How the job changes by surface
Movement & expansion joints
Some movement joints have been filled with mortar or grout. Where it can be raked out, we replace it with flexible sealant.
Worktops & kitchens
Old kitchen sealant pulls back from the wall over time. It’s cut out, degreased and resealed colour-matched to the worktop.
About our remedial sealant in Hooe Common
If a joint fails again and again, something is causing it. A tray that moves, a worktop that isn’t fixed, the wrong sealant or water getting in elsewhere will defeat even a perfect bead. We look for the cause before we reseal. We work on shrunken worktop sealant, failed movement joints and expansion joints, and common reasons people get in touch are smears and lumps from a botched reseal and repeat leaks from the same joint.
Being in a small place like Hooe Common makes no difference to the job itself: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. Once we are there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Hooe Common and across East Sussex.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Run the fan after every shower
- Deal with small splits early
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
- Do not point over movement joints
Don’t let anyone seal over it later. New silicone does not bond to old, so the old bead should always come out first.
Mould under a second layer of sealant keeps growing out of sight. When it finally shows, the whole bead needs to come out.
How it works
Once we’re on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. For a village or hamlet like Hooe Common, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- The failure is looked at first, so we know whether it’s sealant, movement or water from elsewhere.
- Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off.
- We treat any mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The right product goes in, with backing where the joint moves.
- The joint is tooled and you are told about anything else we found.
Preparing for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Should I try it myself first?
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 fails, we can still redo it.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- A bath, tray or worktop that moves until it’s properly fixed
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
- A leaking trap, valve or supply pipe
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What remedial sealant looks like in Hooe Common
Hooe Common is close to 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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Ninfield Church of England Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. Homes close to The Parish Church of St Mary include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. Rented homes near Cooden Beach station change hands often, and failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.
