Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Lidsey
Movement and expansion joints fail when the sealant cannot stretch. We cut out the failed sealant and set the depth with backing, then a flexible sealant matched to the movement goes in. We’re often asked to deal with worktop sealant that has shrunk and split and products that weren’t meant for the joint, across mouldy bath & shower sealant, failed movement joints and expansion joints.
Around Lidsey, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. The work is the same as anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Signs you need remedial sealant in Lidsey
A lot of failed joints have been sealed over rather than replaced. Silicone does not bond to silicone, so the top layer lifts and water and mould collect between the two.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
If you look after a building such as Aldingbourne Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
What to look for in a quote
- What the cure time is
- What happens if the job turns out different
- Who turns up on the day
- What product goes in the joint
What happens if it’s left?
Remedial work takes longer than a straight reseal, but not by much: it takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. Compared with chasing the same leak every few months, it’s time well spent. Older cottages and farmhouses around Lidsey can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
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.

Remedial sealant in Lidsey: local notes
Lidsey is close to the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
Homes close to The Parish Church of St Mary include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. If you let a flat or house near Barnham station, a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.
Lidsey is about 2 miles north-east of Bognor Regis, in West Sussex. Lidsey gets the same service as everywhere we cover: the old material taken out, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.

Surface by surface
Leaking trays & enclosures
Repeat shower leaks often come from a tray that flexes or an enclosure sealed in the wrong place. Both are checked before we reseal.
Over-sealed & botched joints
Thick, smeared sealant looks messy and hides problems. Taking it back shows what’s underneath, then reseal neatly.
How the visit works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and clear up. It normally takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. In a small place like Lidsey, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Surrounding tiles, trays and frames are protected first.
- Every layer of failed sealant is stripped out.
- The joint is degreased and checked for movement and leaks.
- Once dry, a suitable sealant is applied and tooled.
- We give you the cure time and explain what caused the failure.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
