Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Selmeston
If a joint fails again and again, something is causing it. A tray that moves, a worktop that isn’t fixed, the wrong sealant or water getting in elsewhere will defeat even a perfect bead. We look for the cause before we reseal. If you have smears and lumps from a botched reseal and mould trapped under a layer of silicone, we can help.
Homes around Selmeston are mostly 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.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Common questions in Selmeston
Do you cover smaller places like Selmeston?
Yes, Selmeston is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is Selmeston in your area for remedial sealant?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Selmeston is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Where do you work from?
We’re a Crawley-based firm. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Is there any odour?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
How long does remedial resealing take?
Allow a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. We will give you a timescale when we quote.

What affects the quote in Selmeston
Call for a quick quote. The main things that affect it are:

- The product the joint needs
- Access and height
- When we can work, for business premises
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first.
Helping us quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints.
Leave it or put it right?
Spraying mould remover on a sealed-over joint does not reach what’s underneath. The layers have to come out. Older cottages and farmhouses around Selmeston 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 each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
What you get with us
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows
- Sealant colour chosen to suit
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over

Surface by surface
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Mould can sit behind the silicone, not just in it. We treat the exposed joint once the bead is out so the new sealant starts clean.
Windows & doors
Frames resealed over the top end up with hard, layered mastic. We remove it all and clean back to sound surfaces before backing and resealing.
Remedial sealant in Selmeston: local notes

- We protect the surfaces around the joint.
- Every layer of failed sealant is stripped out.
- We clean and degrease the joint and look for signs of movement or water.
- New sealant goes in once the joint is dry, and is tooled smooth.
- We give you the cure time and explain what caused the failure.

- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
