Remedial sealant in Cliffe, done properly
Water on the floor does not always mean failed silicone. A cracked tray, a failed shower valve or a leaking waste can look just the same. If that is what we find, we will tell you rather than reseal something that won’t fix it. Common call-outs are for dark patches showing through the sealant and a second bead peeling off the first, across failed movement joints, leaking tray & enclosure joints and botched or over-sealed joints.
Even in a smaller place like Cliffe, bathrooms and kitchens see heavy daily use. Whether it’s a cottage bathroom or a newer en suite, the approach is the same: old sealant or grout cut out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh finish laid.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Why deal with it now?
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. Homes in smaller places like Cliffe can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before work begins.
Why us?
- Homes, businesses and hotels
- Sealant colour chosen to suit
- Trusted Arbo and Everbuild sealants
- 20+ years of sealant experience
Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
- Deal with small splits early
- Keep the room well ventilated
If we have found a cause, such as a loose tray or a leaking waste, get it fixed, or the new joint may fail again.
Warning signs: peeling layers, mould showing through the bead, leaks after showering or cracks in a movement joint. Any of them means it’s time for remedial work.
Cliffe questions
Will you come out to Cliffe?
Yes, Cliffe is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Lewes station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Will it make a mess?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us, and we’re fully insured.
What if the leak is not the sealant?
That is why we look for the cause first. If we find the leak is elsewhere, we tell you before going further.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
In most cases you can choose. We’ll tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before work begins.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
How it works
Once we are on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. For a job in Cliffe, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- First we find out how and where the joint has failed.
- We strip the joint completely, removing any layers below.
- 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.
- We tool the joint and tell you about anything else that needs attention.
Before we arrive
- Mention any tricky access
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

What affects the quote in Cliffe
Your quote is based on your job. We look at:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The product the joint needs
- The amount of work
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- The rough size of the job
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or email us if that is easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we’ll explain what’s involved and give you a clear price.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Cliffe
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Cliffe homes and their sealant
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings. Cliffe has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room.
For landlords with property near Lewes station, a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty. Managing a site like Priory School? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

Local landmarks in Cliffe
Around Cliffe, our work takes us to homes and buildings near Gardeners Arms, Railway Land and Lewes Old Grammar School, among other places. Cliffe has its own railway station: Lewes station. A little further out are Lewes Castle (0.5 miles west) and Lewes Victoria Hospital (1.1 miles west). Green spaces nearby include Cliffe Hill and Malling Down.
What we’re called out for in Cliffe
Joint depth matters. A bead bonded on three sides, or laid too thick, can’t flex, so it tears when the joint moves. Backing rod or bond-breaker tape prevents it.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
In the older streets around Church of St Thomas at Cliffe, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether VAT is included
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant

- Whether you can choose the colour
