Remedial sealant in Funtington, done properly
If a joint has been resealed and is leaking again, it’s worth a proper look. It helps to have photos when you phone 0345 464 0079 or email us, and say how long ago it was last done. If you’re dealing with kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop and floor or wall movement joints that have failed, we can put it right, on expansion joints, leaking tray & enclosure joints and shrunken worktop sealant alike.
Somewhere as small as Funtington, 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.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
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 fails, we can still redo it.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Remedial sealant around Funtington
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.
For landlords with property near Nutbourne station, failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak. Homes close to The Parish Church of St Mary include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

For landlords and businesses

A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Find out why the sealant failed first
- Run the fan after every shower
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
- Deal with small splits early
Ventilation keeps mould away from the new bead: use the extractor or open a window after showering.
Movement joints that have split let water into the structure, and left long enough, the edges of the joint can crumble. A joint with sound edges is far easier to reseal.

What else we do in Funtington
How it works
On the day, we start by going over the job with you. We protect the surfaces around the joints before we start.

Common problems we fix in Funtington
How a joint is built matters as much as the product. Sealant packed too deep, or stuck to the back of the joint as well as the sides, cannot stretch, so it tears when the joint moves. Backing sets the depth and stops that.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
- Over-sealed joints coming away
Managing a site like Funtington Primary School? Then 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.
Before you book anyone
- When the joint can take water or movement
- What insurance they hold
- Whether VAT is included
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
When something else is needed
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- A bath, tray or worktop that moves until it’s properly fixed
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- A leaking trap, valve or supply pipe
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.
