Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Monk's Gate
In Monk's Gate, as anywhere, remedial jobs tend to look alike: 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. We work on shrunken worktop sealant, failed movement joints and mouldy bath & shower sealant, and people most often call us about worktop sealant that has shrunk and split and smears and lumps from a botched reseal.
In a village or hamlet like Monk's Gate, 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.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

What happens on the day
There is not much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The job generally takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. In a small place like Monk's Gate, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- Surrounding tiles, trays and frames are protected first.
- The botched or failed sealant is cut away completely.
- The joint is degreased and checked for movement and leaks.
- New sealant goes in once the joint is dry, and is tooled smooth.
- We give you the cure time and explain what caused the failure.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Tell us about any water getting in
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Do you need remedial sealant in Monk's Gate?
Products get mixed up: caulk where it gets wet, rigid sealant where things move, or an acetoxy silicone on a surface it can mark. None of them last.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
For landlords with property near Horsham station, a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.
What your quote should include
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- What the cure time is
- What guarantee comes with the work
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
Common questions in Monk's Gate
Is Monk's Gate within the area you cover?
Yes, Monk's Gate is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is Monk's Gate in your area for remedial sealant?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Monk's Gate is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Where are you based?
We’re a Crawley-based firm. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured.
How long does remedial resealing take?
The number of joints and layers decides it. You’ll have a timescale before any work begins.
Can old silicone be taken off without scratching the tiles?
Yes, with care. We cut and lift the old sealant with tools suited to the surface, and the residue is cleaned away. Any existing damage is pointed out before any work starts.
Can I do it myself?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Can you match the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Quotes for remedial sealant in Monk's Gate
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The amount of work
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The number of rooms or windows
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- If someone has resealed it before
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- The rough size of the job
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or email us if that’s easier. Describe what needs sealing and we will talk you through the work and send you a clear quote.
Different surfaces, different methods
Over-sealed & botched joints
Previous removal attempts can leave scratches or gouges. We work carefully to avoid adding to it, and point out any existing damage.
Windows & doors
A frame that keeps leaking may not be the mastic. If the frame joint isn’t the cause, we will say so.
DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, 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.
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, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Remedial sealant in Monk's Gate: local notes
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
In the older streets around Church of the Good Shepherd, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. If you look after a building such as St Andrew's CofE Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
