work take?
Allow a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. You will know the timing when we quote.
Which products do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Why deal with it now?
Ripping out a bathroom isn’t usually needed. When the fittings are sound, stripping and resealing the joints is often enough. If they’re not, we will tell you. Around Alfold Bars, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.
