Remedial sealant in Highbrook
Removing failed sealant is the hardest part of the job. We cut out every layer, clear the residue and degrease the surfaces, without scratching tiles, trays or frames. New sealant only bonds to a clean, dry joint. If you have torn expansion joints and caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Highbrook, 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.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

Common questions in Highbrook
Can you do remedial sealant in Highbrook?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Highbrook is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing.
Will you come out to Highbrook?
Yes, Highbrook is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can failed expansion joints be resealed?
Yes. Backing sets the depth and stops the sealant sticking to the back, which lets it stretch.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Most of the time, yes. We’ll explain which colours are available.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is usually more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Can you strip sealant from an acrylic tray safely?
Yes. Careful removal is most of a remedial job, especially on acrylic, enamel and uPVC.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Landlords and agents in Highbrook can book us as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
What happens on the day
You do not need to clear the whole room or building, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied for a typical job. In a small place like Highbrook, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- 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.
- We clean the joint, treat any mould and let it dry.
- We use the right backing and sealant for any joint that moves.
- The new joint is tooled neatly and we explain anything else we found.
Before we arrive
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Mention any tricky access

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
- Deal with small splits early
- Don’t add new sealant on top of old
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
If the joint ever needs renewing, have it cut out, not sealed over. New silicone doesn’t bond to old.
If a joint has failed more than once, stop resealing it. Have someone find out why, otherwise the next attempt will fail too.
What remedial sealant looks like in Highbrook
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
If you look after a building such as St Peter's CofE Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. In the older streets around All Saints Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

DIY versus a professional finish
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
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, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
What the job involves on each surface
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Mould often spreads under the bead as well as through it. We treat the exposed joint once the bead is out.
Worktops & kitchens
If a worktop moves when you lean on it, the sealant will keep splitting. It needs fixing down first, which we’ll point out.
Do you need remedial sealant in Highbrook?
Sealant needs a clean, dry surface with no grease on it. Soap film, dust, damp or old residue stop it gripping, so it starts lifting sooner than it should.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Over-sealed joints coming away
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
- Torn expansion joints
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
Letting a property close to Balcombe station? Then a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.
