Remedial sealant in Brook Street, done properly
Getting old sealant out properly is slow, careful work. Every layer is cut out, the residue cleaned off and the joint degreased, taking care not to scratch the surfaces around it. New sealant only bonds to a clean, dry joint. We work on failed movement joints, botched or over-sealed joints and leaking tray & enclosure joints, and people most often call us about caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area and mould trapped under a layer of silicone.
Homes around Brook Street are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. The work is the same as anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Find out why the sealant failed first
- Do not point over movement joints
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
Don’t let anyone seal over it later. New silicone does not bond to old.
Signs to act on: peeling layers, mould showing through the bead, leaks after showering or cracks in a movement joint. Each one is worth getting looked at.
When something else is needed
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Movement from fittings that aren’t supported
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacing)
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What the job involves on each surface
Worktops & kitchens
Kitchen joints hold grease and residue, so cleaning takes longer than in a bathroom.
Movement & expansion joints
A sealant stuck to the back of the joint can’t stretch. Backing rod or bond-breaker tape prevents it, letting the sealant flex between the two faces.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Remedial sealant around Brook Street
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.
For landlords with property near Haywards Heath station, botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.

Signs you need remedial sealant in Brook Street
Water from somewhere else can ruin a good seal. A leaking valve, a failed waste or cracked grout feeds water behind the bead, so the silicone goes mouldy or lets go.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
- Beads that never stuck properly
- Torn expansion joints
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Holy Trinity Church of England 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.

How much does remedial sealant cost in Brook Street?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing and where.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
What do you put in the joint?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Can failed expansion joints be resealed?
Yes. If a joint has been filled with mortar or rigid filler, we rake it out where possible, and reseal with a flexible product.
How long before the joint can be used?
Cure times vary by product and the conditions. Before we leave, we’ll tell you the cure time.
Do the sealants smell?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
