How we handle remedial sealant in South Town
A joint that keeps failing normally has a reason. A tray that moves, a worktop that isn’t fixed, the wrong sealant or water getting in elsewhere will defeat even a perfect bead. We look for the cause before we reseal. We work on leaking tray & enclosure joints, shrunken worktop sealant and mouldy bath & shower sealant, and people most often call us about gaps opening along the back of the worktop and repeat leaks from the same joint.
Around South Town, 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.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in South Town as everywhere else we work.

Do you need remedial sealant in South Town?
Joint depth matters. A bead bonded on three sides, or laid too thick, can’t flex, and tears at the first real movement. Backing rod or bond-breaker tape prevents it.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
If you live in an older home near Church of St Andrew, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

What happens if it’s left?
A joint that has failed twice will fail again unless the cause is dealt with. Taking time to find the cause, whether it’s movement, a leak or the wrong product, is what stops it happening again. In a small place like South Town, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.

Where do you work from?
We work from Crawley. We cover South Town and the rest of Hampshire.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status, and we are fully insured.
Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Will there be a smell?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Cure times vary by product and the conditions. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
Can I do it myself?
If you are 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 fails, we can still redo it.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, 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.
Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Clean sealant with mild products only
- Deal with small splits early
- Do not point over movement joints
- Do not add new sealant on top of old
Clean gently: no scraping, scouring pads or harsh chemicals.
Movement joints that have split let water into the structure, and left long enough, the edges of the joint can crumble. Resealing while the edges are sound is simpler.
