About our remedial sealant in Itchingfield
Some sealant jobs aren’t a simple reseal, because someone has already had a go. New sealant over old, smeared beads, unsuitable products and hidden mould all need stripping out before the joint can be done properly. If you are dealing with sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared and over-sealed joints coming away, we can help.
Somewhere as small as Itchingfield, 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.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

Different surfaces, different methods
Movement & expansion joints
Movement joints in floors, walls and façades need a flexible sealant set to the right depth. We remove the failed sealant, fit backing and reseal.
Leaking trays & enclosures
Repeat shower leaks often come from a tray that flexes or an enclosure sealed in the wrong place. We check both before any new sealant goes on.

When to call us in Itchingfield
Some joints fail because water is reaching them from behind. A leaking valve, a failed waste or cracked grout feeds water behind the bead, and the sealant lifts or goes mouldy from underneath.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
If you live in an older home near The Parish Church of St Nicolas, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
Questions to ask before you book
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- How hidden problems are handled
- How much experience the applicator has
- Which colour the sealant will be

Itchingfield: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Itchingfield?
Yes. Itchingfield is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.

Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in.
Someone sealed over the old bead. Can you fix it?
Yes. It’s slower than a standard reseal, because every layer has to come out cleanly, but it’s the only way the new joint will last.
Does remedial work come with a guarantee?
Yes, with our 12-month guarantee. If we’ve pointed out another problem, getting it fixed helps the new joint last.
What should I tell you?
A short description and the location, plus pictures if you have them. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
Is it messy?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.

Why act early in Itchingfield
DIY removal often leaves scratches and a film of residue, and any film left behind stops new sealant sticking. Careful removal is most of a remedial job. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Itchingfield, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
