Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in West Hoathly
A movement joint stops working when its sealant splits or sets hard. The old sealant comes out and backing goes in to control the depth, then a flexible sealant matched to the movement goes in. If you’re dealing with worktop sealant that has shrunk and split and sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface, we can help.
In a village or hamlet like West Hoathly, 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.
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in West Sussex.

Do you need remedial sealant in West Hoathly?
Joint depth matters. A bead bonded on three sides, or laid too thick, cannot flex, and tears at the first real movement. Backing sets the depth and stops that.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
Homes close to St Margaret's Church include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.

- Every layer of failed sealant is stripped out.

How we quote for remedial sealant
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The size of the job
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Any mould that needs treating
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
What we need to know
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Whether it has been sealed before
- The address or postcode of the job

Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple:
- Deal with small splits early
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
- Run the fan after every shower
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
Do not let anyone seal over it later. Over-sealing is how many remedial jobs start.
A failing joint rarely gets better on its own. Every shower or downpour sends more water through, into whatever is behind or below. Early action keeps it to a sealant job.
DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again.
