Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Fittleworth
If a joint fails again and again, something is causing it. A tray that moves, a worktop that is not fixed, the wrong sealant or water getting in elsewhere will defeat even a perfect bead. Finding that cause comes before any new sealant. Common call-outs are for caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area and sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface, across expansion joints, shrunken worktop sealant and failed movement joints.
Somewhere as small as Fittleworth, 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.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What the job involves on each surface
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Mould often spreads under the bead as well as through it. We treat the exposed joint once the bead is out.
Over-sealed & botched joints
Previous removal attempts can leave scratches or gouges. We work carefully to avoid adding to it, and point out any existing damage.
Remedial sealant in Fittleworth: local notes
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale 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 Fittleworth CofE Village School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. In the older streets around The Parish Church of St Mary, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. If you let a flat or house near Pulborough station, failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.

What we can’t put right

- A bath, tray or worktop that moves until it’s properly fixed

- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Expansion joints
- Failed movement joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant

Why deal with it now?
Stripping out botched sealant adds time to a reseal, but rarely a lot: it 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. Around Fittleworth, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.

Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Do not add new sealant on top of old
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
- Find out why the sealant failed first
Go easy on the new sealant: no scraping, scouring pads or harsh chemicals.
Movement joints that have split let water into the structure, and the longer it’s left, the more the joint edges break down. A joint with sound edges is far easier to reseal.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
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. Everything old must be removed first.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.

Can you help a landlord with a rental near Pulborough station?

Which products do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
Can I do it myself?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
Can failed expansion joints be resealed?
Yes. We cut out the failed sealant, fit backing and reseal with a flexible product.
What if the leak isn’t the sealant?
You’ll hear it from us. A cracked tray, faulty valve or leaking waste needs a different trade, and we won’t reseal for the sake of it.
My shower still leaks after a reseal. Can you sort it?
Yes. We’ll take all the sealant out, look for why it failed and reseal it properly.
