Bolney Remedial Sealant
Remedial sealant across Bolney and nearby, with every bit of old sealant taken out first and a one-year guarantee.
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
- Beads that never stuck properly
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
- Keep the room well ventilated
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
- Never seal over old silicone
Ventilation keeps mould away from the new bead: use the extractor or open a window after showering.
Mould trapped under over-sealed joints spreads unseen. By the time it shows through, the joint is well past saving.
About our remedial sealant in Bolney
With more than 20 years’ experience, our applicators have seen most of the ways sealant can fail. We’re fully insured ARBOMaster approved applicators, and remedial work carries our 12-month guarantee. We work on expansion joints, botched or over-sealed joints and failed movement joints, and the jobs we see most are gaps opening along the back of the worktop and dark patches showing through the sealant.
Somewhere as small as Bolney, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Remedial sealant in Bolney: local notes
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
If you look after a building such as Bolney CofE 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. Rented homes near Wivelsfield station change hands often, and failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.

Quotes for remedial sealant in Bolney
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Any mould that needs treating
- The product the joint needs
- The number and length of the joints
- How many areas need sealing
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- The rough size of the job
- The type of property
- Any access issues, like height or stairs

Every job is quoted individually. Simply phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and describe the job, and pictures are welcome.
What happens on the day
There’s no need to move everything out, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out for a typical job. In a small place like Bolney, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- Surrounding tiles, trays and frames are protected first.
- The botched or failed sealant is cut away completely.
- We clean and degrease the joint and look for signs of movement or water.
- Once dry, a suitable sealant is applied and tooled.

Advice
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Bolney: your questions answered
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Wivelsfield station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Do you cover Bolney for remedial sealant?
Yes, Bolney is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available for many products, and we agree the colour with you before any work starts.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises, as well as homes. We can talk about working times when we quote.
What happens if the problem is the tray or the plumbing?
That’s why we look for the cause first. If the fault is elsewhere, you’ll know before any work is done.
Where are you based?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Signs you need remedial sealant in Bolney
A lot of failed joints have been sealed over rather than replaced. Silicone does not bond to silicone, so the top layer lifts and water and mould collect between the two.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- Torn expansion joints
- Black mould underneath the bead
In the older streets around St Mary Magdalene's Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
What your quote should include
- How hidden problems are handled
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- The length of the guarantee
- How the colour is chosen

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
When it isn’t the sealant
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before any work starts. Sealant will not put right:
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- A leaking trap, valve or supply pipe
- Older mastics that may need an asbestos check before removal
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
