Remedial sealant in Codmore Hill, done properly
Decorators’ caulk in a shower, bathroom silicone on a window, a rigid filler in a movement joint will not last, however tidy it looks. We take it out and use a sealant made for that joint. We work on expansion joints, failed movement joints and botched or over-sealed joints, and the jobs we see most are leaks that keep coming back after resealing and worktop sealant that has shrunk and split.
For a small place like Codmore Hill, remedial sealant is planned like any other job: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
Every job comes with a 12-month guarantee.

What happens if it’s left?
Spraying mould remover on a sealed-over joint does not reach what’s underneath. The layers have to come out, so the joint can be treated and resealed. Around Codmore Hill, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
- Don’t add new sealant on top of old
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
- Act on a lifting corner straight away
Go easy on the new sealant: a mild cleaner and a soft cloth, with no blades or scourers.
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.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.
When something else is needed
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
- Cracks in the fitting rather than the joint
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Do you guarantee remedial jobs?
Yes. You get our 12-month guarantee, and we are ARBOMaster approved.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Usually, yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available, and we’ll agree it with you first.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We will tell you how long to leave the joint.
Do I have to be there?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
Can failed expansion joints be resealed?
Yes. Backing sets the depth and stops the sealant sticking to the back.
Can you remove old sealant without damaging the bath?
Yes. We avoid heavy scraping and use the right cleaner for each surface.
Codmore Hill homes and their sealant
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Rented homes near Pulborough station change hands often, and a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty. In the older streets around The Parish Church of St Mary, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

Signs you need remedial sealant in Codmore Hill
All sealant wears out eventually. Over the years it shrinks, hardens and gets colonised by mould. At that point it has to come out.
People generally contact us when they notice something like this:
- Black mould underneath the bead
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
- Torn expansion joints
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
Schools such as St Mary's Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and 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.
