Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in West Barnham
Remedial work is what we do when sealant has failed or been done badly. New sealant over old, smeared beads, unsuitable products and hidden mould all need stripping out before the joint can be done properly. If you’re dealing with sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface and torn expansion joints, we can put it right, on shrunken worktop sealant, mouldy bath & shower sealant and leaking tray & enclosure joints alike.
In a village or hamlet like West Barnham, 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’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
What happens if it’s left?
Another bead over the top won’t fix a failed joint. It cannot bond to what’s underneath, leaving the leak in place and one more layer to cut out later. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like West Barnham, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

The process
At the end, we look at the finished work together and tell you how long to leave it. The work normally takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied, depending on the amount of work. In a small place like West Barnham, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- 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 are told about anything else we found.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the work
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

When to call us in West Barnham
Some joints fail because water is reaching them from behind. A slow leak behind the tiles soaks the joint from the back, and the sealant lifts or goes mouldy from underneath.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
Managing a site like Barnham Primary School? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

Remedial sealant around West Barnham
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, 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. For landlords with property near Barnham station, botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.

Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
- Check ceilings under showers for marks
- Act on a lifting corner right away
Where we’ve pointed out another fault, have it put right, because the new sealant cannot hold back a problem underneath.
Warning signs: peeling layers, mould showing through the bead, leaks after showering or cracks in a movement joint. Any of them means it’s time for remedial work.
Different surfaces, different methods
Worktops & kitchens
Kitchen joints often have grease and cleaning residue deep in them, so we spend extra time cleaning.
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.
