Remedial Sealant in Hookwood
Our applicators work in Hookwood on removing failed, mouldy or leaking sealant and putting it right. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly.
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
- A second bead peeling off the first
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
When it is not the sealant
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’ll tell you before work begins. Sealant won’t put right:
- Movement from fittings that are not supported
- A tray or bath that is cracked
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Expansion joints
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Failed movement joints
Remedial sealant in Hookwood, done properly
A movement joint stops working when its sealant splits or sets hard. We cut out the failed sealant and set the depth with backing, then a flexible sealant matched to the movement goes in. If you have decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower and mould trapped under a layer of silicone, we can help, on mouldy bath & shower sealant, shrunken worktop sealant and leaking tray & enclosure joints alike.
Somewhere as small as Hookwood, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Common questions in Hookwood
Do you work for landlords with property near Horley station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can be quoted together. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Is Hookwood within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Someone resealed my shower and it’s leaking again. Can you help?
Yes. There’s generally a reason: sealant over sealant, movement or another leak, so we find that first.
Can you take off two layers of silicone?
Yes. We remove every layer; over-sealing fails because silicone will not bond to silicone.
Can I do it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Where do you work from?
We’re based in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
How it works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we don’t rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it usually takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. In a small place like Hookwood, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.
- We treat any mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The right product goes in, with backing where the joint moves.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Bathrooms and kitchens in Hookwood
There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Hookwood. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room. 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.
Homes close to Church of St Bartholomew include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. Rented homes near Horley station change hands often, and botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.

How we quote for remedial sealant
We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The size of the job
- Which sealant suits the joint
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
What we need to know
You do not need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- Where the property is
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- The type of property
To get a quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the location and a short description of the problem. We will give you a clear price before any work starts.
Surface by surface
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Where mould keeps coming back, ventilation is generally part of the cause. Along with resealing, we’ll mention if the room needs better ventilation.
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.
What we are called out for in Hookwood
Even good sealant ages. Over the years it shrinks, hardens and gets colonised by mould, especially in damp, poorly aired rooms. Then the only fix is removal and a new bead.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
- Beads that never stuck properly
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
Schools such as Manorfield Primary and Nursery School are buildings too, and 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.
