Common questions in Westdean
Is Westdean within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Seaford station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
How long should I leave it?
Different products cure at different speeds, so follow the cure time we give you when we finish.
Is it messy?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
What do you need from me for a quote?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few pictures.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do. We can talk about working times when we quote.
Does someone need to be in?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Remedial sealant in Westdean, done properly
Decorators’ caulk in a shower, bathroom silicone on a window, a rigid filler in a movement joint fails however neatly it’s applied. Out it comes, and in goes a sealant suited to the job. We work on expansion joints, mouldy bath & shower sealant and shrunken worktop sealant, and the jobs we see most are black mould underneath the bead and over-sealed joints coming away.
In a village or hamlet like Westdean, 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.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Why deal with it now?
Leaks that are left keep doing damage out of sight: soaked floorboards, ceiling stains below and blown plaster. By comparison, sorting the joint is quick. In a small place like Westdean, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear price before work begins.

Common problems we fix in Westdean
Silicone only bonds to surfaces that are clean and dry. Soap film, dust, damp or old residue stop it gripping, and the joint starts to come away early.
The most common problems we see are:
- Over-sealed joints coming away
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
Schools such as Ladycross School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

- How the colour is chosen
Can I do it myself?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
Remedial sealant around Westdean
Westdean is within about 2 miles of the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
For an older house near a landmark such as The Parish Church of All Saints, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. For landlords with property near Seaford station, a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty.

Surface by surface
Worktops & kitchens
Shrunken worktop sealant leaves a gap that lets water into the back edge. It’s cut out, degreased and resealed.
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 sealant work cannot fix
In fairness, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Cracks in the fitting rather than the joint
- Failed tanking or loose tiles behind the sealant
- A bath, tray or worktop that moves until it’s properly fixed
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Failed movement joints
- Expansion joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
The process
All our tools and materials come with us in the van. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. Somewhere as small as Westdean, access is often the only tricky part. 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.
- 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
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

What affects the cost of remedial sealant
We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The amount of work
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The type of sealant required
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- Whether it has been sealed before
