How we handle remedial sealant in Ford
Two decades of sealant work means we recognise most failures quickly. We’re ARBOMaster approved and fully insured, and every remedial job comes with a 12-month guarantee. Common call-outs are for thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles and caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area, on botched or over-sealed joints, mouldy bath & shower sealant and failed movement joints.
In a village or hamlet like Ford, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in West Sussex.

Landlord and commercial work in Ford
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we will give you a quote.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. We can quote for more than one property at once.
How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple:
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
- Deal with small splits early
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
Keep an eye on the joint at first, especially if movement was the problem. Should anything change, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Do not keep resealing the same joint. Have someone find out why, or the next bead will go the same way.
What we do, step by step
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. Once we have agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. Somewhere as small as Ford, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- 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.
- The joint is tooled and you’re told about anything else we found.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Is Ford within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Most of the time, yes. We’ll tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before we start.
Can you fix a reseal that hasn’t worked?
Yes. Repeat leaks generally come from over-sealing, movement or water getting in elsewhere, so we find that first.

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
Does remedial work come with a guarantee?
Yes. Our 12-month guarantee covers the work, and we are fully insured.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme.

How we quote for remedial sealant
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The product the joint needs
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- The address or postcode of the job

Surface by surface
Movement & expansion joints
A movement joint must be able to stretch. Failed sealant is cut out, backing rod or tape is fitted and the joint resealed.
Worktops & kitchens
Kitchen joints hold grease and residue, so cleaning takes longer than in a bathroom before resealing.
Other services in Ford
Remedial sealant around Ford
Ford is within about 2 miles of the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. 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 The Littlehampton Academy, washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes. In the older streets around The Parish Church of St Andrew, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. Rented homes near Ford station change hands often, and a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.
Ford is about 2 miles north-west of Littlehampton, in West Sussex. Our applicators cover remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Ford and nearby, as part of our work across West Sussex. Our area takes in 371 places across West Sussex, from the larger towns to small villages. For nearby work, see our Brighton page (20 miles or so).
We work across BN18 for remedial sealant and the streets around it. If you need remedial sealant at a property on Station Road, Ford Road and Rodney Crescent or a nearby road, our applicators can take on the job. Other places close to Ford include Tortington (1 mile north), Horsemere Green (1 mile south), Climping (1 mile south), Wick (1 mile east) and Lyminster (1 mile east).

Near you in Ford
We work in homes and buildings around The Arundel Arms Public House At Ford Station, among other places. There’s a railway station in Ford itself: Ford station. Nearby you’ll also find Arundel and District Hospital (2.1 miles north) and Rustington Museum (3.5 miles east). Green spaces nearby include WWT Arundel.
What happens if it’s left?
It’s easy to scratch acrylic, enamel or an uPVC frame cutting out old sealant, and the residue left behind stops the next bead bonding. Careful removal is most of a remedial job. Around Ford, 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 amount of work, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.
