How it works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it usually takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. For a village or hamlet like Birdham, the journey is planned in advance: 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.
- The failure is looked at first, so we know whether it’s sealant, movement or water from elsewhere.
- Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off.
- Mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The right product goes in, with backing where the joint moves.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention any tricky access
- Tell us about any water getting in

Remedial sealant in Birdham, done properly
Water on the floor doesn’t always mean failed silicone. Cracked trays, leaking wastes and faulty valves often look like a sealant problem. When the fault is elsewhere, we say so instead of resealing for the sake of it. If you have caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area and smears and lumps from a botched reseal, we can put it right.
Around Birdham, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. The work is the same as anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Why it’s worth doing now in Birdham
A joint that has failed twice will fail again unless the cause is dealt with. Finding it, whether movement, water from elsewhere or an unsuitable product, ends the cycle. Older cottages and farmhouses around Birdham can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

Should I try it myself first?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Common questions in Birdham
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Fishbourne station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Will you come out to Birdham?
Yes. Birdham is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
What information do you need?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few pictures.
How much does remedial sealant cost in Birdham?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
What happens if the problem is the tray or the plumbing?
We will tell you. A cracked tray, faulty valve or leaking waste needs a different trade, so we won’t pretend it will.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Most of the time, yes. We’ll explain which colours are available and agree one before we start.
How long before the joint can be used?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We will tell you how long to leave the joint.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we are fully insured for every job we do.
What affects the cost of remedial sealant
We don’t publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- Access and height
- The product the joint needs
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- When we can work, for business premises
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Roughly how big the job is
- The problem you’ve noticed
- How we’d reach the joints
- The type of property

Birdham homes and their sealant
Birdham is within about 2 miles of the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
In the older streets around St James' Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. Letting a property close to Fishbourne station? Then botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.

- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Failed movement joints
- Expansion joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
What the job involves on each surface
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Mould can sit behind the silicone, not just in it. Once it’s all removed, the joint is treated so the new sealant starts clean.
Leaking trays & enclosures
Where the joints are the problem, every bead is stripped and resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone, including the screen profile and tray edges.
When to call us in Birdham
How a joint is built matters as much as the product. 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.
Look out for any of the following:
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
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.
