Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in West Green
A movement joint stops working when its sealant splits or sets hard. We cut out the failed sealant and set the depth with backing, before resealing with a flexible product suited to the movement. Typical jobs include beads that never stuck properly and thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles, across botched or over-sealed joints, shrunken worktop sealant and leaking tray & enclosure joints.
Homes around West Green range from older cottages to more recent houses. Older homes can move a little with the seasons, which is hard on tired sealant and rigid grout.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in West Green as everywhere else we work.

Signs you need remedial sealant in West Green
Some joints fail because water is reaching them from behind. A leaking valve, a failed waste or cracked grout feeds water behind the bead, and the sealant lifts or goes mouldy from underneath.
People generally contact us after spotting one of these:
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
- Black mould underneath the bead
- Over-sealed joints coming away
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
For an older house near a landmark such as Voice of Deliverance Full Gospel Church of God, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
Questions to ask before booking
- Is VAT in the price?
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- What happens if the job turns out different
- What the cure time is
Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple:
- Do not point over movement joints
- Find out why the sealant failed first
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
- Keep the room well ventilated
If we have found a cause, such as a loose tray or a leaking waste, get it fixed, because the new sealant can’t hold back a problem underneath.
Warning signs: sealant lifting at the ends, a second bead visible on top of the first, black mould under the silicone, or stains below a bathroom. Any of them means it’s time for remedial work.
What the job involves on each surface
Movement & expansion joints
A sealant stuck to the back of the joint cannot stretch. Backing stops that, so the sealant grips the two sides only.
Over-sealed & botched joints
A botched joint can hide two or three layers of sealant, and silicone residue is cleaned off the tiles too. New sealant needs a fully clean surface.
Remedial sealant in West Green: local notes
Crawley, which West Green is part of, is one of England’s post-war new towns. With many homes dating from the post-war decades, plenty of bathrooms have been resealed or refitted more than once. New sealant won’t stick to old, so the old layers have to come out first. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you look after a building such as West Green Primary School, 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. For landlords with property near Crawley station, a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.

West Green: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like West Green?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Crawley station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We have worked for hotels, offices and other businesses and we’re fully insured.
How long should I leave it?
It depends on the product and the conditions. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
Where do you work from?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover West Green, along with the rest of our area.
Can you reseal a split movement joint?
Yes. The depth is set with backing so the sealant only bonds to the two sides.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Should I try it myself first?
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.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
What happens on the day
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. For a job in West Green, 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.
- Mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
Getting ready for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Mention any tricky access

When it isn’t the sealant

- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
- A tray or worktop that needs refixing first
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
