Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Fishbourne
Remedial jobs in Fishbourne usually fall into a few patterns: sealant over sealant, mould under the bead, leaks that come back and movement joints that have split. Each is stripped back and done again properly. We are often asked to deal with repeat leaks from the same joint and over-sealed joints coming away, on failed movement joints, botched or over-sealed joints and leaking tray & enclosure joints.
In and around Fishbourne, older properties sit alongside newer ones. In older homes, walls and floors can move a little more, so the right flexible sealant matters.

How we quote for remedial sealant
Call for a quick quote. What matters most is:
- The type of sealant required
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The amount of work
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What to tell us for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Roughly how big the job is
- If someone has resealed it before
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is.
Different surfaces, different methods
Windows & doors
Frames resealed over the top end up with hard, layered mastic. All of it is cut out and the frame and wall cleaned.
Leaking trays & enclosures
A cracked tray, failed valve or leaking waste needs a different fix. We will tell you what we find.
Fishbourne questions
I let a flat near Fishbourne station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Do you take on hotel work around Fishbourne?
Yes, we work for hotels as well as homes and businesses. Rooms can be done a few at a time, so the building stays open.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Normally, yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours, and we agree the colour with you before work begins.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
What should I tell you?
A short description and the location. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
Can old silicone be taken off without scratching the tiles?
Yes. We take our time over removal, especially on acrylic, enamel and uPVC.
Do you cover Fishbourne?
Yes, we do. Fishbourne is part of the area we cover, and the service is the same as everywhere else.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Fishbourne
Fishbourne is within about 3 miles of the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
If you look after a building such as Fishbourne CofE Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. Rented homes near Fishbourne station change hands often, and botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
- Don’t point over movement joints
- Find out why the sealant failed first
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
Do not let anyone seal over it later. New silicone doesn’t bond to old, so the old bead should always come out first.
Mould under a second layer of sealant keeps growing out of sight. When it finally shows, the whole bead needs to come out.

What else we do in Fishbourne
For landlords and businesses
We also work for property managers and facilities teams. Several sites can go on one quote, and we are fully insured for the work.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Can I do it myself?
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.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
What we do, step by step
At the end, we look at the finished work together. The work normally takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied, depending on the amount of work. For a job in Fishbourne, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- We start by checking the joint for movement, leaks and the reason it 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.
- Finally we finish the joint and talk you through what we found.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Signs you need remedial sealant in Fishbourne
Products get mixed up: caulk where it gets wet, rigid sealant where things move, or an acetoxy silicone on a surface it can mark. Each fails in its own way.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- Torn expansion joints
- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
Homes close to Church of St Peter and St Mary include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
