Remedial sealant & repairs in Westerton, West Sussex
Problem with your failed sealant joints in Westerton? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly.
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
- A second bead peeling off the first
What we’re called out for in Westerton
All sealant wears out eventually. Over the years it shrinks, hardens and gets colonised by mould. At that point it has to come out.
Look out for these signs:
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
Homes close to The Parish Church of St Peter include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
What your quote should include
- How much experience the applicator has
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
Remedial sealant in Westerton, done properly
Water on the floor does not always mean failed silicone. Cracked trays, leaking wastes and faulty valves often look like a sealant problem. When the fault is elsewhere, we say so instead of resealing for the sake of it. If you are dealing with decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower and kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop, we can put it right.
Being in a small place like Westerton makes no difference to the job itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

Westerton homes and their sealant
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. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Westerton. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room.
If you let a flat or house near Chichester station, a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty. If you look after a building such as The March CofE 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.

Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
How the job changes by surface
Worktops & kitchens
A loose worktop splits its sealant. That needs refixing before resealing, and we’ll tell you if we find it.
Leaking trays & enclosures
Where the joints are the problem, every bead is stripped and resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone, tray edges and screen profiles included.
Common questions in Westerton
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Westerton?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Will you come out to Westerton?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you reseal a split movement joint?
Yes. We cut out the failed sealant, fit backing and reseal with a flexible product.
Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Will it make a mess?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
What information do you need?
Tell us what needs doing and where, with pictures by email if possible. We will ask anything else we need to know.
Does remedial work come with a guarantee?
Yes, with our 12-month guarantee. If we have pointed out another problem, getting it fixed helps the new joint last.
How we quote for remedial sealant
We don’t publish a price list. The quote depends on:
- Access and height
- The number of rooms or windows
- Which sealant suits the joint
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
Combining jobs into one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We’ll give you a clear quote for the lot.
What we need to know
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- The rough size of the job
Need a quote? Please call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the job. We will explain what we’d do and send you a clear quote before any work starts.
Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- 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
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
Go easy on the new sealant: no scraping, scouring pads or harsh chemicals.
Warning signs: peeling layers, mould showing through the bead, leaks after showering or cracks in a movement joint. Each one is worth getting looked at.
The process
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself usually takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out, depending on the size of the job. In a small place like Westerton, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.
- Mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The right product goes in, with backing where the joint moves.
- We finish neatly and point out anything that needs another trade.
How to prepare
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Tell us about any water getting in
