About our remedial sealant in West Grinstead
Not every leak is a sealant leak. A cracked tray, a failed shower valve or a leaking waste can look just the same. When the fault is elsewhere, we say so instead of resealing for the sake of it. Common call-outs are for torn expansion joints and products that weren’t meant for the joint, on botched or over-sealed joints, leaking tray & enclosure joints and failed movement joints.
Somewhere as small as West Grinstead, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

What affects the cost of remedial sealant
We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:
- The size of the job
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Whether the work is at height
- Working hours on commercial sites
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before work begins.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- The type of property
- A few pictures by email, if you can
We quote each job on its own, so the first step is telling us about yours. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details and send pictures if you have them.

Is remedial sealant in West Grinstead guaranteed?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Is West Grinstead in your area for remedial sealant?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and West Grinstead is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.
Can you work on commercial sites?

Is it worth trying it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is usually more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
What sealant do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
How long does remedial resealing take?
It takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. You’ll know the timing when we quote.

Different surfaces, different methods
Movement & expansion joints
Some movement joints have been filled with mortar or grout. Where it can be raked out, we replace it with flexible sealant.
Leaking trays & enclosures
A shower that leaks after resealing often has a tray that moves or an enclosure sealed on the wrong side. Both are checked before we reseal.
What happens if it’s left?
Remedial work takes longer than a straight reseal, but rarely a lot: it takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. Compared with chasing the same leak every few months, it’s time well spent. In a small place like West Grinstead, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.

What we do, step by step
At the end, we look at the finished work together. The work normally takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere like West Grinstead needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. 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.
- Moving joints get backing and a flexible sealant to suit.
- The new joint is tooled neatly and we explain anything else we found.
Preparing for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Advice
Remedial sealant in West Grinstead: local notes
Most of the South East has hard water, 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 Shrine Church of Our Lady of Consolation and St Francis, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. In and around West Grinstead, as anywhere, good remedial sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
- Do not wait for a small gap to become a leak
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
Ventilation keeps mould away from the new bead: use the extractor or open a window after showering.
Mould under a second layer of sealant keeps growing out of sight. When it finally shows, the whole bead needs to come out.
