What we’re called out for in Gurnard
Joint depth matters. Sealant packed too deep, or stuck to the back of the joint as well as the sides, cannot stretch, and tears at the first real movement. Backing rod or bond-breaker tape prevents it.
People normally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
For an older house near a landmark such as All Saints' Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

- How the colour is chosen

Gurnard: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Gurnard?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Gurnard?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
Someone sealed over the old bead. Can you fix it?
Yes. Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off, then the joint is resealed once.
How long will it take to strip and reseal the joint?
A little longer than a standard reseal. Most jobs take a few hours, and we confirm the time with your quote.
Where are you based?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover Gurnard, along with the rest of our area.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What does remedial sealant cost?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.
The process
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you. The visit itself normally takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out, depending on the amount of work. For a village or hamlet like Gurnard, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We protect the surfaces around the joint.
- The botched or failed sealant is cut away completely.
- We clean and degrease the joint and look for signs of movement or water.
- Once dry, a suitable sealant is applied and tooled.
- We give you the cure time and explain what caused the failure.
Before we arrive
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

For landlords and businesses
Landlords and agents in Gurnard can book us as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for.
We also work for property managers and facilities teams. Several sites can go on one quote, and we are fully insured for the work.
Why deal with it now?
Leaks that are left keep doing damage out of sight: soaked floorboards, ceiling stains below and blown plaster. By comparison, sorting the joint is quick. In a small place like Gurnard, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Run the fan after every shower
- Check trays and worktops don’t move
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
Leave the new joint to cure fully before it gets wet or moves: follow the cure time we give you.
Mould trapped under over-sealed joints spreads unseen. By the time it shows through, the joint is well past saving.
Gurnard homes and their sealant
Gurnard is close to the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Gurnard has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room.
Managing a site like Gurnard Primary School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
