Remedial sealant in South Harting: local notes
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up 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 Petersfield station, failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak. In the older streets around The Parish Church of St Mary & St Gabriel, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

How we handle remedial sealant in South Harting
A movement joint stops working when its sealant splits or sets hard. The old sealant comes out and backing goes in to control the depth, before resealing with a flexible product suited to the movement. If you’re dealing with sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared and thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles, we can help, whatever the surface.
Around South Harting, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

What happens if it’s left?
Hidden water does the most damage: soaked floorboards, ceiling stains below and blown plaster. Dealing with the joint now is a small job by comparison. Older cottages and farmhouses around South Harting can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.

How the job changes by surface
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Mould often spreads under the bead as well as through it. We treat the exposed joint once the bead is out.
Leaking trays & enclosures
Where the joints are the problem, every bead is stripped and resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone, including the screen profile and tray edges.
The process
Once we are on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. For a village or hamlet like South Harting, 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.
- Surrounding tiles, trays and frames are protected first.
- Every layer of failed sealant is stripped out.
- The joint is degreased and checked for movement and leaks.
- Once dry, a suitable sealant is applied and tooled.
- You get the cure time and our view on why the joint failed.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

South Harting: your questions answered
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Petersfield station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Will you come out to South Harting?
Yes, South Harting is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us.
What happens if the problem is the tray or the plumbing?
You will hear it from us. If it’s a cracked tray, a failed valve or a leaking waste, resealing won’t fix it, and we will not reseal for the sake of it.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and we will quote it together.
Do I need to be at home?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will tell you what we are using.
Does remedial work come with a guarantee?
Yes, for 12 months. Where we’ve flagged another fault, it needs fixing for the joint to last.
Honest limits
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- A tray or bath that’s cracked
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Older mastics that may need an asbestos check before removal
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Expansion joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Failed movement joints
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
When to call us in South Harting
A lot of failed joints have been sealed over rather than replaced. New silicone cannot stick to the old bead, so the new layer peels, and damp and mould settle between them.
The problems people usually mention when they call are:
- Repeat leaks from the same joint
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
If you look after a building such as Harting CofE Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
What your quote should include
- Who turns up on the day
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- How long the guarantee is
