Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
- Act on a lifting corner straight away
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
If we’ve found a cause, such as a loose tray or a leaking waste, get it fixed, or the new joint may fail again.
If a joint has failed more than once, stop resealing it. Get the cause found first, or the next bead will go the same way.
Remedial sealant in Hambrook: local notes
Hambrook is within about 2 miles of the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Homes close to St Wilfrid's Church and Hall include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Chidham Parochial Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
Hambrook is about 5 miles west of Chichester, in West Sussex.

What we do, step by step
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, carry out the job and tidy away. It generally takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. Somewhere like Hambrook needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We start by checking the joint for movement, leaks and the reason it failed.
- All the old sealant comes out, including any layers underneath.
- 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.
- The new joint is tooled neatly and we explain anything else we found.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention any tricky access
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Can I do it myself?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Common problems we fix in Hambrook
All sealant wears out eventually. Over the years it shrinks, hardens and gets colonised by mould. At that point it has to come out.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Beads that never stuck properly
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
Rented homes near Nutbourne station change hands often, and failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.

Your questions about remedial sealant in Hambrook
Is Hambrook in your area for remedial sealant?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Hambrook is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Will you come out to Hambrook?
Yes. Hambrook is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Someone sealed over the old bead. Can you fix it?
Yes. Both layers come out; new silicone doesn’t bond to old silicone, which is why over-sealing fails.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Does someone need to be in?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We have worked for hotels, offices and other businesses.
Can failed expansion joints be resealed?
Yes. Backing sets the depth and stops the sealant sticking to the back, which lets it stretch.
What affects the quote in Hambrook
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The number and length of the joints
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What to tell us for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- The address or postcode of the job
- If someone has resealed it before
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is.
For landlords and businesses
We also work for property managers and facilities teams in Hambrook and across West Sussex. We can quote a run of properties together.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Surface by surface
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Mould can sit behind the silicone, not just in it. We treat the exposed joint once the bead is out.
Worktops & kitchens
Kitchen joints often have grease and cleaning residue deep in them, so cleaning takes longer than in a bathroom before resealing.
