Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
- Act on a lifting corner straight away
- Find out why the sealant failed first
If the joint ever needs renewing, have it cut out, not sealed over. Over-sealing is how many remedial jobs start.
A split movement joint lets rain into walls and floors, and left long enough, the edges of the joint can crumble. A joint with sound edges is far easier to reseal.
Remedial sealant in Ingrams Green
Remedial jobs in Ingrams Green normally fall into a few patterns: over-sealed joints, hidden mould, repeat leaks and split movement joints. Each is stripped back and done again properly. If you have sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted and black mould underneath the bead, we can help.
In a village or hamlet like Ingrams Green, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee in Ingrams Green and across West Sussex.

Common problems we fix in Ingrams Green
Movement tears sealant that is not designed for it. A bath that flexes, a tray that rocks or a building joint that opens and closes will split a rigid or thin bead.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- A second bead peeling off the first
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
For jobs in and around Ingrams Green, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

What we cannot put right
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Movement from fittings that are not supported

- Water damage behind tiles that needs a tiler
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly before booking.

DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
