- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved

- Any mould that needs treating
- The product the joint needs
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- The address or postcode of the job
- A few photos by email, if you can
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking

How we handle remedial sealant in Lower Horncroft
Decorators’ caulk in a shower, bathroom silicone on a window, a rigid filler in a movement joint fails however neatly it’s applied. We take it out and use a sealant made for that joint. Common call-outs are for caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area and worktop sealant that has shrunk and split, across shrunken worktop sealant, mouldy bath & shower sealant and leaking tray & enclosure joints.
Being in a small place like Lower Horncroft makes no difference to the job itself: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Why act early in Lower Horncroft
Mould under a bead cannot be reached by cleaning. Removal is the only way to get at it. Older cottages and farmhouses around Lower Horncroft can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Doing several joints on one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We will give you a clear quote for the lot.

When to call us in Lower Horncroft
How a joint is built matters as much as the product. A bead bonded on three sides, or laid too thick, can’t flex, and tears at the first real movement. Backing rod or bond-breaker tape prevents it.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Agatha, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether VAT is included
- What product goes in the joint
- What insurance they hold
- What happens if the job turns out different
Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
What remedial sealant looks like in Lower Horncroft
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you let a flat or house near Pulborough station, botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants. Managing a site like Fittleworth CofE Village School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Check trays and worktops do not move
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
Where we have pointed out another fault, have it put right, or the new joint may fail again.
A failing joint rarely gets better on its own. Every shower or downpour sends more water through, into whatever is behind or below. Sorting it early limits the damage.
How it works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we don’t rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. In a small place like Lower Horncroft, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by checking the joint for movement, leaks and the reason it failed.
- We strip the joint completely, removing any layers below.
- We clean the joint, treat any mould and let it dry.
- We use the right backing and sealant for any joint that moves.
- We tool the joint and tell you about anything else that needs attention.
How to prepare
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Do the sealants smell?

How long should I leave it?
It depends on the product and the temperature. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.

When something else is needed
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
