For a village or hamlet like Crockerhill, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- The failure is looked at first, so we know whether it’s sealant, movement or water from elsewhere.

- The joint is tooled and you’re told about anything else we found.

Remedial sealant in Crockerhill, done properly
If a joint fails again and again, something is causing it. Movement, the wrong product or a leak from somewhere else will defeat even a perfect bead. Finding that cause comes before any new sealant. Common call-outs are for sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted and sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared, across botched or over-sealed joints, failed movement joints and leaking tray & enclosure joints.
In a village or hamlet like Crockerhill, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee.

DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Surface by surface
Windows & doors
Smeared or badly matched mastic can be cut out and redone neatly, in a colour that suits the frame.
Worktops & kitchens
Kitchen joints often have grease and cleaning residue deep in them, so cleaning takes longer than in a bathroom before resealing.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
- Keep the room well ventilated
Keep an eye on the joint at first, particularly where the original failure was caused by movement. If anything changes, just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Signs to act on: 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.
What sealant work cannot fix
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A tray or bath that is cracked
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Failed tanking or loose tiles behind the sealant
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Failed movement joints
- Expansion joints
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Botched or over-sealed joints
Questions from Crockerhill
Will you come out to Crockerhill?
Yes. Crockerhill is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Barnham station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do I need to be at home?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
Which products do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what we are using.
My shower still leaks after a reseal. Can you sort it?
Yes. All the sealant comes out, we find out why it failed, and the joint is resealed properly.
Can you strip sealant from an acrylic tray safely?
Yes, with care. The old bead is cut and lifted with tools that suit the surface, then clean off the residue. We point out any damage that is already there.
What information do you need?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few pictures.
How long will it take to strip and reseal the joint?
The number of joints and layers decides it. We will tell you before any work starts.
What we’re called out for in Crockerhill
A lot of failed joints have been sealed over rather than replaced. Silicone doesn’t bond to silicone, so the top layer lifts and water and mould collect between the two.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
Letting a property close to Barnham station? Then botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.

What remedial sealant looks like in Crockerhill
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Homes close to The Parish Church of St Mary include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. Schools such as Tangmere Primary Academy are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
