Remedial Sealant in Ferring
Failed sealant joints in Ferring need attention? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, with a one-year guarantee.
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
Should I try it myself first?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
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 fails, we can still redo it.
About our remedial sealant in Ferring
Some sealant jobs are not a simple reseal, because someone has already had a go. New sealant over old, smeared beads, unsuitable products and hidden mould all have to come out before the joint can be done properly. Typical jobs include sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared and gaps opening along the back of the worktop, on mouldy bath & shower sealant, leaking tray & enclosure joints and shrunken worktop sealant.
Homes around Ferring range from older cottages to more recent houses. In older homes, walls and floors can move a little more, so the right flexible sealant matters.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Questions from Ferring
Can you do remedial sealant in Ferring?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Ferring is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Do you cover smaller places like Ferring?
Yes, Ferring is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We will give you the cure time for the product we used.
Do I need to be at home?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
How long will it take to strip and reseal the joint?
That depends on how many layers there are and how many joints. You’ll have a timescale before any work begins.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.

Ferring homes and their sealant
Ferring is within about 1 mile of the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
Schools such as Ferring CofE Primary School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. For landlords with property near Goring-By-Sea station, failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.

The process
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. 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. For a job in Ferring, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- We start by checking the joint for movement, leaks and the reason it failed.
- We strip the joint completely, removing any layers below.
- We clean the joint, treat any mould and let it dry.
- We use the right backing and sealant for any joint that moves.
- The new joint is tooled neatly and we explain anything else we found.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Move anything stored near the joints

Advice
Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
- Act on a lifting corner straight away
- Run the fan after every shower
- Don’t add new sealant on top of old
If the joint ever needs renewing, have it cut out, not sealed over. Over-sealing is how many remedial jobs start.
Movement joints that have split let water into the structure, and left long enough, the edges of the joint can crumble. Resealing while the edges are sound is simpler.
What happens if it’s left?
A failed seal rarely means a new bathroom. When the fittings are sound, stripping and resealing the joints is often enough. If they’re not, we’ll tell you. In a smaller place like Ferring, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first.

What we’re called out for in Ferring
Silicone only bonds to surfaces that are clean and dry. Residue, moisture or dust left in the joint weaken the bond, so it starts lifting sooner than it should.
People usually contact us when they notice something like this:
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
- Torn expansion joints
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
- Beads that never stuck properly
In the older streets around St Andrew's Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
Questions to ask before booking
