Almodington: your questions answered
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Almodington?
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.
Will you come out to Almodington?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Does remedial work come with a guarantee?
Yes. Every job comes with our one-year guarantee.
What happens if the problem is the tray or the plumbing?
In that case, we tell you what we’ve found. You may need a plumber or bathroom fitter before any new sealant goes on.
Will there be a smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Where do you work from?
Our base is Crawley. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Can failed expansion joints be resealed?
Yes. Backing sets the depth and stops the sealant sticking to the back.
How long does the work take?
The number of joints and layers decides it. You’ll have a timescale before any work begins.
How the visit works
At the end, we look at the finished work together. The work normally takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out, depending on how much there is to do. Somewhere as small as Almodington, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We look at how the sealant has failed and check for movement or a leak path.
- Every layer of old sealant is cut and cleaned out.
- We clean the joint, treat any mould and let it dry.
- Where the joint moves, backing and a flexible sealant suited to the movement go in.
- The new joint is tooled neatly and we explain anything else we found.
Before we arrive
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

When something else is needed
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’ll tell you before we start. Sealant won’t put right:
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Expansion joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Failed movement joints
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
If we’ve found a cause, such as a loose tray or a leaking waste, get it fixed, because the new sealant can’t hold back a problem underneath.
A failing joint rarely gets better on its own. Every shower or downpour sends more water through, into whatever is behind or below. Sorting it early limits the damage.
For landlords and businesses
We also work for property managers and facilities teams. We can quote a run of properties together, and we’re fully insured.
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.
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.
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.
Do you need remedial sealant in Almodington?
Silicone only bonds to surfaces that are clean and dry. Residue, moisture or dust left in the joint weaken the bond, and the joint starts to come away early.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
- A second bead peeling off the first
- Black mould underneath the bead
Rented homes near Chichester station change hands often, and a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.
What your quote should include
- How long to leave it before use
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
What remedial sealant looks like in Almodington
Almodington is close to the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
In the older streets around Earnley Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. If you look after a building such as Birdham CE 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.
