Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Nettlestone
With more than 20 years’ experience, our applicators have seen most of the ways sealant can fail. We are ARBOMaster approved and fully insured, and every remedial job comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re often asked to deal with products that weren’t meant for the joint and thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles, on leaking tray & enclosure joints, shrunken worktop sealant and mouldy bath & shower sealant.
Somewhere as small as Nettlestone, 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.
All our work is covered by our 12-month guarantee.

Your questions about remedial sealant in Nettlestone
I let a flat near Smallbrook Junction station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Do you work in hotels near Nettlestone?
Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
Where are you based?
We’re based in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator and we are fully insured too.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is usually more efficient.
Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
- Check trays and worktops don’t move
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
- Never seal over old silicone
Where we’ve pointed out another fault, have it put right, because the new sealant cannot hold back a problem underneath.
Warning signs: sealant lifting at the ends, a second bead visible on top of the first, black mould under the silicone, or stains below a bathroom. Each one is worth getting looked at.
Remedial sealant around Nettlestone
Nettlestone 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.
Rented homes near Smallbrook Junction station change hands often, and a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty. Schools such as Nettlestone Primary School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Surface by surface
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.
Movement & expansion joints
Bonding on three sides is a common reason movement joints tear. Backing rod or bond-breaker tape prevents it, letting the sealant flex between the two faces.
Common problems we fix in Nettlestone
Movement tears sealant that isn’t designed for it. A bath that flexes, a tray that rocks or a building joint that opens and closes will split a rigid or thin bead.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
- A second bead peeling off the first
- Beads that never stuck properly
In the older streets around St. Helen's Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
What your quote should include

- Whether the sealant suits the joint

How it works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The job generally takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied, including the tidy-up. Somewhere like Nettlestone needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We look at how the sealant has failed and check for movement or a leak path.
- Every layer of old sealant is cut and cleaned out.
- The joint is cleaned, treated for mould and left to dry.
- Where the joint moves, backing and a flexible sealant suited to the movement go in.
- Finally we finish the joint and talk you through what we found.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention any parking rules near the property
