- Movement joints that have split or pulled away
- Over-sealed joints coming away
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
Different surfaces, different methods
Over-sealed & botched joints
Every layer has to come out, and silicone residue is cleaned off the tiles too. New sealant needs a fully clean surface.
Worktops & kitchens
Shrunken worktop sealant leaves a gap that lets water into the back edge. It’s cut out, degreased and resealed colour-matched to the worktop.
Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Sullington
Removing failed sealant is the hardest part of the job. Every layer is cut out, the residue cleaned off and the joint degreased, taking care not to scratch the surfaces around it. Only then can new sealant bond. We’re often asked to deal with floor or wall movement joints that have failed and thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles, on shrunken worktop sealant, leaking tray & enclosure joints and mouldy bath & shower sealant.
In a village or hamlet like Sullington, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Sullington as everywhere else we work.

What we do, step by step
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the job takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied for a typical job. For a village or hamlet like Sullington, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off.
- We treat any mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- The joint is tooled and you’re told about anything else we found.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

What remedial sealant looks like in Sullington
There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Sullington. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room. 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 Mary, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. If you look after a building such as Thakeham Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. Rented homes near Amberley station change hands often, and failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.

Why deal with it now?
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’ll hear it from us. Older cottages and farmhouses around Sullington can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
Is Sullington within the area you cover?

When is the sealant fully cured?
It depends on the product. Before we leave, we will tell you the cure time.

Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we are fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Can you strip sealant from an acrylic tray safely?
Yes. The old bead is cut and lifted with tools that suit the surface, then clean off the residue. Any existing damage is pointed out before we start.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Normally, yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours, and we agree the colour with you before work begins.
Which products do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

DIY versus a professional finish
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
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.
How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Never seal over old silicone
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
- Run the fan after every shower
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
Where we have pointed out another fault, have it put right, or the new joint may fail again.
A split movement joint lets rain into walls and floors, and the longer it’s left, the more the joint edges break down. Resealing while the edges are sound is simpler.
