Why act early in Five Ash Down
Adding more sealant is the usual quick fix, and it rarely works. It doesn’t grip the old layer, leaving the leak in place and one more layer to cut out later. Older cottages and farmhouses around Five Ash Down can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.

Remedial sealant in Five Ash Down, done properly
Some sealant jobs aren’t a simple reseal, because someone has already had a go. Silicone laid over silicone, smears across tiles, the wrong product in a moving joint or mould trapped underneath all need stripping out before the joint can be done properly. We are often asked to deal with decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower and black mould underneath the bead, across leaking tray & enclosure joints, botched or over-sealed joints and failed movement joints.
Homes around Five Ash Down are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

What remedial sealant looks like in Five Ash Down
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you look after a building such as Buxted CofE Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. Rented homes near Buxted station change hands often, and a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty. If you live in an older home near Five Ash Down Independent Chapel, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

Different surfaces, different methods
Worktops & kitchens
Kitchen joints often have grease and cleaning residue deep in them, so we spend extra time cleaning before resealing.
Movement & expansion joints
Bonding on three sides is a common reason movement joints tear. Backing rod or bond-breaker tape prevents it, letting the sealant flex between the two faces.

Asking for a quote

- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- The rough size of the job
- Whether it has been sealed before
- The type of property
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand.
The process
Once we are on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. For a village or hamlet like Five Ash Down, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.
- Mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Advice
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 need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
- Deal with small splits early
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
- Don’t add new sealant on top of old
Ventilation keeps mould away from the new bead: use the extractor or open a window after showering.
A failing joint rarely gets better on its own. Every shower or downpour sends more water through, into floors, walls or ceilings. Early action keeps it to a sealant job.
