- Repeat leaks from the same joint

Common problems we fix in Steyning
Even good sealant ages. Over the years it shrinks, hardens and gets colonised by mould. Then the only fix is removal and a new bead.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
- Black mould underneath the bead
If you look after a building such as Steyning CofE Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Are they insured?
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
About our remedial sealant in Steyning
Remedial jobs in Steyning normally fall into a few patterns: sealant over sealant, mould under the bead, leaks that come back and movement joints that have split. We strip each one back and start from scratch. We work on expansion joints, botched or over-sealed joints and mouldy bath & shower sealant, and the jobs we see most are sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted and mould trapped under a layer of silicone.
In a smaller place like Steyning, homes are mostly houses and bungalows rather than flats, from older cottages to newer builds. Bathrooms and kitchens here get the same daily wear as anywhere, and the sealant and grout show it first.
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee.

What happens on the day
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. For a job in Steyning, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.
- Mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The right product goes in, with backing where the joint moves.
- The joint is tooled and you’re told about anything else we found.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Should I try it myself first?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Landlord and commercial work in Steyning
We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for.
If you manage several properties in or around Steyning, several properties can go on one quote. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs.
Why act early in Steyning
Repeat failures have a cause. Finding it, whether movement, water from elsewhere or an unsuitable product, ends the cycle. In a smaller place like Steyning, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
We don’t show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll talk you through it.

Can you help a landlord with a rental near Lancing station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Do you take on hotel work around Steyning?

Are you an approved applicator?

Is there any odour?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Can you strip sealant from an acrylic tray safely?
Yes. We avoid heavy scraping and use the right cleaner for each surface, so the new sealant bonds cleanly.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is normally more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Does remedial work come with a guarantee?
Yes. You get our 12-month guarantee, and we’re ARBOMaster approved.
Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Do not wait for a small gap to become a leak
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
- Check trays and worktops don’t move
Keep the room ventilated: use the extractor or open a window after showering.
Don’t keep resealing the same joint. Have someone find out why, or the next bead will go the same way.
