About our remedial sealant in Roedean
Remedial work is what we do when sealant has failed or been done badly. New sealant over old, smeared beads, unsuitable products and hidden mould all have to come out before the joint can be done properly. If you have worktop sealant that has shrunk and split and beads that never stuck properly, we can help, on failed movement joints, botched or over-sealed joints and shrunken worktop sealant alike.
For a small place like Roedean, remedial sealant is planned like any other job: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Why act early in Roedean
DIY removal often leaves scratches and a film of residue, and any film left behind stops new sealant sticking. Careful removal is most of a remedial job. Older cottages and farmhouses around Roedean can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.
Why book with us
- Colour agreed with you before we start
- 20+ years of sealant experience
- We’re fully insured
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
Surface by surface
Movement & expansion joints
Bonding on three sides is a common reason movement joints tear. Backing stops that, so the sealant grips the two sides only.
Windows & doors
Smeared or badly matched mastic can be cut out and redone neatly, in a colour that suits the frame.
How we quote for remedial sealant
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- When we can work, for business premises
- The size of the job
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Mould in or behind the old joints
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- The type of property
- Where the property is
- Roughly how big the job is
Getting a quote is simple: let us know what needs doing and where. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we’ll take it from there.
Honest limits
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Older mastics that may need an asbestos check before removal
- A leaking trap, valve or supply pipe
- Failed tanking or loose tiles behind the sealant
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Roedean: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords with property near Brighton station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Do you take on hotel work around Roedean?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few pictures.
Can you reseal a split movement joint?
Yes. Where mortar or filler has been used instead of sealant, it’s removed where it can be, and reseal with a flexible product.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Where are you based?
We work from Crawley. We cover Roedean and the rest of Brighton and Hove, along with the rest of our area.
When is the sealant fully cured?
It depends on the product. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
Can you take off two layers of silicone?
Yes. It’s slower than a standard reseal, because every layer has to come out cleanly, but it’s what makes the new bead last.
Landlord and commercial work in Roedean
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too in Roedean and across Brighton and Hove. Several sites can be quoted together, and we are fully insured.

What happens on the day
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The work itself takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied, including the tidy-up. Somewhere like Roedean needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First we find out how and where the joint has failed.
- Every layer of old sealant is cut and cleaned out.
- The joint is cleaned, treated for mould and left to dry.
- Where the joint moves, backing and a flexible sealant suited to the movement go in.
- We tool the joint and tell you about anything else that needs attention.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Bathrooms and kitchens in Roedean
Roedean is within about 1 mile of the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
For landlords with property near Brighton station, failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak. In the older streets around St Mark's Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. Managing a site like St Mark's CofE Primary School? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
