Remedial sealant in Dukes Green: local notes
Dukes Green is within about 3 miles of the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. 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.
For an older house near a landmark such as The Parish Church of St Michael the Archangel, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. Schools such as Alfriston School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

About our remedial sealant in Dukes Green
If a joint has been resealed and is leaking again, it’s worth a proper look. It helps to have pictures when you ring 0345 464 0079 or email us, and say how long ago it was last done. If you have movement joints that have split or pulled away and decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Somewhere as small as Dukes Green, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

How it works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we don’t rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it normally takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. In a small place like Dukes Green, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- The failure is looked at first, so we know whether it’s sealant, movement or water from elsewhere.
- Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off.
- Mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The right product goes in, with backing where the joint moves.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
Before we arrive
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Advice

Also in Dukes Green
Why deal with it now?
Hidden water does the most damage: wet floors, stained ceilings and swollen worktops. By comparison, sorting the joint is quick. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Dukes Green, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.
Why us?
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- A 12-month guarantee on all work

Do you work for letting agents?

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Do you offer different sealant colours?
In most cases you can choose. We will explain which colours are available.

Common problems we fix in Dukes Green
How a joint is built matters as much as the product. A bead bonded on three sides, or laid too thick, cannot flex, and tears at the first real movement. Backing rod or bond-breaker tape prevents it.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
- Beads that never stuck properly
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
Letting a property close to Berwick (Sussex) station? Then a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
What the job involves on each surface
Leaking trays & enclosures
If the tray is cracked, or the leak is from the valve or waste, sealant will not fix it. We say so rather than reseal.
Worktops & kitchens
If a worktop moves when you lean on it, the sealant will keep splitting. That needs refixing before resealing, which we’ll point out.
What sealant work can’t fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacing)
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
