How we handle remedial sealant in Hollingdean
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. Only then can new sealant bond. We work on shrunken worktop sealant, failed movement joints and expansion joints, and the jobs we see most are movement joints that have split or pulled away and mould trapped under a layer of silicone.
Homes around Hollingdean range from older cottages to more recent houses. In older homes, walls and floors can move a little more, so the right flexible sealant matters.
Every job is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Brighton and Hove.

What we do, step by step
On the day, we start by going over the job with you. We protect the surfaces around the joints before work begins. The work usually takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. In a smaller place like Hollingdean, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- We look at how the sealant has failed and check for movement or a leak path.
- We strip the joint completely, removing any layers below.
- Next, any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We use the right backing and sealant for any joint that moves.
- We tool the joint and tell you about anything else that needs attention.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

FAQs for Hollingdean
Will you come out to Hollingdean?
Yes, Hollingdean is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Hollingdean?
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.
Will there be a smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access.
What if the leak isn’t the sealant?
We check for that before we reseal. If we find the leak is elsewhere, we tell you before going further.
Is it messy?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
Signs you need remedial sealant in Hollingdean
Water from somewhere else can ruin a good seal. A slow leak behind the tiles soaks the joint from the back, and the sealant lifts or goes mouldy from underneath.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Over-sealed joints coming away
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
- Torn expansion joints
In the older streets around St Richard's, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

How the job changes by surface
Movement & expansion joints
Bonding on three sides is a common reason movement joints tear. Backing rod or bond-breaker tape prevents it, letting the sealant flex between the two faces.
Windows & doors
Some leaks around windows come from the wall or the window itself. We check the joint and tell you if it looks to be something else.
Why it’s worth doing now in Hollingdean
It’s easy to scratch acrylic, enamel or an uPVC frame cutting out old sealant, and the residue left behind stops the next bead bonding. Careful stripping is where most of our time goes. In an older home around Hollingdean, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Find out why the sealant failed first
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
Go easy on the new sealant: no scraping, scouring pads or harsh chemicals.
Mould under a second layer of sealant keeps growing out of sight. When it finally shows, the whole bead needs to come out.
