Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Duddleswell
Some sealant jobs aren’t a simple reseal, because someone has already had a go. Silicone laid over silicone, smears across tiles, the wrong product in a moving joint or mould trapped underneath all have to come out. If you’re dealing with smears and lumps from a botched reseal and torn expansion joints, we can put it right, on failed movement joints, botched or over-sealed joints and mouldy bath & shower sealant alike.
Around Duddleswell, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in East Sussex.

Should I try it myself first?
If you are 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 doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
What we cannot put right
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
- Failed tanking or loose tiles behind the sealant
- Plumbing leaks behind walls or under trays
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
- Don’t point over movement joints
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
- Don’t wait for a small gap to become a leak
Where we have pointed out another fault, have it put right, because the new sealant cannot hold back a problem underneath.
If a joint has failed more than once, stop resealing it. Have someone find out why, or the next bead will go the same way.
Do you need remedial sealant in Duddleswell?
Using the wrong product is a common cause: acrylic caulk in a wet area, a general-purpose sealant on a moving joint, or an acetoxy silicone on natural stone or some metals. Each fails in its own way.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
Rented homes near Buxted station change hands often, and a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.

What we do, step by step
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. Somewhere as small as Duddleswell, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- 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.
- Where the joint moves, backing and a flexible sealant suited to the movement go in.
- The new joint is tooled neatly and we explain anything else we found.
Preparing for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
