How the job changes by surface
Windows & doors
A frame that keeps leaking may not be the mastic. If the frame joint isn’t the cause, we’ll say so.
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Repeat mould usually points to a damp, poorly aired room. Along with resealing, we will mention if the room needs better ventilation.
Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
When to call us in Furnace Wood
Some joints fail because water is reaching them from behind. A leaking valve, a failed waste or cracked grout feeds water behind the bead, so the silicone goes mouldy or lets go.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
- Black mould underneath the bead
Rented homes near East Grinstead station change hands often, and a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.

Why act early in Furnace Wood
Repeat failures have a cause. Taking time to find the cause, whether it’s movement, a leak or the wrong product, is what stops it happening again. Around Furnace Wood, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
