Pilley Bailey homes and their sealant
Pilley Bailey is close to the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. 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.
In the older streets around Saint Nicholas Chapel, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. Schools such as William Gilpin Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and 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 Lymington Town station change hands often, and failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.

About our remedial sealant in Pilley Bailey

Each is stripped back and done again properly. If you have beads that never stuck properly and movement joints that have split or pulled away, we can put it right.
Around Pilley Bailey, it’s 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.

How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
- Don’t wait for a small gap to become a leak
Watch the joint over the first few weeks, particularly where the original failure was caused by movement. Should anything change, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
A split movement joint lets rain into walls and floors, and left long enough, the edges of the joint can crumble. A joint with sound edges is far easier to reseal.
Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
What we do, step by step
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building before we come, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out for a typical job. Somewhere as small as Pilley Bailey, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start by checking the joint for movement, leaks and the reason it failed.
- Every layer of old sealant is cut and cleaned out.
- We clean the joint, treat any mould and let it dry.
- We use the right backing and sealant for any joint that moves.
- Finally we finish the joint and talk you through what we found.
Getting ready for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Why deal with it now?
A joint that has failed twice will fail again unless the cause is dealt with. Taking time to find the cause, whether it’s movement, a leak or the wrong product, is what stops it happening again. Older cottages and farmhouses around Pilley Bailey can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.
