About our remedial sealant in Magham Down
Getting old sealant out properly is slow, careful work. We cut out every layer, clear the residue and degrease the surfaces, taking care not to scratch the surfaces around it. New sealant only bonds to a clean, dry joint. We work on expansion joints, shrunken worktop sealant and failed movement joints, and common reasons people get in touch are torn expansion joints and sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted.
Somewhere as small as Magham Down, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

The process
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. For a village or hamlet like Magham Down, 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.
- We protect the surfaces around the joint.
- Every layer of failed sealant is stripped out.
- The joint is degreased and checked for movement and leaks.
- New sealant goes in once the joint is dry, and is tooled smooth.
- You get the cure time and our view on why the joint failed.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
Getting a quote
Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location and its rough size. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we will come back to you with a quote.
Advice
What happens if it’s left?
Another bead over the top will not fix a failed joint. It can’t bond to what’s underneath, leaving the leak in place and one more layer to cut out later. In a small place like Magham Down, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

I let a flat near Polegate station. Can you help?

What does remedial sealant cost?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Call for a quick quote.
Do the sealants smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
What should I tell you?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few pictures.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
We will suggest a colour to suit the surroundings. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
What if resealing won’t fix my leak?
We check for that before we reseal. If we find the leak is elsewhere, we tell you before going further.
What we’re called out for in Magham Down
Movement tears sealant that isn’t designed for it. Flexing baths, rocking trays and building movement joints will split a rigid or thin bead.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
- A second bead peeling off the first
- Black mould underneath the bead
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Hailsham Community College, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Deal with small splits early
- Run the fan after every shower
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
If the joint ever needs renewing, have it cut out, not sealed over. New silicone doesn’t bond to old, so the old bead should always come out first.
Leaks through failed sealant grow over time. Each use pushes more water behind the bead, into floors, walls or ceilings. Sorting it early limits the damage.
Magham Down homes and their sealant
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Letting a property close to Polegate station? Then botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.

DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
