About our remedial sealant in Pyecombe
Two decades of sealant work means we recognise most failures quickly. We are ARBOMaster approved and fully insured, and remedial work carries our one-year guarantee. We’re often asked to deal with sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface and movement joints that have split or pulled away, across mouldy bath & shower sealant, botched or over-sealed joints and leaking tray & enclosure joints.
Around Pyecombe, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. The work is the same as anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Leave it or put it right?
Adding more sealant is the usual quick fix, and it rarely works. It doesn’t grip the old layer, so the leak carries on and there’s now more to remove. Older cottages and farmhouses around Pyecombe can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.
Why book with us
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
- Sealant colour chosen to suit
- Old sealant always removed completely

What remedial sealant looks like in Pyecombe
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.
For landlords with property near Hassocks station, failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of the Transfiguration, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

What else we do in Pyecombe

Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.

How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Check trays and worktops don’t move
- Run the fan after every shower
- Check ceilings under showers for marks
- Do not add new sealant on top of old
Watch the joint over the first few weeks, particularly where the original failure was caused by movement. Should anything change, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Don’t keep resealing the same joint. Get the cause found first, otherwise the next attempt will fail too.
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 need the right product, the right access and the right method.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into 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.

Surface by surface
Windows & doors
Smeared or badly matched mastic can be cut out and redone neatly, matched to the frame colour.
Leaking trays & enclosures
When failed joints are the cause, they’re all cut out and renewed, tray edges and screen profiles included.
Do you need remedial sealant in Pyecombe?
Even good sealant ages. Over the years it shrinks, hardens and gets colonised by mould. Then the only fix is removal and a new bead.
The most common problems we see are:
- Black mould underneath the bead
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
- Beads that never stuck properly
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
If you look after a building such as Downlands Community School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
