How we handle remedial sealant in Lodsworth
Remedial jobs in Lodsworth generally fall into a few patterns: sealant over sealant, mould under the bead, leaks that come back and movement joints that have split. Each is stripped back and done again properly. If you’re dealing with floor or wall movement joints that have failed and beads that never stuck properly, we can put it right.
In a village or hamlet like Lodsworth, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Lodsworth and everywhere else we cover.

What remedial sealant looks like in Lodsworth
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
Homes close to The Parish Church of St Peter include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

Questions from Lodsworth
Is remedial sealant in Lodsworth guaranteed?
All our work, in Lodsworth and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Is Lodsworth within the area you cover?
Yes, Lodsworth is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you remove old sealant without damaging the bath?
Yes. Careful removal is most of a remedial job, particularly on softer surfaces like acrylic.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes, regularly. Several properties can go on one quote.
What should I tell you?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
My shower still leaks after a reseal. Can you sort it?
Yes. Repeat leaks usually come from over-sealing, movement or water getting in elsewhere, so we find that first.
What if resealing will not fix my leak?
We will tell you. A cracked tray, faulty valve or leaking waste needs a different trade, and we won’t reseal for the sake of it.
Can you match the sealant colour?
We’ll suggest a colour to suit the surroundings. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
When to call us in Lodsworth
Joints that move need sealant that can stretch. Flexing baths, rocking trays and building movement joints will split a rigid or thin bead.
Look out for any of the following:
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- Beads that never stuck properly
In and around Lodsworth, as anywhere, good remedial sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Questions to ask before booking

What happens if it’s left?
Spraying mould remover on a sealed-over joint doesn’t reach what’s underneath. Removal is the only way to get at it. Older cottages and farmhouses around Lodsworth can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Combining jobs into one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

DIY versus a professional finish
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
What affects the quote in Lodsworth
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- The number and length of the joints
- Access and height
- How many areas need sealing
- Any mould that needs treating
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we will explain what it covers.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- If someone has resealed it before
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we’ll explain how we’d tackle it. When it suits you, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
How the job changes by surface
Worktops & kitchens
Kitchen joints often have grease and cleaning residue deep in them, so we spend extra time cleaning before resealing.
Leaking trays & enclosures
Where the joints are the problem, every bead is stripped and resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone, including the screen profile and tray edges.
How the visit works
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. For a village or hamlet like Lodsworth, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We start by checking the joint for movement, leaks and the reason it failed.
- Every layer of old sealant is cut and cleaned out.
- The joint is cleaned, treated for mould and left to dry.
- We use the right backing and sealant for any joint that moves.
- Finally we finish the joint and talk you through what we found.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Getting a quote is simple: let us know what needs doing and where, and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we will take it from there.
