Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Litlington
Remedial work is what we do when sealant has failed or been done badly. New sealant over old, smeared beads, unsuitable products and hidden mould all need stripping out. We’re often asked to deal with repeat leaks from the same joint and movement joints that have split or pulled away, across failed movement joints, expansion joints and botched or over-sealed joints.
For a small place like Litlington, remedial sealant is planned like any other job: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Once we are there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Remedial sealant around Litlington
Litlington is close to the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Homes close to The Parish Church of St Michael the Archangel include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. If you let a flat or house near Berwick (Sussex) station, a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Alfriston School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

What happens on the day
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. Somewhere as small as Litlington, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- 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.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- The joint is tooled and you’re told about anything else we found.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

What the job involves on each surface
Worktops & kitchens
If a worktop moves when you lean on it, the sealant will keep splitting. It needs fixing down first, which we will point out.
Over-sealed & botched joints
Botched joints sometimes have damaged edges from earlier scraping. We work carefully to avoid adding to it, and point out any existing damage.
Landlord and commercial work in Litlington
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. Several properties can go on one quote.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacing)
- A leaking trap, valve or supply pipe
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed

Quotes for remedial sealant in Litlington
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Whether the work is at height
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Mould in or behind the old joints
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it’s useful to know:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Photos by email, if that is easy
Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location and its rough size. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand, and we’ll take it from there.
How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Never seal over old silicone
- Find out why the sealant failed first
- Act on a lifting corner right away
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
Watch the joint over the first few weeks, particularly where the original failure was caused by movement. If anything changes, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
If a joint has failed more than once, stop resealing it. Get the cause found first, or the next bead will go the same way.
Should I try it myself first?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
