Specialist remedial sealant for Fulking: careful preparation, the right product and tidy work. Call for a quick quote.
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
DIY versus a professional finish
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again.
Remedial sealant in Fulking, done properly
Movement and expansion joints fail when the sealant can’t stretch. The old sealant comes out and backing goes in to control the depth, before resealing with a flexible product suited to the movement. We work on botched or over-sealed joints, leaking tray & enclosure joints and mouldy bath & shower sealant, and people most often call us about sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface and movement joints that have split or pulled away.
For a small place like Fulking, remedial sealant is planned like any other job: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

How the visit works
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we are doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. The work usually takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. Somewhere as small as Fulking, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We look at how the sealant has failed and check for movement or a leak path.
- We strip the joint completely, removing any layers below.
- The joint is cleaned, treated for mould and left to 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.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Advice
Common problems we fix in Fulking
Even good sealant ages. Mould grows into the silicone, the surface hardens and the bead shrinks. Then the only fix is removal and a new bead.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Black mould underneath the bead
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
For landlords with property near Portslade station, failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.

What remedial sealant looks like in Fulking
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.
Homes close to The Church of the Holy Trinity include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

Fulking questions
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Portslade station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders, and several properties can be quoted together. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Can you do remedial sealant in Fulking?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Fulking is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Does someone need to be in?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured for every job we do.
Someone resealed my shower and it’s leaking again. Can you help?
Yes. We check it’s the sealant and not the tray, valve or waste, then strip and reseal the joints.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We’ll give you the cure time for the product we used before we leave.
How do I get a quote for remedial sealant in Fulking?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You’ll get a clear quote before we start.
Leave it or put it right?
Mould under a bead cannot be reached by cleaning. The layers have to come out. Older cottages and farmhouses around Fulking can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.
