Petworth Remedial Sealant
Removing failed, mouldy or leaking sealant and putting it right in Petworth, with a 12-month guarantee on every job. Ask us for a quote.
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
What happens if it’s left?
Spraying mould remover on a sealed-over joint does not reach what’s underneath. The layers have to come out, and the joint treated and dried before resealing. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Petworth, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Combining jobs into one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We’ll give you a clear quote for the lot.

Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Petworth
Two decades of sealant work means we recognise most failures quickly. We are ARBOMaster approved and fully insured, and remedial work carries our 12-month guarantee. Common call-outs are for sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared and a second bead peeling off the first, on leaking tray & enclosure joints, botched or over-sealed joints and shrunken worktop sealant.
Homes around Petworth are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
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.
What we do, step by step
All our tools and materials come with us in the van. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. Somewhere like Petworth needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We protect the surfaces around the joint.
- Every layer of failed sealant is stripped out.
- We clean and degrease the joint and look for signs of movement or water.
- New sealant goes in once the joint is dry, and is tooled smooth.
- You get the cure time and our view on why the joint failed.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Questions from Petworth
I let a flat near Pulborough station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Do you cover Petworth for remedial sealant?

What do you put in the joint?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Do the sealants smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.

Yes, with care. 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 any work starts.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
Should I try DIY first?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
What if resealing will not fix my leak?
Then we explain what we’ve found. You may need a plumber or bathroom fitter.
How we quote for remedial sealant
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The product the joint needs
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Access and height
Every job is a little different, 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
To make quoting easier, please include:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- The address or postcode of the job
- Whether it has been sealed before
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we’ll talk you through what we’d do. When it suits you, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Run the fan after every shower
- Do not wait for a small gap to become a leak
- Don’t add new sealant on top of old
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
Watch the joint over the first few weeks, especially if movement was the problem. If anything changes, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Don’t keep resealing the same joint. Have someone find out why, otherwise the next attempt will fail too.
