How it works
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out, and the area is left clean. For a village or hamlet like Stanmer, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We protect the surfaces around the joint.
- The botched or failed sealant is cut away completely.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Mention any tricky access

Advice
What happens if it’s left?
Stripping out botched sealant adds time to a reseal, but not by much: it takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. Compared with chasing the same leak every few months, it’s time well spent. Around Stanmer, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Why book with us
- White, clear, grey or another colour, product permitting
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- Trusted Arbo and Everbuild sealants
- We never seal over old sealant
Remedial sealant around Stanmer
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Coldean Primary School, 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. For landlords with property near Falmer station, a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty. For an older house near a landmark such as Stanmer Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Deal with small splits early
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
Give the new sealant its full cure time: normally around 24 hours, or as long as we advise.
Mould under a second layer of sealant keeps growing out of sight. When it finally shows, the whole bead needs to come out.
DIY versus a professional finish
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
