About our remedial sealant in Newdigate
A joint that keeps letting you down needs more than another bead. It helps to have photos when you phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email, and say how long ago it was last done. Common call-outs are for kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop and floor or wall movement joints that have failed, across failed movement joints, shrunken worktop sealant and botched or over-sealed joints.
Somewhere as small as Newdigate, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Newdigate homes and their sealant
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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Newdigate CofE Endowed Aided Infant School, washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes. Rented homes near Holmwood station change hands often, and failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Do not point over movement joints
- Clean sealant with mild products only
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
- Keep the room well ventilated
Leave the new joint to cure fully before it gets wet or moves: normally around 24 hours, or as long as we advise.
Mould trapped under over-sealed joints spreads unseen. When it finally shows, the whole bead needs to come out.
When it is not the sealant
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Cracks in the fitting rather than the joint
- A tray or worktop that needs refixing first
- Failed tanking or loose tiles behind the sealant
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal
- Expansion joints
- Failed movement joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
How it works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we don’t rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it usually takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. In a small place like Newdigate, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we find out how and where the joint has failed.
- 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.
- The new joint is tooled neatly and we explain anything else we found.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Why deal with it now?
Mould under a bead cannot be reached by cleaning. The layers have to come out, so the joint can be treated and resealed. Around Newdigate, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first and send you a clear quote before we start.
Why us?
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet

Take a look at what affects the cost and customer reviews.
What affects the cost of remedial sealant
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- The product the joint needs
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The number and length of the joints
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Helping us quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- The type of property
- Roughly how big the job is
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we will come back to you with a quote.
What we are called out for in Newdigate
Some joints fail because water is reaching them from behind. A leaking valve, a failed waste or cracked grout feeds water behind the bead, and the sealant lifts or goes mouldy from underneath.
Look out for any of the following:
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Peter, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
DIY versus a professional finish
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, 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 need the right product, the right access and the right method.
