Common questions in The Haven
I let a flat near Billingshurst station. Can you help?
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 give you a clear price.
Can you do remedial sealant in The Haven?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and The Haven is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Do I have to be there?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Do you fix expansion and movement joints?
Yes. If a joint has been filled with mortar or rigid filler, we rake it out where possible, and reseal with a flexible product.
How long will it take to strip and reseal the joint?
The number of joints and layers decides it. We’ll tell you before any work starts.
Is there any odour?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Is remedial work guaranteed?
Yes, with our 12-month guarantee. If we’ve pointed out another problem, getting it fixed helps the new joint last.
Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in The Haven
If a joint has been resealed and is leaking again, it’s worth a proper look. It helps to have photos when you ring 0345 464 0079 or email us, along with when it was last resealed. Typical jobs include dark patches showing through the sealant and worktop sealant that has shrunk and split, across mouldy bath & shower sealant, leaking tray & enclosure joints and failed movement joints.
For a small place like The Haven, remedial sealant is planned like any other job: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. Once we are there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

What affects the cost of remedial sealant
Call for a quick quote. What matters most is:
- The size of the job
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- How many areas need sealing
- Any working-time requirements on site
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
What to tell us for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- How we’d reach the joints
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- The type of property
- The problem you’ve noticed
There’s no standard price list, because every job is different. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To arrange one, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
What happens if it’s left?
Adding more sealant is the usual quick fix, and it rarely works. It cannot bond to what’s underneath, so the leak carries on and there’s now more to remove. Older cottages and farmhouses around The Haven can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

How it works
Once we are on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. For a village or hamlet like The Haven, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- The failure is looked at first, so we know whether it’s sealant, movement or water from elsewhere.
- Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.
- 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
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

What we are called out for in The Haven
Using the wrong product is a common cause: caulk where it gets wet, rigid sealant where things move, or an acetoxy silicone on a surface it can mark. Each fails in its own way.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
Rented homes near Billingshurst station change hands often, and failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.

What the job involves on each surface
Leaking trays & enclosures
Repeat shower leaks often come from a tray that flexes or an enclosure sealed in the wrong place. Both are checked before we reseal.
Worktops & kitchens
Old kitchen sealant pulls back from the wall over time. It’s cut out, degreased and resealed in a colour to suit.
Should I try it myself first?
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.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
