Remedial Sealant in Alfriston
Professional remedial sealant in and around Alfriston, with old sealant always removed completely and a 12-month guarantee.
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
What happens on the day
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The visit itself usually takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere as small as Alfriston, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First we find out how and where the joint has failed.
- Every layer of old sealant is cut and cleaned out.
- Next, any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We use the right backing and sealant for any joint that moves.
- Finally we finish the joint and talk you through what we found.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Clear the area around the work

Remedial sealant in Alfriston
If a joint has been resealed and is leaking again, it’s worth a proper look. Send photos when you call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email. We are often asked to deal with sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface and sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted, across failed movement joints, shrunken worktop sealant and expansion joints.
Around Alfriston, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats. The work is the same as anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

When to call us in Alfriston
Silicone only bonds to surfaces that are clean and dry. Soap film, dust, damp or old residue stop it gripping, so it starts lifting sooner than it should.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Over-sealed joints coming away
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
If you look after a building such as Alfriston 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.
What to look for in a quote
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- Whether you can choose the colour
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
- Clean sealant with mild products only
- Never seal over old silicone
- Don’t wait for a small gap to become a leak
Give the new sealant its full cure time: normally around 24 hours, or as long as we advise.
Mould under a second layer of sealant keeps growing out of sight. By the time it shows through, the joint is well past saving.
What remedial sealant looks like in Alfriston
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you let a flat or house near Berwick (Sussex) station, failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak. Homes close to Church of St. Andrew include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

How the job changes by surface
Over-sealed & botched joints
Every layer has to come out, including the smears and film on surrounding tiles. New sealant needs a fully clean surface.
Worktops & kitchens
Kitchen joints hold grease and residue, so cleaning takes longer than in a bathroom.
Questions from Alfriston
Will you come out to Alfriston?
Yes, Alfriston is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
I let a flat near Berwick (Sussex) station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Someone resealed my shower and it’s leaking again. Can you help?
Yes. There’s normally a reason: sealant over sealant, movement or another leak, and we deal with the cause first.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Opening a window helps.
Can you take off two layers of silicone?
Yes. Stripping layered sealant takes longer than a normal reseal, but it’s what makes the new bead last.
Can you match the sealant colour?
We will suggest a colour to suit the surroundings. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do. We can talk about working times when we quote.
What sealant work cannot fix
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before work begins. It will not solve:
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacing)
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Failed movement joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Expansion joints
DIY versus a professional finish
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Landlord and commercial work in Alfriston
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
