Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Slinfold
Some sealant jobs aren’t a simple reseal, because someone has already had a go. New sealant over old, smeared beads, unsuitable products and hidden mould all need stripping out. We work on leaking tray & enclosure joints, mouldy bath & shower sealant and expansion joints, and the jobs we see most are floor or wall movement joints that have failed and repeat leaks from the same joint.
Somewhere as small as Slinfold, 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.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Questions from Slinfold
Is Slinfold within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Christs Hospital station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
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.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Does remedial work come with a guarantee?
Yes, for 12 months. If we have pointed out another problem, getting it fixed helps the new joint last.
Where are you based?
We work from Crawley. We cover Slinfold and the rest of West Sussex.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
The process
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and tidy away. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. For a village or hamlet like Slinfold, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. 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.
- We treat any mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Advice
What happens if it’s left?
DIY removal often leaves scratches and a film of residue, and the residue left behind stops the next bead bonding. Careful stripping is where most of our time goes. Around Slinfold, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot 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 make a difference.
What you get with us
- A sealant colour to suit the surroundings
- A choice of colours where the product allows

Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
- Find out why the sealant failed first
If the joint ever needs renewing, have it cut out, not sealed over. Over-sealing is how many remedial jobs start.
Mould trapped under over-sealed joints spreads unseen. When it finally shows, the whole bead needs to come out.
What the job involves on each surface
Movement & expansion joints
Some movement joints have been filled with mortar or grout. We rake that out where it can be removed and seal with a flexible product.
Worktops & kitchens
Shrunken worktop sealant leaves a gap that lets water into the back edge. We strip it, degrease the joint and reseal colour-matched to the worktop.

What affects the cost of remedial sealant
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether the work is at height
- The number of rooms or windows
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The number and length of the joints
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it’s useful to know:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Roughly how big the job is
To get a quote, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us where the job is and what the problem looks like. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.
Should I try it myself first?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
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.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Slinfold
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. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Slinfold. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room.
Rented homes near Christs Hospital station change hands often, and failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak. Schools such as Slinfold CofE Primary School are buildings too, and 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. If you live in an older home near The Parish Church of St Peter, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
