About our remedial sealant in East Dean
A joint that keeps failing usually has a reason. Movement, the wrong product or a leak from somewhere else will beat any new bead. We look for the cause before we reseal. If you’re dealing with sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface and mould trapped under a layer of silicone, we can help, on botched or over-sealed joints, failed movement joints and leaking tray & enclosure joints alike.
Around East Dean, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats. The work is the same as anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Questions from East Dean
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in East Dean?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
Will you come out to East Dean?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status, and we are fully insured.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
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.
Remedial sealant in East Dean: local notes
East Dean has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you live in an older home near The Parish Church of All Saints, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep the room well ventilated
- Deal with small splits early
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
Watch the joint over the first few weeks, especially if movement was the problem. Should anything change, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Mould trapped under over-sealed joints spreads unseen. When it finally shows, the whole bead needs to come out.
What we’re called out for in East Dean
Joint depth matters. A bead bonded on three sides, or laid too thick, cannot flex, and tears at the first real movement. Backing sets the depth and stops that.
The problems people usually mention when they call include:
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
In and around East Dean, as anywhere, good remedial sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Questions to ask before you book
- How long the guarantee is
- What product goes in the joint
- Which colour the sealant will be
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
Quotes for remedial sealant in East Dean
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The product the joint needs
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The size of the job
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.
What to tell us for a quote

Quotes start with a quick conversation. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we’ll talk you through what we’d do. Whenever you are ready, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
What we do, step by step
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we don’t rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it generally takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. For a village or hamlet like East Dean, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- Surrounding tiles, trays and frames are protected first.
- The botched or failed sealant is cut away completely.
- The joint is degreased and checked for movement and leaks.
- New sealant goes in once the joint is dry, and is tooled smooth.
- We give you the cure time and explain what caused the failure.
How to prepare
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Why it’s worth doing now in East Dean
Stripping out botched sealant adds time to a reseal, but rarely a lot: the work takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. It’s far less disruption than resealing the same joint again and again. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like East Dean, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Ask us for a quote and we’ll go through it with you.

- White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows
