Remedial sealant in Pulborough
A joint that keeps failing normally has a reason. A tray that moves, a worktop that is not fixed, the wrong sealant or water getting in elsewhere will beat any new bead. We look for the cause before we reseal. If you have floor or wall movement joints that have failed and black mould underneath the bead, we can help, whatever the surface.
Around Pulborough, you will mostly find houses and bungalows, some older and some much newer. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do in a big town.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- A bath, tray or worktop that moves until it’s properly fixed
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Failed movement joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints

- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Expansion joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
What we are called out for in Pulborough
One of the commonest remedial jobs is sealant on top of sealant. New silicone can’t stick to the old bead, so the top layer lifts and water and mould collect between the two.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
Homes close to The Parish Church of St Mary include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

How it works
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we are doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work starts. The work usually takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. In a smaller place like Pulborough, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- First we find out how and where the joint has failed.
- All the old sealant comes out, including any layers underneath.
- We clean the joint, treat any mould and let it dry.
- Moving joints get backing and a flexible sealant to suit.
- We tool the joint and tell you about anything else that needs attention.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Why act early in Pulborough
Leaks that are left keep doing damage out of sight: soaked floorboards, ceiling stains below and blown plaster. By comparison, sorting the joint is quick. In an older home around Pulborough, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.

Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
If we’ve found a cause, such as a loose tray or a leaking waste, get it fixed, because the new sealant cannot hold back a problem underneath.
If a joint has failed more than once, stop resealing it. Have someone find out why, or the next bead will go the same way.
Surface by surface
Worktops & kitchens
Kitchen joints often have grease and cleaning residue deep in them, so cleaning takes longer than in a bathroom before resealing.
Movement & expansion joints
A movement joint must be able to stretch. We remove the failed sealant, fit backing and reseal with a low-modulus product.
