Trusted remedial sealant in Offham

How the job changes by surface

Leaking trays & enclosures

When failed joints are the cause, they’re all cut out and renewed, including the screen profile and tray edges.

Windows & doors

Frames resealed over the top end up with hard, layered mastic. All of it is cut out and the frame and wall cleaned.

Remedial sealant in Offham, done properly

Not every leak is a sealant leak. A cracked tray, a failed shower valve or a leaking waste can look just the same. When the fault is elsewhere, we say so instead of resealing for the sake of it. Typical jobs include repeat leaks from the same joint and caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area, across leaking tray & enclosure joints, failed movement joints and expansion joints.

In a village or hamlet like Offham, 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.

All our work is covered by our 12-month guarantee.

Should I try it myself first?

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.

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.

Leave it or put it right?

Mould under a bead can’t be reached by cleaning. The layers have to come out. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Offham, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.

What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first.

How we quote for remedial sealant

You will get a clear quote before work begins. It’s based on:

  • Access and height
  • Any mould that needs treating
  • Working hours on commercial sites
  • How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove

There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Asking for a quote

A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:

  • The address or postcode of the job
  • If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
  • Any previous sealing or DIY work
  • Roughly how big the job is

Every job is quoted individually. Simply phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and describe the job and send pictures if you have them.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep the joints looking good and working properly:

  • Act on a lifting corner straight away
  • Never seal over old silicone
  • Clean sealant with mild products only
  • Check trays and worktops don’t move

If the joint ever needs renewing, have it cut out, not sealed over. Over-sealing is how many remedial jobs start, so the old bead should always come out first.

If a joint has failed more than once, stop resealing it. Get the cause found first, otherwise the next attempt will fail too.

Your questions about remedial sealant in Offham

Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Offham?

Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.

Do you work for landlords with property near Cooksbridge station?

Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.

Where are you based?

We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover Offham.

Will there be a smell?

Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.

Will the old sealant be removed?

Yes, always, and completely. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.

How long does the work take?

Allow a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. You’ll know the timing when we quote.

Can you match the sealant colour?

We help you choose a colour that suits, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The product needed can limit the range.

Are you an approved applicator?

Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme.

What we cannot put right

A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:

  • Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • A bath, tray or worktop that moves until it’s properly fixed
  • A tray or bath that is cracked

Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Where we work in Offham

Bathrooms and kitchens in Offham

There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Offham. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.

In the older streets around Church of St Peter, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. If you look after a building such as Wallands Community Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. Rented homes near Cooksbridge station change hands often, and a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.

What happens on the day

Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we do not rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it usually takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. In a small place like Offham, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.

  1. The failure is looked at first, so we know whether it’s sealant, movement or water from elsewhere.
  2. Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off.
  3. We treat any mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The right product goes in, with backing where the joint moves.
  5. We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
  • Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
  • Keep children and pets away from the work area
