Remedial sealant in Highwood, done properly
A joint that keeps failing generally has a reason. Movement, the wrong product or a leak from somewhere else will beat any new bead. We look for the cause before we reseal. We work on expansion joints, leaking tray & enclosure joints and mouldy bath & shower sealant, and the jobs we see most are thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles and mould trapped under a layer of silicone.
Being in a small place like Highwood makes no difference to the job itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

When to call us in Highwood
A lot of failed joints have been sealed over rather than replaced. Silicone doesn’t bond to silicone, so the new layer peels, and damp and mould settle between them.
Look out for these signs:
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
If you look after a building such as Poulner Infant School, washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.
What your quote should include
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- Which colour the sealant will be
- What product goes in the joint

Why act early in Highwood
Leaks that are left keep doing damage out of sight: wet floors, stained ceilings and swollen worktops. Dealing with the joint now is a small job by comparison. Older cottages and farmhouses around Highwood can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before we start.
Why book with us
- We’re fully insured
- Over 20 years’ experience
- Colour agreed with you before work begins
- White, clear, grey or another colour, product permitting

How we quote for remedial sealant
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The number of rooms or windows
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Access and height
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.
What to tell us for a quote
To help us quote quickly, let us know:
- How we’d reach the joints
- Whether it has been sealed before
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job. Whenever you are ready, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Do not point over movement joints
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
Ventilation keeps mould away from the new bead: use the extractor or open a window after showering.
Signs to act on: peeling layers, mould showing through the bead, leaks after showering or cracks in a movement joint. Any of them means it’s time for remedial work.
Highwood questions
Do you cover smaller places like Highwood?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you do remedial sealant in Highwood?
Yes, Highwood is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
How long does remedial resealing take?
Allow a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. You will know the timing when we quote.
Can you take off two layers of silicone?
Yes. Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off, before resealing with a single bead.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Opening a window helps.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Where are you based?
We are a Crawley-based firm. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Remedial sealant in Highwood: local notes
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
For an older house near a landmark such as St John the Baptist, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

- First we find out how and where the joint has failed.
- We strip the joint completely, removing any layers below.
- We clean the joint, treat any mould and let it 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
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Can I do it myself?
If you’re 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 fails, we can still redo it.
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.
