How the job changes by surface
Worktops & kitchens
Kitchen joints often have grease and cleaning residue deep in them, so we spend extra time cleaning.
Windows & doors
Frames resealed over the top end up with hard, layered mastic. All of it is cut out and the frame and wall cleaned before backing and resealing.
How it works
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we’re treating. Expect the work to take a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. Somewhere like High Hurstwood needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We look at how the sealant has failed and check for movement or a leak path.
- Every layer of old sealant is cut and cleaned out.
- 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

- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Should I try it myself first?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Why act early in High Hurstwood
Remedial work takes longer than a straight reseal, but not by much: it takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. Compared with chasing the same leak every few months, it’s time well spent. Around High Hurstwood, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
The cost depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before we start, so you know where you stand.
Why book with us
- A sealant colour to suit the surroundings
- White, clear, grey or another colour, product permitting
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild

Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
- Do not point over movement joints
- Never seal over old silicone
If we have found a cause, such as a loose tray or a leaking waste, get it fixed, because the new sealant can’t hold back a problem underneath.
A split movement joint lets rain into walls and floors, and the longer it’s left, the more the joint edges break down. A joint with sound edges is far easier to reseal.
Remedial sealant in High Hurstwood: local notes
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
Managing a site like High Hurstwood Church of England Primary School? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. For an older house near a landmark such as Holy Trinity Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. If you let a flat or house near Buxted station, botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.
