Remedial sealant in West Dean
A movement joint stops working when its sealant splits or sets hard. We cut out the failed sealant and set the depth with backing, then a flexible sealant matched to the movement goes in. Common call-outs are for smears and lumps from a botched reseal and kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop, across mouldy bath & shower sealant, leaking tray & enclosure joints and shrunken worktop sealant.
In a village or hamlet like West Dean, 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.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you’re covered after we’ve gone.

Someone resealed my shower and it’s leaking again. Can you help?
Yes, generally. First we check whether the leak is the sealant at all, then the joints are stripped and resealed.

Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Surface by surface
Worktops & kitchens
Kitchen joints hold grease and residue, so we spend extra time cleaning.
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.
Landlord and commercial work in West Dean
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too. Several sites can go on one quote, and we’re fully insured for the work.
When to call us in West Dean
Using the wrong product is a common cause: acrylic caulk in a wet area, a general-purpose sealant on a moving joint, or an acetoxy silicone on natural stone or some metals. Each fails in its own way.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Beads that never stuck properly
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
Schools such as West Dean CofE Primary School are buildings too, and washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.
What to look for in a quote

How the visit works
At the end, we look at the finished work together and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself usually takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out, depending on the amount of work. Somewhere like West Dean needs a little journey planning: 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 find out how and where the joint has failed.
- We strip the joint completely, removing any layers below.
- Next, any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- Where the joint moves, backing and a flexible sealant suited to the movement go in.
- The new joint is tooled neatly and we explain anything else we found.
How to prepare
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints

Advice
How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
- Check ceilings under showers for marks
Watch the joint over the first few weeks, particularly where the original failure was caused by movement. If anything changes, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Mould trapped under over-sealed joints spreads unseen. When it finally shows, the whole bead needs to come out.

West Dean homes and their sealant
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
Rented homes near Fishbourne station change hands often, and botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants. Homes close to The Parish Church of St Andrew include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
