Remedial sealant in Runcton, done properly
A joint that keeps letting you down needs more than another bead. Send photos when you call 0345 464 0079 or email us, and say how long ago it was last done. Typical jobs include dark patches showing through the sealant and caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area, on failed movement joints, shrunken worktop sealant and mouldy bath & shower sealant.
In a village or hamlet like Runcton, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
Every job comes with a 12-month guarantee.

Can I do it myself?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Runcton homes and their sealant
Runcton is close to 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. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, 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 The Parish Church of St Stephen, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. Managing a site like North Mundham Primary School? Then 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.

Questions from Runcton
Do you cover smaller places like Runcton?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Chichester station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
How long does the work take?
The number of joints and layers decides it. We will tell you before work begins.
Does remedial work come with a guarantee?
Yes. Remedial work carries the same 12-month guarantee as all our work.
Do I have to be there?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Can failed expansion joints be resealed?
Yes. Failed movement joints are cut out and resealed with backing and a flexible sealant suited to the movement.
Common problems we fix in Runcton
Joint depth matters. Sealant packed too deep, or stuck to the back of the joint as well as the sides, cannot stretch, so it tears when the joint moves. Backing rod or bond-breaker tape prevents it.
The most common problems we see are:
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
- Beads that never stuck properly
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
For landlords with property near Chichester station, botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Who turns up on the day
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- How the colour is chosen
Landlord and commercial work in Runcton
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Landlords and agents in Runcton can book us as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
Leave it or put it right?
Adding more sealant is the usual quick fix, and it rarely works. It does not grip the old layer, so the leak carries on and there’s now more to remove. Older cottages and farmhouses around Runcton can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Find out why the sealant failed first
- Keep the room well ventilated
- Deal with small splits early
- Clean sealant with mild products only
If we’ve found a cause, such as a loose tray or a leaking waste, get it fixed, because the new sealant can’t hold back a problem underneath.
A failing joint rarely gets better on its own. Every shower or downpour sends more water through, into whatever is behind or below. Early action keeps it to a sealant job.

The process
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out from start to finish. Somewhere like Runcton 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.
- We start by checking the joint for movement, leaks and the reason it failed.
- Every layer of old sealant is cut and cleaned out.
- The joint is cleaned, treated for mould and left to dry.
- Moving joints get backing and a flexible sealant to suit.
- Finally we finish the joint and talk you through what we found.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Clear the area around the work
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
What we can’t put right
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacing)
- A bath, tray or worktop that moves until it’s properly fixed
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.
