Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Saddlescombe
A joint that keeps letting you down needs more than another bead. It helps to have photos when you phone 0345 464 0079 or email us, along with when it was last resealed. If you have smears and lumps from a botched reseal and sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted, we can help, on leaking tray & enclosure joints, shrunken worktop sealant and botched or over-sealed joints alike.
Somewhere as small as Saddlescombe, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

What we are called out for in Saddlescombe
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.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
- Torn expansion joints
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
If you let a flat or house near Hassocks station, botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.

Leave it or put it right?
Ripping out a bathroom isn’t normally needed. If the bath, tray and tiles are sound, remedial resealing normally puts it right. If they’re not, we’ll tell you. In a small place like Saddlescombe, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.

DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
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.
What happens on the day
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we are working on, so you can carry on as normal. The job normally takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. For a village or hamlet like Saddlescombe, the journey is planned in advance: 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.
- The failure is looked at first, so we know whether it’s sealant, movement or water from elsewhere.
- Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.
- Mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The right product goes in, with backing where the joint moves.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
Before we arrive
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Remedial sealant around Saddlescombe
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 an older house near a landmark such as The Church of the Holy Trinity, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Questions from Saddlescombe
Will you come out to Saddlescombe?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.

Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We will suggest a colour to suit the surroundings, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The product needed can limit the range.
Can old silicone be taken off without scratching the tiles?
Yes. We take our time over removal, particularly on softer surfaces like acrylic.
Where are you based?
We’re based in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Do you guarantee remedial jobs?
Yes. You get our 12-month guarantee, and we’re fully insured.
When it is not the sealant
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’ll tell you before work begins. It will not solve:
- Cracks in the fitting rather than the joint
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
- Failed tanking or loose tiles behind the sealant
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Failed movement joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Expansion joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Quotes for remedial sealant in Saddlescombe
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- When we can work, for business premises
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The type of sealant required
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.
What to tell us for a quote
To make quoting easier, please include:
- Where the property is
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
There’s no standard price list. Instead, we send you a clear quote for your job. To arrange one, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
- Find out why the sealant failed first
- Run the fan after every shower
Keep the room ventilated: run the fan during and after showers, or open a window.
Mould under a second layer of sealant keeps growing out of sight. By the time it shows through, the joint is well past saving.
