Remedial sealant & repairs in Falmer, Brighton and Hove
Problem with your failed sealant joints in Falmer? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant, with a one-year guarantee.
- A second bead peeling off the first
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
Should I try it myself first?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
How we handle remedial sealant in Falmer
If a joint has been resealed and is leaking again, it’s worth a proper look. Send pictures when you call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email, along with when it was last resealed. We work on expansion joints, mouldy bath & shower sealant and leaking tray & enclosure joints, and common reasons people get in touch are dark patches showing through the sealant and wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones.
For a small place like Falmer, remedial sealant is planned like any other job: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Once we are there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

What happens if it’s left?
Leaks that are left keep doing damage out of sight: wet floors, stained ceilings and swollen worktops. Dealing with the joint now is a small job by comparison. Around Falmer, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.
Why us?
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- One-year guarantee on every job
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- We’re fully insured

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not point over movement joints
- Do not add new sealant on top of old
- Act on a lifting corner right away
- Check trays and worktops don’t move
Watch the joint over the first few weeks, particularly where the original failure was caused by movement. If anything changes, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
A split movement joint lets rain into walls and floors, and the longer it’s left, the more the joint edges break down. Resealing while the edges are sound is simpler.
Other services in Falmer
When something else is needed
In fairness, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
- A tray or bath that is cracked
- Failed tanking or loose tiles behind the sealant
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think before you book.

Remedial sealant around Falmer
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.
Schools such as Brighton Aldridge Community Academy are buildings too, and 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. Homes close to The Parish Church of St Lawrence include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. Rented homes near Falmer station change hands often, and a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.

Surface by surface
Leaking trays & enclosures
A shower that leaks after resealing often has a tray that moves or an enclosure sealed on the wrong side. We check both before we reseal.
Movement & expansion joints
Movement joints in floors, walls and façades need a flexible sealant set to the right depth. We remove the failed sealant, fit backing and reseal.
What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The visit itself generally takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere as small as Falmer, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- The failure is looked at first, so we know whether it’s sealant, movement or water from elsewhere.
- Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.
- We treat any mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The right product goes in, with backing where the joint moves.
- The joint is tooled and you’re told about anything else we found.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
