Remedial sealant in South Street, done properly
The wrong product in the wrong joint fails however neatly it’s applied. Out it comes, and in goes a sealant suited to the job. We work on failed movement joints, botched or over-sealed joints and shrunken worktop sealant, and common reasons people get in touch are over-sealed joints coming away and torn expansion joints.
In a village or hamlet like South Street, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

Why act early in South Street
A failed seal rarely means a new bathroom. When the fittings are sound, stripping and resealing the joints is often enough. Where something else has failed, you will hear it from us. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like South Street, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
- Report a tray that rocks or a worktop that lifts
- Don’t wait for a small gap to become a leak
- Run the fan after every shower
Leave the new joint to cure fully before it gets wet or moves: usually around 24 hours, or as long as we advise.
A failing joint rarely gets better on its own. Each use pushes more water behind the bead, into whatever is behind or below. Sorting it early limits the damage.

Do you take out the old sealant first?

What else we do in South Street
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Different surfaces, different methods
Movement & expansion joints
Bonding on three sides is a common reason movement joints tear. Backing stops that, letting the sealant flex between the two faces.
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.
When to call us in South Street
Even good sealant ages. Over the years it shrinks, hardens and gets colonised by mould. At that point it has to come out.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- Beads that never stuck properly
- A second bead peeling off the first
For landlords with property near Plumpton station, failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.
Questions to ask before you book
- How much experience the applicator has
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- What the cure time is
- How the colour is chosen

What we do, step by step
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out in most cases. In a small place like South Street, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by checking the joint for movement, leaks and the reason it failed.
- Every layer of old sealant is cut and cleaned out.
- We clean the joint, treat any mould and let it dry.
- Moving joints get backing and a flexible sealant to suit.
- The new joint is tooled neatly and we explain anything else we found.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
How to get a quote
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and add pictures by email if you can.
Advice
South Street homes and their sealant
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
In the older streets around The Parish Church of St Peter, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. Schools such as Chailey 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.
