Remedial sealant in Lickfold
In Lickfold, as anywhere, remedial jobs tend to look alike: over-sealed joints, hidden mould, repeat leaks and split movement joints. Each is stripped back and done again properly. If you’re dealing with caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area and sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted, we can help, whatever the surface.
Around Lickfold, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats. The work is the same as anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

When something else is needed
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
What we seal
- Failed movement joints
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Expansion joints
Signs you need remedial sealant in Lickfold
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.
The most common problems we see are:
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
- Black mould underneath the bead
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
Homes close to The Parish Church of St Lawrence include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, 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.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We also work for property managers and facilities teams in Lickfold and across West Sussex. Several sites can be quoted together, and we are fully insured.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
The process
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we don’t rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it generally takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. For a village or hamlet like Lickfold, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.
- Mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The right product goes in, with backing where the joint moves.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
How to prepare
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Clear the area around the work

Surface by surface
Leaking trays & enclosures
When failed joints are the cause, they’re all cut out and renewed, tray edges and screen profiles included.
Over-sealed & botched joints
Previous removal attempts can leave scratches or gouges. We take care not to make it worse, and tell you about any damage we find.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Deal with small splits early
- Don’t point over movement joints
- Never seal over old silicone
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
Give the new sealant its full cure time: follow the cure time we give you.
If a joint has failed more than once, stop resealing it. Have someone find out why, or the next bead will go the same way.
Lickfold homes and their sealant
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.
Rented homes near Haslemere station change hands often, and botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.
