Remedial sealant in Tangmere
Movement and expansion joints fail when the sealant cannot stretch. The old sealant comes out and backing goes in to control the depth, before resealing with a flexible product suited to the movement. If you have products that weren’t meant for the joint and a second bead peeling off the first, we can help.
Smaller places like Tangmere still have plenty of bathrooms that work hard every day. Whether it’s a cottage bathroom or a newer en suite, the approach is the same: all the old material out, the joint cleaned and dried, then new sealant or grout.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
Different surfaces, different methods
Windows & doors
Frames resealed over the top end up with hard, layered mastic. All of it is cut out and the frame and wall cleaned before backing and resealing.
Over-sealed & botched joints
Every layer has to come out, including the smears and film on surrounding tiles. Only a clean joint will take a new bead.
Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
- Deal with small splits early
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
Leave the new joint to cure fully before it gets wet or moves: follow the cure time we give you.
Movement joints that have split let water into the structure, and left long enough, the edges of the joint can crumble. A joint with sound edges is far easier to reseal.
Leave it or put it right?
Repeat failures have a cause. Finding it, whether movement, water from elsewhere or an unsuitable product, ends the cycle. In a smaller place like Tangmere, 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.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Tangmere: your questions answered
Do you take on hotel work around Tangmere?
Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
I let a flat near Chichester station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Someone sealed over the old bead. Can you fix it?
Yes. Both layers come out; new silicone doesn’t bond to old silicone, which is why over-sealing fails.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Can you fix a reseal that hasn’t worked?
Yes, generally. First we check whether the leak is the sealant at all, then strip and reseal the joints.
Is it messy?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we’re fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Remedial sealant around Tangmere
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Tangmere. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room.
Homes close to St Andrew's Church include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. Schools such as Tangmere Primary Academy are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. For landlords with property near Chichester station, botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.

What we do, step by step
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, carry out the job and tidy away. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. For a job in Tangmere, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- The failure is looked at first, so we know whether it’s sealant, movement or water from elsewhere.
- Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off.
- We treat any mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The right product goes in, with backing where the joint moves.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
Preparing for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
