Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Cousley Wood
The wrong product in the wrong joint won’t last, however tidy it looks. Out it comes, and in goes a sealant suited to the job. If you have floor or wall movement joints that have failed and a shower that leaks however often it’s resealed, we can help, on leaking tray & enclosure joints, expansion joints and botched or over-sealed joints alike.
Homes around Cousley Wood are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Cousley Wood and everywhere else we cover.

How it works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. Most jobs take a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. For a village or hamlet like Cousley Wood, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First we find out how and where the joint has failed.
- Every layer of old sealant is cut and cleaned out.
- We clean the joint, treat any mould and let it dry.
- Moving joints get backing and a flexible sealant to suit.
- We tool the joint and tell you about anything else that needs attention.
Before we arrive
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Advice
What we are called out for in Cousley Wood
Joints that move need sealant that can stretch. Flexing baths, rocking trays and building movement joints will split a rigid or thin bead.
People usually contact us after spotting something like this:
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- Over-sealed joints coming away
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
If you look after a building such as Uplands Community College, 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.
What your quote should include

DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Landlord and commercial work in Cousley Wood
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Why act early in Cousley Wood
Another bead over the top will not fix a failed joint. It cannot bond to what’s underneath, so the leak carries on and there’s now more to remove. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Cousley Wood, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first.

Surface by surface
Windows & doors
A frame that keeps leaking may not be the mastic. We check the joint and tell you if it looks to be something else.
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Black mould inside the bead will not scrub out. All of it comes out, and the joint is treated and dried before anti-fungal sanitary silicone goes in.
What remedial sealant looks like in Cousley Wood
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
In the older streets around Rehoboth Chapel, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. If you let a flat or house near Wadhurst station, a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.
