Remedial sealant & repairs in Patching, West Sussex
Problem with your failed sealant joints in Patching? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
- Black mould underneath the bead
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
Why act early in Patching
Mould under a bead can’t be reached by cleaning. The layers have to come out, so the joint can be treated and resealed. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Patching, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.

About our remedial sealant in Patching
Getting old sealant out properly is slow, careful work. We cut out every layer, clear the residue and degrease the surfaces, without scratching tiles, trays or frames. Only then can new sealant bond. If you’re dealing with gaps opening along the back of the worktop and torn expansion joints, we can put it right, on shrunken worktop sealant, botched or over-sealed joints and leaking tray & enclosure joints alike.
Homes around Patching are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats. The work is the same as anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Common questions in Patching
Will you come out to Patching?
Yes. Patching is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Goring-By-Sea station?

What does remedial sealant cost?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. For a quick quote, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing and where.
How long before the joint can be used?
Cure times vary by product. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
Can old silicone be taken off without scratching the tiles?
Yes. We cut and lift the old sealant with tools suited to the surface, then clean off the residue. Any existing damage is pointed out before we start.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
We’ll suggest a colour to suit the surroundings, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
What we are called out for in Patching
Sealant needs a clean, dry surface with no grease on it. Residue, moisture or dust left in the joint weaken the bond, and the joint starts to come away early.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Torn expansion joints
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
- Black mould underneath the bead
Rented homes near Goring-By-Sea station change hands often, and a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.

- How the colour is chosen

What affects the cost of remedial sealant
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- The product the joint needs
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- How much there is to do
- How easy the joints are to reach
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- How we’d reach the joints
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- Where the property is

Should I try it myself first?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
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.

Remedial sealant in Patching: local notes
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you look after a building such as Clapham and Patching CofE Primary 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. In the older streets around The Parish Church of St John the Divine, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
