Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Sidlesham Common
Not every leak is a sealant leak. A cracked tray, a failed shower valve or a leaking waste can look just the same. When the fault is elsewhere, we say so instead of resealing for the sake of it. If you have smears and lumps from a botched reseal and black mould underneath the bead, we can help, whatever the surface.
Homes around Sidlesham Common are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats. The work is the same as anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

How it works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and clear up. It generally takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. For a village or hamlet like Sidlesham Common, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.
- Mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- The joint is tooled and you’re told about anything else we found.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Advice
Bathrooms and kitchens in Sidlesham Common
Sidlesham Common is within about 2 miles of the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you live in an older home near St Mary Our Lady Sidlesham, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

Questions from Sidlesham Common
Is Sidlesham Common within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Sidlesham Common?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
Someone sealed over the old bead. Can you fix it?
Yes. Both layers come out; over-sealing fails because silicone will not bond to silicone.
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.
Can you fix a reseal that hasn’t worked?
Yes. We will take all the sealant out, look for why it failed and reseal it properly.
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
What we are called out for in Sidlesham Common
Joint depth matters. A bead bonded on three sides, or laid too thick, cannot flex, so it tears when the joint moves. Backing rod or bond-breaker tape prevents it.
The problems people normally mention when they call are:
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
- Over-sealed joints coming away
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
If you let a flat or house near Chichester station, a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.

Quotes for remedial sealant in Sidlesham Common
We do not publish a price list. What we look at:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The amount of work
- Access and height
- The number of rooms or windows
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.
Asking for a quote
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Whether it has been sealed before
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- The address or postcode of the job
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email photos if that is easy.
Different surfaces, different methods
Windows & doors
Some leaks around windows come from the wall or the window itself. We check the joint and tell you if it looks to be something else.
Over-sealed & botched joints
Thick, smeared sealant looks messy and hides problems. Taking it back shows what’s underneath.
Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- A bath, tray or worktop that moves until it’s properly fixed
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacing)
- Water damage behind tiles that needs a tiler
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Expansion joints
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Failed movement joints
Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
For landlords and businesses
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Landlords and letting agents in Sidlesham Common can book us as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for.
