How we handle remedial sealant in Selsfield Common
A joint that keeps letting you down needs more than another bead. It helps to have pictures when you call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email. Common call-outs are for smears and lumps from a botched reseal and over-sealed joints coming away, across failed movement joints, expansion joints and leaking tray & enclosure joints.
Homes around Selsfield Common 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.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee in Selsfield Common and across West Sussex.

The process
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before we start. Most jobs take a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. In a small place like Selsfield Common, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- 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.
- We use the right backing and sealant for any joint that moves.
- Finally we finish the joint and talk you through what we found.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on

Selsfield Common questions
Can you do remedial sealant in Selsfield Common?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Selsfield Common is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
I let a flat near East Grinstead station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Different products cure at different speeds, so follow the cure time we give you when we finish.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Which products do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We’ll tell you what we’re using and why.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Can you match the sealant colour?
In most cases you can choose. We will tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before work begins.
What we are called out for in Selsfield Common
Joints that move need sealant that can stretch. A bath that flexes, a tray that rocks or a building joint that opens and closes split any bead that is too stiff or too thin.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Beads that never stuck properly
- Black mould underneath the bead
- Caulk or the wrong sealant used in a wet area
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
If you look after a building such as Turners Hill CofE Primary School, 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 to ask before you book
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
Should I try it myself first?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
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.
Surface by surface
Movement & expansion joints
A movement joint must be able to stretch. Failed sealant is cut out, backing rod or tape is fitted and the joint resealed.
Worktops & kitchens
A loose worktop splits its sealant. That needs refixing before resealing, which we will point out.

Selsfield Common homes and their sealant
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
If you let a flat or house near East Grinstead station, a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Leonard, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
- Keep the room well ventilated
Ventilation keeps mould away from the new bead: use the extractor or open a window after showering.
Don’t keep resealing the same joint. Get the cause found first, or the next bead will go the same way.
Why act early in Selsfield Common
Leaks that are left keep doing damage out of sight: soaked floorboards, ceiling stains below and blown plaster. By comparison, sorting the joint is quick. In a small place like Selsfield Common, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before we start, so you know where you stand.
