Questions from Fontwell
Will you come out to Fontwell?
Yes. Fontwell is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Barnham station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Do I need to be at home?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
How much does remedial sealant cost in Fontwell?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote.
Which products do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We will tell you what we’re using and why.
How long does remedial resealing take?
The number of joints and layers decides it. We’ll tell you before we start.
Will there be a smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Should I try DIY first?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Fontwell
A joint that keeps failing usually has a reason. Movement, the wrong product or a leak from somewhere else will defeat even a perfect bead. Finding that cause comes before any new sealant. We work on failed movement joints, expansion joints and leaking tray & enclosure joints, and common reasons people get in touch are caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area and beads that never stuck properly.
Being in a small place like Fontwell makes no difference to the job itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Once we are there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in West Sussex.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Act on a lifting corner straight away
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
Leave the new joint to cure fully before it gets wet or moves: normally around 24 hours, or as long as we advise.
Signs to act on: sealant lifting at the ends, a second bead visible on top of the first, black mould under the silicone, or stains below a bathroom. Each one is worth getting looked at.
Remedial sealant around Fontwell
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.
Managing a site like Ormiston Six Villages Academy? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. For landlords with property near Barnham station, a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.

What else we do in Fontwell
Should I try it myself first?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A bath, tray or worktop that moves until it’s properly fixed
- Plumbing leaks behind walls or under trays
- Failed tanking or loose tiles behind the sealant
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Failed movement joints
- Expansion joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints
The process
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. For a village or hamlet like Fontwell, 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.
- We protect the surfaces around the joint.
- Every layer of failed sealant is stripped out.
- The joint is degreased and checked for movement and leaks.
- New sealant goes in once the joint is dry, and is tooled smooth.
- You get the cure time and our view on why the joint failed.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Advice
For landlords and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
What happens if it’s left?
Mould under a bead cannot be reached by cleaning. Removal is the only way to get at it, and the joint treated and dried before resealing. In a small place like Fontwell, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What you get with us
- White, clear, grey or another colour, product permitting

What the job involves on each surface
Movement & expansion joints
Joints filled with mortar, grout or rigid filler cannot move. Where it can be raked out, we replace it with flexible sealant.
Windows & doors
Wrong-coloured or messy mastic can be replaced for appearance too, in a colour that suits the frame.
